That's the gist of it. Of course I omitted a lot of things, and not all of them are in the protesters's favor either. > You omitted how China pressured Cathay Pacific to identify and punish its staff involved in (peaceful, legal) protests. A pilot who took part in violent protests was barred from flying in China's air space. Some other employee who illegally leaked customer information where disciplined or fired. Please tell us how those punishments are unfair. > You omitted any mention of police violence. The police were never violent before the protesters got violent. They simply responded in kind. You think they should just stand still and take the beating/burning? > you omitted the important fact that Taiwan's government very early made it clear that they did not want the extradition law. > You decline to explain why the HK government refused to officially withdraw the extradition law for months after declaring it "dead". The chief executive officially announced its withdrawal about a month ago. How are you going to justify the continuing violence and destruction since then?
