Right, I'm only talking about mainland China. It seems to me Taiwanese people are more/less on the same side as Hong Kong, in that they both dislike Chinese government. This is precisely what I'm talking about. What is it about mainland Chinese that either approve of all these human rights violation or turn a blind-eye. Either way they are siding with the Chinese government, and it seems that is how they see themselves, as an extension of the government. So then the question is, why would we also not blame the people who are basically saying they are part of the government, or at best they will not hold their own government accountable?
