In the US I've been sadly unsurprised by how little coverage Hong Kong has gotten recently. Our politicians are a disgrace. They scream about democracy when a bunch of hooligans riot at the Capitol, but when a human-rights defiling government legitimately suppresses democracy for 7M people, they stay silent. They stay silent on organ harvesting, on the quasi-genocide of the Uighurs, and any number of other human rights abuses. If the politicians, particularly those on the left, had an ounce of principle and even attempted to walk their talk, they would be leading the charge against China at every turn. Here is a chance to step up for human rights and democracy in a big way, and it's crickets from our leaders.
