It's not to excuse it but to explain it. Here in Hong Kong we got a taste of china kneejerk reaction to violent dissent and it should not be forgotten that things like that have a starting point. The communists are making a terrible strategic mistake in Xinjiang by creating a shared oppression but they did it following a series of events that is important to remember. For instance I d strongly discourage mass murder in Hong Kong as a way to express discontent since China would be ready to intern us all in singing camps where we d be beaten into singing the glory of the motherland.
