You realize the Chinese government makes this exact same argument about the recent Hong Kong riots, right?

  Except in one of those, protesters weren't invading government buildings, they were assembled in an open square. And it wasn't just one rioter about to break into the house chamber that got shot, it was hundreds or even thousands of people gunned down. Drawing any sort of equivalency between these two events strikes me as extremely far fetched.

    Yeah, if only because HK rioters actually assaulted and seriously injured people. They absolutely destroyed govt property too.
