How could china have handled the NED funded protest in Hong Kong better in your opinion?
In HK: the police calmed the protests with no deaths attributed to the police, only the protestors such as the girl's suicide and the man they lit on fire.
In USA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiU8sL7Yq9Q
But yeah, China bad
The man lit on fire survived, but there was the old dude the protestors hit with a brick [that you link below, but he wasn't the same as the arson victim] and that protestor who fell off a ladder or something and died.
Right, I knew 2 died, I got them mixed up a tiny bit. Below I have provided sources.
I didn't know about the suicide, so debateably it was 3. Anyway, I appreciate your integrity.
Wait, the HK protesters had one of their girl's suicide and a man lit on fire...? Give me a good source on that...
I love giving sources!

I was just waiting for someone to ask!
Thanks,,,
Why do you wait for someone to ask?
I like people to be interested and want the info. I don't know if you've noticed from my conversation here, the majority of people just want to argue with me and not actually learn something.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Please stop comparing a bullshit protest to people suffering pogroms and genocide. Thanks.
I see my response was censored/removed by "the mod". I'm almost positive you took what I said out of context, because I don't make mistakes like that.
I didn't quote what you said at all so it's impossible that I took it out of context. It was a gross statement and you should do better.
that's what I said - the mod censored what I wrote because the mod is capricious. Are you a todd? Mod?
They're both genocide, but let's condemn both and not play whataboutism
The NED funded protests in HK were genocide.. interesting. Do you have a source on that?
