I'm only going to comment once more on this, as it's pretty obvious that people here are set in their opinions. Yes, I agree there are issues with China's government. But to act like all the protesters in HK are blameless in this is just wrong. I see the argument that anyone criticizing the protesters are China "bots" or "brainwashed" by Chinese state media, but if you actually talk to regular Chinese people, (and not just mainlanders, but also Chinese people that are from Hong Kong), there's a lot of blame to go around for both sides. It's not all on the feet of the Chinese government. And it is pretty obvious the western media has a clear bias towards one side. Google any news about it, and it's always on the side of protesters being the victims.
How do you defend the blatant racism now rampant among the Hong Kong people on how they treat mainland Chinese people in HK? These mainland people are just trying to live in the city and earn a living, yet they're openly being verbally and physically assaulted on a regular basis. I find it embarrassing as a person of Chinese decent that Chinese people in Hong Kong are being so openly racist against other regular Chinese people in the city. Have your issues with the government, fine. But that does not excuse all the racist rants and and actions these guys are doing on a daily basis. There is just so much vitriol towards mainland Chinese people, it's a bit sickening TBH.
