I think it's a bit different in authoritarian countries that don't have other methods of redress. These people are literally putting their lives on the line for their rights, which was not the case in Canada. We just had an election that re-affirmed the Liberals as the government, and these clowns showed up to alter that election result. We have other means of redress in Canada, other routes to take. They don't in China.
