This is one of those situations where I have to hold two conflicting ideas in my head at the same time and am reminded of the difficulty of doing that.
You both make good points. China is doing a lot of bad stuff here, but it is their land and their right to exert their power over it how they see fit.
If China tried to tell another sovereign nation how to handle their internal disputes, they'd be just as wrong as the west is in this.
This is really something China needs to handle. It's not the west's place to butt in.
At the risk of whatabouting it, most of all the tactics you're saying China is using in Hong Kong have been used by western governments as well. It's not right.
You know, China gave away Hong Kong to stop the bombing from the west and now China is trying to wrestle back control of it... kind of still, in a way, from the west.
It was the west that caused this problem in Hong Kong. It's time the west stopped meddling in it and I think that'd be best.
