“Canadian and American pots call the Hong Kong kettle black” | Alex Lo

 

Online here
I clearly remember the invasion of our LegCo chamber by the mobs in 2019. How they trashed the chamber. 

The west and many here in Hong Kong — including many of our friends — cheered this on. A battle against the tyrants in Beijing. 

While we were thinking — this is crazy. It isn’t going to end well. And it didn’t: it gave us the National Security Law. 

Hong Kong gets hammered for jailing some of the vandals of LegCo. Jailed for some months or in some cases for a few years. Meantime the US regime cheers the jailing of January 6 protesters for 30 years. 30 years! Who did nothing more or less than the demonstrators in Hong Kong did. 

This is grossest hypocrisy. Hypocrisy: a better word for “Whataboutism”. Hypocrisy. 

So, again, I’m agreeing with Alex Lo. Weird, but there it is.
