China is a human rights violating totalitarian nightmare to those that don't follow the state doctrine. I don't see any bias in the west for calling a spade a spade.
There is no equivalency between worldviews here imo
I do feel like "freedom fighters" do get a bit over romanticized though
Brings me back to Syria where literal al Qaeda terrorists were being armed, funded, and propped up by the West.
Makes me wonder how organic these protests really are and what percentage of HK support them.
