Excellent talk Cyrus and Shaun. As a Hong Kong local who have spent years living in the West (and now back in Hong Kong), it bothers me how so much of the main stream media is biased with their anti-China narrative, and how many of the local HK kids/protestors are so blinkered and bought into all that. This talk is very balanced, and simply reflective of the reality of what is happening in HK. Shaun rightly pointed out the work by Pompeo and Hawley adding fuel to the fire, as well as the many failings of the HK government.
But to me, the worst culprits are the adults in HK who deliberately encouraged the kids and pushed them onto the streets, using them as foot soldiers to cause chaos. The youth in HK are victims - young impressionable kids being fed a false narrative, being told that they are fighting for a just cause, and worth the sacrifice. Many young lives and families are ruined, with jail sentences and lost opportunities. There was a popular saying during the height of the violence in 2019: "no cutting off" (not be the best translation, but basically saying that every part of the movement must stick together, including the rioters and arsonists). Those purporting to support peaceful protests - from "pro-democracy" legislators, to university professors, to certain parts of the press, to tools like Joshua Wong - were actively supporting violence and with their eyes wide open, pushing the kids to the front lines. We had one high profile legislator telling the kids in a rally that your life can be more exciting with a criminal record. Destroying young lives for their own political gains.
It was inevitable that the Chinese government will clamp down hard on Hong Kong, especially with many of these legislators flying to Washington DC to meet with the likes of Pompeo, Hawley, Cruz, Rubio, etc etc to ask them to sanction Hong Kong and interfere in HK and China affairs. Not other country would stand for that, period.
