Not that it is not worrying that peaceful protesters are arrested but but 2 months are just roughly 4 times two weeks while Hong Kong's population (7.35 million) is just 1/45th of the US population (333 million).
I think it would be more accurate to look at the size of the protests, because not the entire population is out protesting.
Is there anything more liberal than pearl clutching about property damage when your regime is actively participating a literal genocide.
That is so much like a precision air strike on a home, you must be devastated. I’m so sorry for your loss.
