"A beautiful sight": the Chinese about anarchy and unrest in the United States

21

Residents of China reacted to anarchy and unrest in the city of Minneapolis (USA), writes the Chinese daily Huanqiu Shibao (Global Times).

Because Americans ’protest in Minnesota reminded them of the 2019 Hong Kong riots against police action, many Chinese netizens called it“ a spectacular sight. ” Indeed, that is exactly what the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, called what was happening then in Hong Kong. The Chinese ridiculed the double standards of the Americans and wished for more "beautiful shows" by the United States.




Riots in Minneapolis started after a policeman on May 25, 2020 strangled black man. A day after the incident, riots broke out. Angry crowds burst into stores and set fire to buildings. On May 28, they burned down a police station, and law enforcement officers used tear gas against protesters. The mayor declared a state of emergency, and Minnesota sent more than 500 National Guard fighters to Minneapolis. On May 29, US President Donald Trump called the protesters "thugs" and threatened them with "executions."


Photos and videos of the fires, as well as police using tear gas, spread across Chinese social networks. Many users sarcastically joked about US double standards. In their view, China can now do in Hong Kong what the American authorities in Minneapolis will do. At the same time, Washington has no right to criticize Beijing for suppressing Hong Kong protests.


Chinese users called on Hong Kong residents to look at the United States, whom they asked for help a year ago, and some demanded to call the US ambassador and give him a note of protest or even put what was happening in Minneapolis on the agenda of the UN Security Council.

      Now, if Yanukovych had not been afraid to disperse the Maidan in Kiev in December 2013, as the United States is doing now, everything would be quiet in Ukraine.

      - Yes, well, cunning and quirky ... - this America (or rather the USA) ... - Due to cheap Negro riots, I decided to defuse the situation so simply ... - And again, get out of the water ... - Here such a deft America ...
      - And the Americans themselves finally got a real opportunity to test Trump ... - "for lice" ... and "for the ability" to take harsh measures ... with shooting (if necessary) ... - And finally find out ...- more or less ...- who is Trump ...- And can he be entrusted with the presidency again ...
      - And then Trump constantly - whirled, spun like a pitchfork ... - all avoided any "forceful methods" and open "massacres" ... - But, no matter how Trump was spinning ... - still he got into something from which I constantly tried to escape ...
      - Well ... - just that "American moment of truth" has come; when it becomes clear - is Trump able to cope with the current situation and turn it around and ... and ... and ... and become the president of the United States again; or Trump's time to retire - "babysit the grandchildren" ...

      All this nonsense. Here in Brovary, near Kiev, there was a more serious disassembly. More than 50 shots and not a single victim. Here's how.

      All progressive humanity should condemn the actions of the American dictatorship, which is not proportionally using force against peaceful protesters, and demand that the punitive operation be stopped. It's just cruelty, look at the protesters, they are children.
