China has reportedly mocked the United States in what news reports have called critics description of the US double standards over Capitol chaos, in comparison to the same type of experience in Hong Kong in 2019.
According to the South China Morning Post's report, Chinese critics have accused the US of hypocrisy, in response to the storming of the Capitol on Wednesday.
However, the report shows that Chinese critics are wrong in their major view that the cause of the crisis in the US about the crisis in the US is a result of a deep divisions in the country, between people who benefited from globalization, and people who suffered from it. Although, there is a division between Trump administration's goal of America First against his administration's opponents criticism of the administration in favor of globalization.
"A wave of mockery erupted in China over the storming of the Capitol with Chinese and commenters comparing it with the anti government protests in Hong Kong., the report noted. The report also noted how the protesters stormed the Capitol; ejected from the Capitol, the police said they found two pipe bombs, and how one woman who tried to break through a barricade was shot and later died in the hospital. The report did not death of the other three casualties who reportedly died from medical emergencies.
The report noted how the Hong Kong began peacefully but later turned violent. The report shows the Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman, Hua Chunying, said "the storming of the Hong Kong legislature was more severe than the events in Washington but there were no fatalities among the protesters." The report further describes how the US main stream media has described Trump supporters as mobs, and had earlier described the storming of the Hong Kong legislature as beautiful.
"Hua was referring to the US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s comments about mass demonstrations in June 2019 in Hong Kong as a “beautiful sight to behold”. The protests were mostly peaceful at that time but the term has since become part of the Chinese rhetorical phrase book. Hua said that by hailing Hong Kong protesters as heroes and pledging to “stand with them” while taking a different position and using different labels to actions in the United States “deserves our serious contemplation”, adding that China still hoped the US could restore peace, stability and safety."
