US's double standard way out of line
Zhi

Some
US politicians left no stone unturned to find a way to restrain China. Their
recent activities in Hong Kong have not only exposed sheer hegemonism, but also
showed the world their out-of-line double standard.
The
escalating illegal violence has seriously undermined Hong Kong’s social order,
economy and people's life, distressing all residents who love Hong Kong and
China.
However,
certain US officials are still distorting the truth, calling the illegal
activities "peaceful demonstrations" and claiming that the Hong Kong
police repressed the protesters when they were actually enforcing the law in a
restrained manner.
Nancy
Pelosi, speaker of the US House of Representatives, repeatedly voiced her
support of violent rioters in Hong Kong, who disabled main roads, demolished
traffic lights, vandalized public property, hurled petrol bombs at police
officers, committed arson, and possessed offensive weapons in Hong Kong.
In
June, Pelosi called the demonstrations in Hong Kong "a beautiful sight to
behold", and in August, she made statements to support the protesters,
calling rioters "courageous".
Shortly
after Pelosi expressed support for the radicals, black-clad and masked
protestors damaged infrastructure and stores in the escalation of demonstrations
in Portland, Oregon, the US.
The
local police set up roadblocks on the streets and bridges and arrested at least
13 demonstrators. The US officials even considered defining the organizations
involved in the conflicts as terrorist organizations.
This
time, certain US politicians fell silent. They neither made irresponsible
remarks about how American police officers enforced the law, nor praised
violent acts as Pelosi had done.
This
is a full display of double standard adopted by certain US politicians, who are
accustomed to regarding violent activities taking place in their own country as
true violence that must be cracked down on and that in other countries are
merely a "sight".
It
is not just some American politicians who played double standard. Recently, US
social media Twitter and Facebook have removed a large number of accounts,
claiming that these accounts spread false news about Hong Kong demonstrations,
were unfavorable for the demonstrators and affected the legality of their
protests.
Twitter
and Facebook have exposed the US hypocrisy on free expression. Even many
foreign netizens have criticized the US social media's bald-faced suppression
of different opinions.
The
US claims to be a country with free speech. In that case, any remark that
doesn't violate the law should be protected. So which law in the US have these
accounts violated? Is the so-called freedom of speech only a privilege for
those who hold the same voice as the government? Are different opinions not
allowed to be expressed?
It
is evident that some politicians in the US applaud the Hong Kong radicals for
committing illegal violence, and attack the legal governance and solemn law
enforcement exercised by Hong Kong government and Hong Kong police.
Ignoring
the truth and telling lies, the US politicians used double standard to pursue
their own benefits. For those benefits, they exerted themselves to facilitate
color revolutions and provoke riots around the world. To satisfy their greed,
they twisted the facts and made slanderous remarks about other countries.
Hong
Kong is a special administrative region of China. Hong Kong affairs are purely
China’s internal affairs. No one will be more concerned about the future of
Hong Kong than the Chinese people.
The
double standard held by some US politicians can only reveal their sinister
intention of destabilizing Hong Kong in order to raise the wave against China.
We
sincerely advise these people to stop meddling in other countries’ internal
affairs. History will prove that they will only end up in failure if they have
a finger in every pie. It will never work to stir up "color
revolution" on China's Hong Kong.
