Storms of Protest in Washington and Hong Kong By Kim Petersen The coverage of groups of people, described as mobs, rioters, or protestors depending on one’s prejudice or adherence to accurate reporting, who “stormed” the Capitol in Washington and the Legislative Council in Hong Kong is revealing for how media and politicians react. The American media ran headlines such as: “Trump supporters storm Capitol,” “A pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol in Washington,” LA Times New York Times Chicago Tribune The “mob” was encouraged by the words of president Donald Trump.

Storms of Protest in Washington and Hong Kong

“A pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol in Washington,” LA Times New York Times Chicago Tribune State/corporate media headlines were similar in Canada and the UK. The “mob” was encouraged by the words of president Donald Trump. Included in the mob were extreme right-wingers and white-supremacist groups. Of note were the participation of the Falun Gong and Trump-supporting Tibetan sovereignists. The raising of the Tibetan flag at the Capitol Hill imbroglio caused “outrage and alarm” among some in the Tibetan online community. Imagine what would be the reaction if sovereigntist Hawai’i flags were raised in Beijing. CCTV surveillance, for which China is often criticized in the West, has led to some Capitol hill rioters being identified and losing their jobs.

China Has Reacted to the Storming of the U.S. Capitol by Comparing It to the Wrecking of Hong Kong s Legislature Time 1/11/2021 Amy Gunia / Hong Kong © Eduardo Leal/Bloomberg via Getty Images Demonstrators use hammers to break windows at the Legislative Council building during a protest in Hong Kong, China, on Monday, July 1, 2019. The storming of the Capitol by Trump supporters on Jan. 6 stunned the world and drew condemnation from politicians across the globe. In China, many watching the events in Washington D.C. immediately made comparisons to the violent occupation of Hong Kong’s legislature in mid-2019. Protests in Hong Kong, a special administrative region of China, began in June 2019 as a series of large-scale, peaceful demonstrations against an extradition bill that critics feared would be used by China as a weapon to silence dissenters. But the pro-democracy rallies quickly snowballed into an increasingly violent and destructive anti-government

Hong Kong activist: Democratic world has been weakened by riot at US Capitol

© Getty Pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong are speaking out against the violence that occurred at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, with one person calling it “a subversion of the will of the people by violence.” Lee Cheuk-yan, who organizes an annual vigil to remember the Tiananmen Square protests, said it was upsetting to see the Capitol attacked and watch efforts by President Trump “It’s very sad for us in Hong Kong to see mobs attacking Capitol Hill and trying to overthrow the election results. We in Hong Kong are fighting for a democracy in which everyone has a right to vote,” said Lee. “But when we look at the U.S., it’s now a subversion of the will of the people by violence.”
