incredible. using the arrest of two canadian spies (yes, we know they're spies, otherwise the canadian govt would never have paid them millions in a settlement when they got back to canada) as proof that chinese police are monsters.
maybe dont do spying?
not to mention that china arrested these two spies in response to canada arresting a chinese business person for no reason except that the US asked them to.
On top of that using the Hong Kong the riots where rioters decided to kill and maim their police and then demanded not to be prosecuted because they wanted complete immunity for their vandalism as they wanted to spite their government for a law introduced to jail a murderer of a young Taiwanese woman because the ugly young man couldn't handle a breakup. Not because they thought the murderer was innocent, but because they despised the fact that the vast majority of today's immigrants from mainland China that arrive in Hong Kong do not see them themselves as refugees like a generation before, but as equals or more in touch with their homeland than the isolated Anglo-Americanized Hong Kongers who saw themselves as elevated above the rest of China and a lot of these newcomers started to work as government officials like the police or railway, which is why they also kept setting metro stations on fire.
