FACT: India's handling of the current SIR protests in Delhi is exponentially more cruel, autocratic, and oppressive than China's response to the 2019 HK protests, and it's not even close. Back then, the anti-China pro-US rioters were getting away with literally destroying and setting fire to public property, firebombing police stations, stabbing police officers, throwing smoke bombs and molotov cocktails, and more. And this went on for months on end. And the HK Police STILL showed remarkable restraint. They literally absorbed blows from the rioters but still didn't push back. Not a *single* death was caused by the police. Indeed it was the rioters who actually killed at least one civilian. Meanwhile in Delhi today, the protests are ~100% peaceful - and just look at the state response. People including women are being beaten up. Protestors are being unlawfully detained, including while gathering in a crowd of four in some areas. Protesters are being taken to unknown locations en masse in buses. The internet has been suspended. At least 57 metro stations have been closed. Countless trains have been cancelled. Many people are literally being blocked from entering Delhi at major entry points. Prominent activists are being picked up from their homes. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. All this for a protest movement that was almost entirely peaceful, with barely a single act of violence. If even a fraction of the 2019 HK violence occurred in India, we would witness hundreds of casualties within hours. Literally the army would be deployed, just like in the "democratic" USA. So the "authoritarian" Chinese regime showed exponentially more restraint in its Special Administrative Region, despite the most extreme levels of western-sponsored protests - while the "democracy" next door is cracking down with much more cruelty even for much smaller and more harmless protests. This is India's "democracy". China trembles at the power of India's freedoms.
