I have a Chinese room mate who yesterday showed me images/videos 'anti-protester'and exclaiming how he wanted to be part of. Note in the past and still continues to be against the Chinese government and expresses disapproval of them.
I found it very odd of him to side with the anti-protestors because 'I love China and these protestors hate Chinese'. I told him, the people of Hong Kong are protesting against the Chinese government and the government does not represent the people. He further added, "people in China love the government". "If people don't like the government, they can kick them out".
I told him I am pretty sure they can't because the regime is not communist but instead totalitarian. Even a month ago, he told you can't speak anything against the government even if you wanted to because of their "3 generation threat".
So your comment must be part I missed in my mind, the Chinese national who sympathize with the government here in the US shouldn't be protesting at all. The government they support, it is against any type of protest and unrest. Can it be said that pro-Chinese government individuals don't really have the right no matter which type of environment they live in?
