And Beijing does precisely that - it is identifying and stopping fake news and the extremist, hostile, vile ideological infiltration and attacks. And it does it in a 'mild way', because China's 'censorship' is nowhere as advanced and brutal as that in the West. This, the rioters, also refuse to acknowledge!

Individuals in Hong Kong who are disrupting city's life while insulting their motherland are stuck in their little world of selfish preoccupations and self-interests. Again, they were conditioned to feel and think this way.
They are totally lacking knowledge; the global context.
The entire world is waking up, condemning barbaric killing of Mr. George Floyd by a group of deranged racist cops in Minneapolis. People on all continents are symbolically connecting that murder to the countless horrible events committed by the Western imperialism during more than 500 years. But many young kids in Hong Kong, including the one who wrote to me an email, are mainly preoccupied with their social media; their little fragmented universes of mobile phone, tablets and "me-me-me spaces".
As world is boiling, the rioters look increasingly ridiculous and irrelevant.
Global priority now is to save billion of human beings who cannot breathe under the booth of Western imperialism. But it appears that the Hong Kong rioters, who are conditioned to fight against their own country over a few petty privileges, will never understand what is really happening in Minneapolis, and in fact, all over the world!
