In order for more fair governance to come into existence people had to fight back. Sometimes, we just have to fight. The founding fathers of the United States got violent, and it was necessary.

If people in history did not get violent at some point we'd still have colonialism, slavery, kings rather than presidents and human liberties would still not be recognized. The law is only legitimate so long as its ethically correct. These people want their natural liberties as humans recognized, that's all.

As for the CCP, well, they might eventually get sanctioned by the US over it. I'm a fan of Real Vision the financial youtube channel and according to them China's economy is about to plummet. Their economy is already fucked by the tariffs, but if they get sanctioned on top of that their economy is really going in the shitter.

Right now, US democrats and republicans are majorily divided, but the one thing both sides are beginning to agree on is that presidential candidates are feeling pressure to be hard on China. Both Elizabeth Warren and Trump seek to appear tough on China because everyone from folks in the Fed to truck drivers want it.

China wants to appear strong but its economy is a house of cards. I think you underestimate how huge this Hong Kong crisis is. There are approximately 1,000,000 people protesting in Hong Kong and there's only 7.4 million people in Hong Kong. When that large of a percentage of the population is angry you have a serious and real revolution on your hands. China can't stop it, not without killing a million people, and if they do, the west will respond.
