BEIJING - Chinese state media has been revelling in days of chaotic protests in the United States and highlighting President Donald Trump’s threat to use troops, even as the anniversary looms of its own military crackdown on demonstrators 31 years ago.
Last year’s Hong Kong protests, which sometimes turned violent, prompted Beijing last month to announce it would impose national security legislation on the former British colony. The June 4 anniversary of the shooting by troops of student demonstrators in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square in 1989, which rights groups and witnesses say may have killed thousands, is not publicly observed in the mainland and state media rarely mentions it in Chinese.“China has shown patience toward the Hong Kong riots,” the Global Times wrote in an editorial, citing the security legislation as key to resolving the issue there.
China has long been criticised by the United States and others over human rights, including its treatment of Tibetans and ethnic Uighur Muslims.
