Chinese state media says US demonstrations are ‘beautiful’ as it hits back at American support for Hong Kong protests

Chinese state and social media have been filled with reports highlighting the nationwide demonstrations against police brutality in the US and attacking American politicians who supported the Hong Kong protests.

State news agency Xinhua described the chaotic scenes as "Pelosi's beautiful landscape", a veiled reference to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's comments last year that the mass protests in Hong Kong were "a beautiful sight to behold".

State broadcaster CCTV on Saturday referred to the protest cities as "warzones" and produced round-the-clock updates and analyses highlighting the racial divide in the US.

The clashes in multiple cities were triggered by the death of George Floyd, 46, an African-American who died after being arrested by police in Minnesota.

His death was caught on camera and footage showed a white uniformed officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes as he repeatedly pleaded for his life, saying "I can't breathe".

His death triggered mass demonstrations that later turned into riots and looting in Minneapolis. A police precinct was burnt down and shops were vandalised.

The city is now under curfew while Chauvin has been arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter.

But "Black Lives Matter" demonstrations calling for an end of systemic racism have continued to spread to other cities including Atlanta, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York and Washington, where protests were held outside the White House.

The Chinese embassy in the US has issued a safety alert warning citizens to avoid protest hotspots.

"The Chinese embassy reminds Chinese citizens in the US to closely monitor the local security situation, stay alert to police notices over demonstrations, protests and possible riots and avoid travelling to dangerous areas," it said in a statement on Saturday.

"Chinese citizens operating stores and shops should remain vigilant and step up security measures,"

The Chinese communist party is peopled with the dumbest creatures on earth. Personally I think a lot of Chinese money is behind this.

Where the eff is Soros? Can some unmarked spec ops guys put him on an unmarked black flight to Hungary. Trump will need to write a sternly worded public note of protest.

Yes. The Chicoms, the Dems, the Soros people, the Alinsky playbook fans and young people who think “socialism” will pay them to sit home, get free food, go to free college, and get full health care-—all paid for 100% by OTHER people.

Fuuhhhggedddaboutit.

More than happy to do an even up trade with China. They take our ghetto rioters and we’ll take their Hong Kong rioters.

Is that supposed to be surprising?

I’m sure they’re enjoying their schadenfreude at our misery as much as we enjoy ours at their misery.

Human nature.

They’d all be machine gunned to death if they tried their schtick in China.

Seeing this article has made me wonder if China is funding some of these protests.

The Chinese embassy in the US has issued a safety alert warning citizens to avoid protest hotspots.

Is the Korean Embassy asking their nationals to prepare defensive positions and keep their skills sharp?

Let's hope this backfires on them on a massive scale! If the average Chinese citizen starts seeing all these riots, violence, burning buildings, etc., then they might decide it's time to start doing the same thing there.

"Raising awareness" works both ways!
