West's meddling in HK root cause of violence

Following the vandalizing of Hong Kong's legislature on Monday, Britain's Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt urged the city's authorities to understand the root causes of what happened which according to him was a deep-seated concern by people in Hong Kong that their basic freedoms are under attack.

Laying aside the facts that under the discriminatory British colonial rule the majority of Hong Kong's residents never enjoyed the freedoms they do today and that there was no right to take to the streets, and that Britain no longer has any responsibility for the governance of Hong Kong or any supervisory rights, let's do as he urged and look at the root causes of the violent protests.

Which is simply that the ideologues in Western governments never cease in their efforts to engineer unrest against governments that are not to their liking, even though their actions have caused misery and chaos in country after country in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
