HK protests expose Western media bias

The protests in Hong Kong, largely led by a group of violence-prone students and people initially opposed to the extradition amendment bill - which has been withdrawn - have been going on for more than five months. The protesters have attacked Hong Kong police and ordinary residents alike, damaged public property, in fact, held the entire city to ransom.

While the Western media outlets and politicians blame the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region administration and the central government for the turmoil, it is these self-serving and finger-pointing media outlets and politicians who should be blamed for not only fueling the chaos in the SAR but also undermining relations between China and the United States.

On Tuesday, the US Senate unanimously passed the so-called Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019, which signifies direct US interference in Hong Kong's affairs and thus China's internal affairs.
