What I've heard from PRC nationals in the US is that the CIA is behind the "riots". I'm assuming this is the narrative being pushed by the state-run media in the PRC.

Definitely, pretty much from day one the PRC has been accusing the CIA and MI6 for inciting the "riots" designed to hurt the feelings of Chinese people.

The same way Russians stirred our elections right?

Both of you are Han Chinese, judging by your post history, correct? While this may be intellectually hostile for you, it's certainly intellectually stimulating, and helpful to the people in your country who aren't of the ethnic majority (and to people of the ethnic majority outside of your country, in places like Taiwan, that your government desires to claim so strongly).

No, I am not. I am a white man living in Western Europe. Yet another time, you are wrong.

Half of your posts are in broken English, and your broken English isn't consistent with any language I'm aware of popular in Western Europe.

Your probably not familiar with all the langauges of Western Europe, and, in any case, a white man living in Western Europe need not be a native speaker or any language of Western Europe (they could, e.g., be a native of Eastern Europe now living in Western Europe.)

When you refer to some resources, you'll have great responsibility to check their factuality (especially for this kind of sensitive topic), otherwise, you are wasting your efforts on making your points and the reader's time for reading and even worse misleading the audience largely.

Personally I'm biased in favour of rights. If HK ruled over China I'd be in favour of Chinese independence. I want Beijing to have universal suffrage just as much as I want the Cantonese to.

Most protesters don't want HK independence, they simply want universal suffrage which was guaranteed by the CCP in the 1997 joint declaration. But the CCP has failed their promise and almost half of the seats in the HK legislature are chosen by "functional constituencies" that do not represent the people. Of course the CCP has labeled these people as "separatists" to attract domestic hatred towards the protesters, an…

I am not sure you are telling the full story. It seems to me different sides have different interpretations w.r.t the 'universal suffrage' as in the joint declaration.

Ah, yes. Because someone convicted of a crime going to jail is the same thing as someone being sent to a camp due to their religion. Equating the issues in the US justice system to concentration camps is ridiculous.

Ah yes, my mistake, you only lock up convicted criminals, let's review that claim for a moment. Here's a visual: https://www.washingtonpost.com/resizer/uKLej0KwcfGN583uqvyfQ... Source: Bureau of Justice Statistics I've noticed a massive apathy amongst Chinese towards Xinjiang, the vast majority don't care and think they deserve it. Perhaps you have a lot more in common than you think. Both countries have horrendous r…

I grew up in Jiangsu province of China. I heard some very nice stories about people in Xinjiang from my neighbours who had worked in Xinjiang for some time. I also heard some very bad stories about certain group of people from Xinjiang. It's hard to agree with you that 'a massive apathy amongst Chinese towards Xinjiang' --- as an ordinary Chinese, I want a peaceful country, and no terrorists, and I love diversity.
