Surely there's something strange about justifying China's actions as lawful
and for the protection of the country.
Most of the opression is totally against all sorts of
Human Rights, which apply to all humans, freedom fighters, terrorists,
criminals, rebels who ever.
Well, anything can be done "for the protection of the country." The fundamental question: should "the country" be protected? Also, does the ruling elite represent the country as a whole? Can an entire population be represented by a small group of rulers?

Of course, many of us know that China's government will only make things
worse.
