Also, remind me again what happened to their promise to allow Hong Kong to govern themselves without China interfering again? Yeah, nobody believes them on that front.
Anybody who lives around the South China Sea knows how untrustworthy China is when it comes to their imperialist ambition.

It’s not governing themselves if the CPC decides who they collaborate with. And your argument about police bring restrained is similar to how Israel supporters try to gaslight everyone how Israel is acting restrained against terrorists.
It’s an obviously overused tactic now to paint the students as the bad actor when they have every right to decide how their country is supposed to be run, given that they are the future of their country. Anytime a government cracks down on student protest, it’s never the government that is in the right.
So no, the world, especially China’s neighbours, doesn’t believe that China will let Taiwan to govern themselves. They’d only allow a puppet government to be in power, like they’re doing in Hong Kong.
