DISINFO: Hong Kong is destroyed with the technology of colour revolutions
SUMMARY
It is clear that Hong Kong is destroyed in order to poison China. It is destroyed with the technology of colour revolutions. But China managed to work out the antidote. After all, everyone understands how colour revolutions work.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative claiming that Hong Kong protests are supported and funded by US and/or by other Western states. The pro-Kremlin media frequently use disinformation narratives about popular protests allegedly incited and funded by the US around the world, including colour revolutions in post-Soviet states, the “Arab Spring” uprisings, Euromaidan in Ukraine, protests in Catalonia and others. There is no evidence that protests in Hong Kong are funded and organised by the US or any other Western governments. The protests in Hong Kong started in June 2019 when hundreds of thousands of people protested against a legislative proposal that would have allowed extraditions to mainland China. Protesters demanded electoral reforms and an independent investigation into police violence. A few weeks ago China's parliament approved controversial Hong Kong national security law that threatens to limit freedoms in the semi-autonomous state. The move will bypass Hong Kong's internal legislature to punish acts that subvert state power. For further background see here. See earlier disinformation cases claiming that the Hong Kong protests are the West’s revenge on China for not waging war against Russia, that the U.S. uses all colour revolution technologies in Hong Kong to destabilise China, and that Britain and US are organising the protests in Hong Kong.
