2m out of 7.5m showed up to protest the loss of Hong Kong Sovereignty, that’s more than 1 in 4 of the entire pop

The storming of the capital was by a crowd of a couple thousand in a pop of 350m. So something like .0057% of the entire pop

In response to the HK protests individuals running for democratic office were thrown in jail on abstract and vague clauses from the new National Security Law, which coincidentally is a treaty violation to the original Sino-British agreement

In response to the Capitol riots, Trump lost his Twitter and Parler was shut down by private tech companies

It’s not the same.
