China: US proves that Tiananmen Square massacre was necessary

'Most extreme response': China commentary roasts US over protests

China's state-run tabloid Global Times wrote on Wednesday ... that the US was preparing to commemorate Tiananmen in a "unique way" - by dispatching the military against protesters.

The US is proving the importance for China to restore order in 1989," Hu wrote.

Over the past week, Chinese officials and state media have revelled in drawing comparisons between the unrest in the US and last year's massive demonstrations in Hong Kong.

State media have been plastered with photos of crowds clashing with police, while officials called out Washington on its history of cheering anti-Beijing protests.

"Why did the US have so many problems with the restrained and civilised way of law enforcement by the Hong Kong police but have no problem at all with threatening to shoot at and mobilising the National Guard against its domestic protesters?" Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said on Monday.

"This double-standard way of behaving is so typical of the US," he added.
