Uh huh.
Well why don't we ask DeepSeek for more information about it?
Your argument got fully dismantled with evidence and all you have is a bad comeback.
Click the link and check the pictures. Is that a peaceful protest?
I never said it was peaceful, but that doesn't validate State violence.
So you're just going to ignore reality? The fact that you can't look it up on Chinese media? The DeepSeek comment wasn't a bad comeback, it was the evidence you can see with your eyes, man.
True
State violence should not be validated
A recent mainstream example would be the Jan 6 protests in USAmerica. The protest about concerns regarding the legitamacy of the USA's elections was maligned as domestic terrorism and a coup-attempt by some, right?
A protestor got fatally shot and killed by the state appartus.
CW: Suicide
4 police officers involved who were involved in the suppression took their own lives too. Likely due to strain they faced from the state appartus.

Whether peaceful protests are allowed is a basic litmus for any modern democracy. All these incidents show how democratic checks and balances are required to discourage the violent arm of the state.
Would this be an example of how it could be seen in different pov's?

I do oppose state violence, but I doubt Western narratives too.
