If it cannot get its way, its solution is to hire hooligans to beat people up.” He had been living in Hong Kong at the time and following the attacks he vowed to leave stating “People in Hong Kong used peaceful means at street events to express their views, but the Chinese government used cruel means of suppression, including beatings.
