BEIJING (Reuters) – China drew a comparison on Thursday between the storming of the U.S. Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump and last year\u2019s often-violent pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, but noted that no one had died when demonstrators took over the legislature of the China-ruled city.<\/p>

Clips of the chaotic scenes from Washington aired repeatedly on Chinese state television.<\/p>\n

Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told a daily briefing said that while events in Hong Kong in 2019, when the city\u2019s legislature was stormed, were more \u201csevere\u201d than those in Washington, \u201cnot one demonstrator died\u201d.<\/p>\n

Relations between Beijing and Washington are at their worst in decades over a range of disputes, including China\u2019s heavy clampdown on Hong Kong, and Chinese diplomats and state media often draw attention to news of violence or chaos in the United States.<\/p>\n

Months of anti-government protests in Hong Kong in 2019 included the July 1 storming of the city\u2019s legislature, in a campaign for democratic reforms that Beijing ultimately quashed with new national security legislation. One man died after falling from a parking lot during one protest in the city.<\/p>\n

Police in Washington said four people died and 52 were arrested after Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday in an attempt to stop Congress from certifying President-elect Joe Biden\u2019s election victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also wish that U.S. people can enjoy peace, stability and security as soon as possible,\u201d Hua said.<\/p>\n

Hua also condemned U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo\u2019s comments in which he said Washington may sanction those involved in the arrest of over 50 people in Hong Kong and will send the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations to visit Taiwan.<\/p>\n

A comment with thousands of favourable votes on China\u2019s Twitter-like Weibo said the Washington protests were \u201cover 90%\u201d the same as those in Hong Kong. European leaders were showing \u201cdouble standards\u201d in condemning one but not the other, it said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe response and words used by some in the U.S. to what happened in Hong Kong in 2019 were completely different to what they used for today\u2019s ongoing events in the U.S.,\u201d Hua said.<\/p>\n

Around the world, leaders expressed shock and concern, condemning the attempted subversion of democracy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened today in Washington DC is not American, definitely,\u201d French President Emmanuel Macron said in a video message on Twitter.<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s deputy U.N. Ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy likened the images to protests in Ukraine that toppled Russian-backed President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovich in 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of my friends ask whether someone will distribute crackers to the protesters to echo the Victoria Nuland stunt,\u201d he tweeted, citing a 2013 visit to Ukraine when then-U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland offered food to protesters.<\/p>\n
