Beijing has long as American politicians, including Mrs Pelosi condemned the "glorification of violence" from the Hong Kong demonstrators are categorized by China as "rioters signs of terrorism".

protests have paralysed Hong Kong for most of the Last Year , to impose and Beijing to a new National Security law in the area in may, just Two Weeks before The Anniversary of the crackdown on the Tiananmen Square .

Social Media has always observed an imperfect window, China is the Public Opinion . His echo-chamber effect is exacerbated by the country's information censorship.

Prof Repnikova says that the relatively liberal views are marginalized, and perhaps even more, on Chinese Social Media , such as cyber-nationalism, a combination of bottom-up feelings, and top-down propaganda tactics will always be more dominant on the sides.

"The more aggressive, nationalist and vocal voices to take over the space," she says.
