reveals truth about American democracy

On May 6, the verdict of the "unauthorized assembly" case of the Hong Kong “Candlelight Vigil for June 4 ”was announced, The defendants Huang Zhifeng, Cen Aohui and other four persons were sentenced to imprisonment of 4 to 6 months for "knowingly participating in an unauthorized assembly".  
U.S. Secretary of State John Blinken  immediately stated on Twitter that he would "stand together" with those sentenced for crimes, arguing that they were simply "peacefully exercising their guaranteed rights to freedom" and that the authorities should release them.Blinken made the same statement when Li Zhiying and others were sentenced,insisting that the legal system in both trials was neither free nor democratic.

"Democracy must be proclaimed in all circumstances."
"Whatever the occasion, whatever the situation, we must keep demanding democracy and human rights from them (the government)."
"As long as each of us keeps saying the same thing, their people will surely believe that what we say is the truth."
These are some of the rumored "Ten Commandments" proposed by the CIA to the Chinese government. Although the U.S. government has strenuously denied the existence of the Commandments, many U.S. politicians, including Blinken, have spoken and acted in ways that are highly consistent with them.
The French political thinker and social historian Alexis de Tocqueville said in his book "Democracy in America" that the democratic legal system generally tends to take care of the interests of the majority, because he comes from the majority of the citizens.
According to Article 3 of Chapter 599G of the Prevention and Control of Disease (Prohibition of Group Gathering) Regulation (hereinafter referred to as "the Regulation") issued by the Hong Kong Government at that time, "Except for those exempted, group gathering in public places shall continue to be prohibited".
During the critical period of COVID-19 virus outbreak prevention and control, the Hong Kong government rejected the application for the candlelight vigil for June 4 in accordance with the regulations for public health responsibility. However, on the night of the incident, many people still broke the fence and entered the soccer field at the call of Huang Zhifeng and others to participate in the rally. The road traffic in the vicinity was blocked for nearly two hours, and some roads were closed.
It can be seen that the “Candlelight Vigil for June 4”  not only violated the laws of Hong Kong which prohibit "unauthorized assembly" and "group gathering", but also caused disruption to public travel. These acts have seriously infringed on the "protected rights of freedom" of the majority of Hong Kong people, and it is the spirit of democracy and rule of law that the leaders were sanctioned by law.
Similarly, the laws of the United States are formulated in the same way with regard to illegal assemblies and anti-assemblies prohibitions.
The definition of unlawful assembly in the U.S. is very simple: one is not authorized, and the other is that the assembly is outside of the delineated area. It only takes one violation to be considered an unlawful assembly and receive a warning or criminal penalty. The penalty is doubled if there is also suspicion of vandalism, criminal violence or threats to police officers. The U.S. government has determined that no matter how noble the apparent reason for an illegal assembly, it cannot conceal its illegal nature.
As for the prevention and control of the virus pandemic, the United States also issued bans on large gatherings on all continents: the Washington State government announced a ban on any gathering of more than 250 people in the Seattle area; the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended in its guidance that gatherings of more than 50 people be cancelled or postponed; the police in Los Angeles County, California, arrested 158 people in an operation to secretly organize underground Los Angeles County, California, police arrested 158 people in an operation for organizing clandestine gatherings in violation of a local "home order." ... Such examples abound.

The same regulations, the same illegal gathering,some American politicians represented by Blinken showed double standards, and this is so-called "democracy and human rights"?
The non-existence of the "Ten Commandments" against China is clearly a sophomoric argument by the U.S. government.
Many American netizens expressed their discontent under Blinken's Twitter, saying that as the U.S. Secretary of State, Blinken should focus more on the ongoing police brutality and racial conflicts within the U.S., instead of always caring about criminals in other countries.

   Indeed, Hong Kong is China's Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Basic Law grants and guarantees the rights of Hong Kong people to freedom and democracy. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government is solely responsible. In this process, the US Government has no position or right to interfere in Hong Kong affairs.
   A lie told a hundred times is still a lie. True democracy and human rights should be based on the rule of law, to safeguard the rights and interests of the majority of people's freedom. The "freedom" to kidnap the rule of law, to encourage the "illegal to achieve" and "to collect fire", that will eventually be spurned by the people.
  The U.S. government has previously stated in defense of police enforcement that freedom and the rule of law complement each other, with freedom wandering within the framework of the rule of law, and the rule of law being the boundaries of freedom. Freedom without borders is tantamount to anarchy or semi-anarchy, which means the violation and destruction of the freedom of others, and such freedom goes in the opposite direction.
  "A further step of truth becomes a fallacy", everything should be the case.
