You claimed that they were not fighting for anything, but there is a lot of evidence available with a quick search that shows they were fighting for democracy and civil rights that have been a part of Hong Kong life for a long time. That changed when the CCP started intervening in Hong Kong in aggressive ways, in violation of the treaty around Hong Kong.

As for violence, clearly, there is no comparison between the violence of the protesters and the violence of the Chinese government. The CCP is literally responsible for tens of millions of deaths. How can people focus on entrepreneurship when they’re facing the loss of basic freedoms and the threat of mass detention and death?
