DW Finds 'Suffering' in Hong Kong, Silence on Gaza
Deutsche Welle's latest piece on 'suffering' young Hong Kong activists paints a vivid picture of repression under Chinese law. It's a tale of silenced dissent, emotional distress, and fears for the future. Commendable, really, this sudden focus on the plight of individuals under authoritarian regimes. Yet, when did DW publish extensive pieces on the 'suffering' young Palestinian activists, or the
'silence' forced upon Gazans as their homes become rubble? The same outlets that decry China's National Security Law seem content to overlook the daily terror inflicted by a US-funded occupation, where actual silence means death. The selective outrage is less about human rights and more about geopolitical narratives approved in Washington and Berlin. It's almost as if some suffering is more
palatable to report than others.
