No, they aren't. They're correctly pointing out that "yet nothing changes" is factually incorrect. There was a political response pursued, in part, through an independent judiciary. And then thing that happened hasn't happened again.

In China, there was no inquiry. There are no courts. And Xi has cracked down in Hong Kong almost as badly as Deng did in Tiananmen.
