Exactly! Everyone in the Tiananmen Square Massacre, 1989 can attest to that. The Chi-Coms killed between 250 to 7,000 people. There where actually hundreds of thousands involved in the demonstrations.
Even after this gross display of brutal dictatorial power, Bill Clinton felt free to take illegal campaign dollars and push for ‘Most Favored Nation Status’ for this human rights abusive regime. Normalization of trade between the U.S. and China has had a significantly negative effect on the industrial base of this country and the wages of the American workers.

George HW Bush sent Brent Scowcroft secretly to Beijing within a month of the massacre to assure the Communists that the US still supported them.

Nixon is the one who initially started talks with China.

I remember the Red Cross focusing in on a figure of 2,800 +/- 40... Must have been quite a number of bits and pieces.
I doubt the kind of country troops used to quell Beijing in 1989 would demonstrate greater sympathy for the crowd in Hong Kong.
