in 1 second
(1) Very interesting reading - where Chile Presidents declare "State of Emergency" in just 1 day of violent protest in Chile - and Chile Army is given full emergency power to take control to quell the protest.

(2) HK violent protest has gone on for 4 months with no end in sight - and yet full emergency power is not declared to quell the protest.

(3) The West say nothing - to Chile declare of emergency power to quell the unrest.

(4) But the West is quick to pounce on China and HK - eg. US is acting on Human Right and Democracy Act to sanction China and HK if stronger measures are taken to quell the unrest.

(5) The West also say nothing when Indonesia, India, Spain, Thailand etc undertake stronger military and police foces to quell unrest ---- but undue attention are focus on HK.

(6) So US and the West underlying intent to contain China development ---- is becoming very obvious.

now
HK should take a page from Chile - on how the President handle and quell the unrest :-
Chile unrest
Context :-
(1) The unrest started as a fare-dodging protest against the hike in metro ticket prices.
(2) At least 16 buses were torched and a dozen metro stations totally destroyed. All the 164 stations where many gates and turnstiles were destroyed.
(3) Protestors clashed with riot police in several parts of the capital and the subway system was shut after attacks on stations in some of the worst violence the city has seen in years.
(4) 133 people had been arrested for causing damage to metro stations, estimated at up to 500 million peso ($700,000).

Emergency Order measures :-
(1) President declared a state of emergency after 1st day of violence.
(2) President appointed Major General Javier Iturriaga del Campo as head of national defence, in accordance with the provisions of our state of emergency legislation.
(3) "The objective of this state of emergency is very simple but very profound: To ensure public order and peace for the inhabitants of Santiago,"
(4) The state of emergency is initially for 15 days and restricts freedom of movement and assembly.
(5) General Iturriaga said the military would patrol major trouble spots in the city of seven million but would not impose a curfew at present.
"We are not going to restrict any personal freedom for now,"
