China’s government is doing itself a disservice by demanding that Hong Kong’s citizens bow before their sovereign, while blaming “outside hostile forces” for spurring some kind of unconstitutional rebellion. Instead, it should focus on the problems created by the chief executives that it chose for the wrong reasons, and it should resolve the underlying governance problems that the demonstrations reflect.
中国政府要求香港公民屈服于主权，同时谴责“外部敌对势力”煽动违反宪法的暴乱，这只能适得其反。相反，中国政府应该专注于其出于错误理由选择的行政长官所造成的问题，并且应该解决示威所反映的根本性治理问题。
