Chinese Internet users have given themselves to their hearts content after the invasion of the Capitol by rioters supporting Donald Trump on Wednesday.

They were careful to recall the reactions of American leaders at the time, Democrat Nancy Pelosi speaking of "a magnificent vision", reports the

Internet users insisted that violence had been committed by Hong Kong protesters.
A feeling of "revenge" on the part of the Chinese
Nancy Pelosi's office on Capitol Hill has also been overrun by pro-Trump insurgents.
“Pelosi can enjoy the magnificent vision from his office,” commented one internet user.
“Politicians in the United States have called rioters in other countries 'freedom fighters' for so long.
Here is their punishment!
"
On Weibo, Internet users criticized American officials who spoke of the "courage" of Hong Kong protesters at the time.
Others expressed their feeling of "revenge" at the chaotic scenes filmed in Washington, speaking of "the return of karma".
“This is the first political coup to occur on the American continent without the intervention of a United States embassy,” joked a user of social networks.
Shen Yi, a Chinese scholar specializing in international relations, judged the reactions of Internet users to be representative of "the sincere and real feelings of the Chinese."
