Making college campuses as hostages and bargain chips for certain demand is (insert_name) behavior.
A lot better than taking hostage an entire city I guess ?

200 bus routes cancelled as Hong Kong pro-democracy protest intensifies
London, Sep 29 (ANI): Thousands of people protesting against China's decision to vet candidates in Hong Kong's 2017 elections have refused to budge from the government complex in Hong Kong for another day, despite appeals to leave, a report said.malaysia.news.yahoo.com
Rule #1 in international politics, there's no such thing as good or bad let alone authoritarianism.
Countries react to events and escalate accordingly towards their perceived threat. For the Chinese having a million or so potential foreign agent like the one we see in Hong Kong, demand Beijing to crack down on protests forcibly. For the U.S., the mere sit down while chanting the shout 'free Palestine' and 'from the river to the sea' demands the U.S. to deploy the national guard + snipers on top of buildings + excess use of physical force.
So there's no such thing as 'free' or 'authoritarian' society. The actions of a country will depend on the issue and situation. And what they perceive as a redline will be guaranteed different.
The U.S. and the West spent billions trying to portray democracy as the only option, For them democracy = good = civilized = deserve support, even though it has nothing to do with such. Thank god events around the world are proving this wrong, democracy as we can see is no different than any secular political system that comes out from the West (Fascism, Socialism, Communism, etc). It's just they're so good at cosmetics.
I mean if you don't mind...lol
