So let's recap: While Hong Kong dissidents face prosecution for their protests, BLM in the U.S. is widely cheered on. But most importantly, American protesters enjoy the freedom of speech and right to peaceful assembly - the very freedoms Hong Kongers are increasingly denied.

For Hong Kong activists, it is. They have to fight an uphill battle for the right to speak their minds freely.
Their courage in standing up to an oppressive regime and their cause in fighting for the most basic freedoms far outweighs that of BLM or other social justice groups in the West. If a protest movement like BLM is considered for the Nobel Prize, then Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement is the one that most deserves it.
