With all due respect I think it has more to do with the protestors in the USA being seen as a great yellow journalism topic to be encouraged via propaganda then the grandstanding politicians weigh in as if they are smart enough to say anything vs in China they just shoot the protestors.
Naturally in the USA the protestors are a major PR problem, and in China they merely slightly drive ammunition sales.
