If you think that the US is doing this for the protesters, I have a defense contract to sell you. This is in retaliation for China breaking international agreements.

Is that really relevant?

I mean, HKers are getting screwed by a massively totalitarian and oppressive regime. Why is the interest of a third party relevant to the Chinese regime's devastation of Hong Kong?

A thing can be for more than one reason at once.

Of course the US wouldn't have done this had it been against the US' interests.
