Shit is pretty bad in Iraq too. Remember when we destabilized that entire country then forgot about it.

The US government officially supports the Hong Kong protesters. And western media is all over this story for whatever reason. For a while I was getting near daily NYT breaking news alerts about Hong Kong

HK is a major financial hub, so there are probably a lot of large US companies who have an interrest in keeping it as it is. Ecuador is not that important from a cynical business perspective.

Also, "trouble in South America" isn't really news worthy. Business as usual, much like poor people in Africa. HK's image is that of a first world country, the protesters are good at raising awareness, and they are opposing what is probably the US biggest competitor.

More specifically, China is more important. This is all about China really, Hong Kong is the theater.
