If you’re not American I can understand not knowing, but on January 6, 2021, thousands of Trump supporters stormed the US Capital in an attempt to stop Joe Biden from becoming President.

There are a whole slew of people facing charges from seditious conspiracy to criminal trespassing, and nearly everything in between.

Jan 6, 2021*. The riots were a result of the 2020 elections which were held in November of 2020.

Edit: As pointed out, riot is too soft a term for what happened. It would be better termed insurrection/attempted coup.

In America that's when Trump supporters stormed the US Capital (building that houses the US legislative Parliments) after the 2021 presidential election.

WTF? Nothing in common; in one case a bunch of right wing Americans tried and failed to storm their government. In this case a bunch of foreign"diplomats" from a dictatorship tried to drag a protester into the grounds of their building to beat them.

China might think that current British political problems mean they can do that; British police think otherwise and they're the power on the ground here.
