According to Ruth J Blakeley, Professor of Politics and International Relations at the University of Sheffield, state terrorism is defined as "the illegal targeting of individuals that the state has a duty to protect in order to instill fear in a target audience beyond the direct victim".
The Hong Kong Police has been publicly endorsed by the Chinese Government and local Hong Kong government in carrying out random violent attacks against peaceful protesters and innocent bystanders indiscriminately. The goal of the attacks, as announced by the two governments, is to install fear against anyone who dares to protest against government policies.
There are also plenty of video evidence that the Hong Kong Police colluded with local gangs in carrying out multiple attacks.
Unless you disagree with Professor Blakeley's definition of state terrorism, the deteriorating situation in Hong Kong falls under such definition, and the white terror as a result is already having a chilling effect among local residents.
