    Only that while an atrocity clearly occurred, you’re one of many with false memories about the event. It’s a clear example of the propagation of a false narrative and it’s okay to acknowledge that. People are literally swearing they saw footage which doesn’t exist, and their response is “so what it I’m completely wrong, China is still bad”. At the very least, that’s interesting.

      What false narrative?? I’ve never heard anyone claim that all the violence and killing happened only directly on the square, what a bizarre counter claim that changes nothing lol

        Really, I hear that all the time! Along with the guy in front of the tanks being run down, human paste down the drains, 10,000 deaths, etc. It’s disingenuous of you to act otherwise, this and other threads on the subject are full of people under this impression. The truth is bad enough!

          Don’t discount the 30 millions lives lost that day.
