But they now say nothing at all happened?
They already outed themselves as one of the CCP's "50 cent army" by referring to Tiananmen Square as "western propaganda". No point engaging with them, at least beyond calling them out for being a shill.
I watched it semi-live back in 1989 on the very same day as our first free-ish elections in Poland, but I guess I must have hallucinated and really nothing at all happened.
There were some weird times. Like we were still allied to Saddam's Iraq and family friend was an engineer working there but it was our version of Glasnost already and so I've seen some Iranian footage of gassed civilians on uncensored news before my parents kicked me out and I still remember this scene.
Few years later just as Yugoslavia really kicked in they showed corpses streaming down a river and I was really shocked how it was all happening here in Europe now (again). There were still Soviet occupation troops here, except they were now Russian. They were really fucking slow to go. When they did leave they left extremely contaminated zones behind (chemically, radiologically, some of it still not cleaned up) just to be dicks.
I called Tiananmen Square "western propaganda" because it's propaganda and it's from the west.
They say most of the deaths were PLA soldiers, and that's probably true. They gloss over the foreign workers killed in the fighting, but that's still a lot closer to reality than the western narrative of thousands of students being slaughtered. Yeah, CCP's position is white washed, but the western position has nothing to do with reality at all.
