• Thirty-six years on, Beijing still has not disclosed the official death toll of the bloody crackdown on a pro-democracy gathering on June 4, when more than 1 million protesters were in the square.

    Why are you lying ABC? Wikipedia lists the official death toll as 241.

    Anyone who has used rednote for over an hour knows Chinese people are:

    1. Aware of Tiananmen Square
    2. Able to acknowledge it as a tragedy
    3. Fully allowed to share that information

      Anyone that has used rednote for more than 5 minutes knows that the Chinese people are actually pretty cool and welcoming and friendly to foreigners on their app.

      And they also know for absolute fucking sure that the Chinese government has an absolute strangle hold on all the information that goes through there and your post about anything that shuts a negative light on the government would be immediately removed.

      Of course, US social media companies are starting to act the same way about anything that’s not maga agenda. Shit’s getting censored right left and left as violent, while there are no limits on the amount of anti-gay, anti-gaza, anti-trans, anti-minority hatespeech.

        No it’s not, and finding out for yourself would be extremely easy if you cared to put even a little effort in

          They saw people typing Tiananmen Square and not showing any result and took it as the truth.

          Why would chinese people discuss the event or share pics of the place using the ENGLISH name instead of the chinese one? Thought process too complex…
