It has grown faster, smarter and increasingly invisible, quietly erasing the memory of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre from public view.
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.
Historians estimate that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) killed anywhere from 200 to several thousand people that day.
Good idea. I’ll check it out myself.
In strong opposition to “left wing extremism is as bad as right wing extremism” western propaganda and thought stopping clichés are absolutely as bad as chinese ones if not worse.
The difference is, everyone knows that china oppresses criticism, while people say that their capitalfascist “democracies” would somehow be better.
Capitalism needs to go, first and foremost.
