There were both protestor deaths as well as PLA personnel deaths (which outnumbered protestor death, actually). But even the US diplomat who was present through the whole event said that there were riots and riot control, but not a massacre.
It's only almost 40 years later that the continuous lying about history has twisted people's perception of what actually happened.
Even American newspapers didn't call it a massacre until much later lmao. Probably because the evidence of many of the protestors meeting with American officials before the riots was readily available.
Thankfully, such protests/colour revolutions are impossible now in China, so no regime change can be carried out by the US
Pla deaths outnumbered protestor deaths? Jeez, what're you smoking? Even the Chinese govt didn't claim that. And why are you thankful that 'protests are impossible now'? Do you truly relish the political disenfranchisement of the populace so much? Smh my head
Yawn, try harder.
No, I relish watching imperialist ambitions crumble lol. I hope it happens in every country where the Western powers attempt a colour revolution. And I hope that people that collaborate with imperialist powers get executed for treason.
Idk whether you're ignorant or malicious, but materialism will always win :)
Imperialism is bound to implode. You can hate the CPC and wish for the people's revolution to fail, but in the end, it'll always win, because they've understood materialism. Conversely, it's inevitable that Western countries will implode and collapse because they can't survive without the exploitation of us third worlders.
Count your days buddy boy. When our time comes, we will make no apologies for the terror
Outstanding to me that my only actual claim -- that civilian humans were in fact killed during the infamous protests -- is one that you folks actually do accept, albeit reluctantly, but y'all still got your knickers in a twist and are ascribing all sorts of stereotypes to me in your head.
