The analysis of previously unseen images obtained by "Le Monde" and leading testimonies provide a better understanding of how the Chinese regime gradually shifted to the violent repression of the student demonstrations in the spring of 1989.
Spring 1989, Tiananmen Square. At the heart of the student demonstrations, a young expatriate, Nathalie Trouveroy, films the Beijing protesters, their slogans, their enthusiasm and their fear with her Hi8 video camera. These images, which remained in a family setting for a long time, are unpublished archives obtained by Le Monde.
Her husband, Guy Trouveroy, was then a political adviser at the Belgian Embassy in Beijing. For seven weeks, the couple were privileged witnesses to the regime's hesitation, torn between dialogue, obstruction and repression of the demonstrators. When the movement turns in favour of democratic measures, the communist government sends tanks against the population. On the night of 3-4 June 1989, the massacre took place. The repression would spread throughout China.
Since then, the Chinese authorities have been trying to erase Tiananmen from the collective memory. But, thirty-eight years later, Nathalie Trouveroy's never-before-seen video and photo archives have come to light. With these family images, the Trouveroy couple intend to preserve the memory of the victims of the bloody repression of the Tiananmen movement.
What? The yellow jackets protests went on for 2 years and the death toll was 11. The tiananmen square massacre went on for two days and the death toll was over 200 by the Chinese government's own admission, with the true figure likely in the thousands.
11, they didn't count cardiac arrest and respiratory arrest. They only counted media intensive cases. Some one counted the people hurted (I think it is in blast) and they got multiple hundreds. And that was with less lethal weapons.
I don't think hundreds were killed. I would need to see a source on that. The best count is 11 died, with another dozen max dying from medical issues during the protests. Again, this is over the course of two years, where the 1989 massacre happened during less than a week and 250-3000 people were killed
What about Sainte soline ? Did you watch video ? The protestor where receiving mortar and cops were caught targeting protestor heads for fun.
First of all, fuck the crs, and fuck Emmanuel Macrotte. I was tear gassed during the gilet jaune protests. Yes the French state has disgusting underhanded ways of dealing with protesters. Agents provocateurs, unchecked police violence, people maimed and blinded etc.
But, this wasn't a massacre followed by a cover up. Thousands did not die, only for the state to erase their lives from history. France did not kill as many, you are incorrect.
At Sainte Soline, cops shot to kill, screaming "FLAT SHOT!" about their grenade launchers, and about how they longed to destroy protestors. ACAB everywhere at all time
The bike brigade during yellow jackets was hunting and hit protestor and more if they were not white... People only seen BFM TV and though they seen all. People came back with broken member afraid to go to hospital since police was looking for people hurt on the day they attacked people. Crazy shit for two years.
Bots talking to each other
Lol, okey doomer.
I'm not the one trying to suggest that the CCP and the French govt are anywhere remotely similar - plus, do you even understand what doomer means?
