    Ok I understand better now and you’re still wrong it’s taught as part of the mandatory outline of China’s modern history at university.

    三、中国特色社会主义事业的继续推进 (一)1989年政治风波的发生与平息 风波形成的原因:腐败现象的出现、人民群众的不满、党在工作中的失误、敌对势力的破坏 风波平息后的总结:稳定非常重要;“一个中心、两个基本点”不能动摇;要时刻注意纠正失误;不能屈服于外来压力

      The “history” you will be taught in that course won’t include the reports of the journalists who were there at the time and whose film was confiscated. The famous tank man picture only survived because the journalist who took that picture hid it in a toilet.

        And the “history” of the event you were taught was a fantasy cooked up by McCarthyist acolytes to spread atrocity propaganda. Also as I pointed out to the Canadian lib he’s famous because who he is and what he did are completely reframed in the west as some sacrificial martyr jumping Infront of tanks (generally with the implication that he was ran over) whereas in reality he was a random man who wanted the tanks to return to the square and was ushered off by passers by not really a revolutionary figure or particularly relevant to the event as a whole. You people are so insufferably arrogant your vision and imagination must be reality.

        Also it’s not “will be” it’s “was” past tense I have completed my university time and it was a fairly good course going over the failures of the government leading to unrest and how it was exploited by outside agitators. But anything short of pure hatred of all the “enemies” of the west will never be enough for you people.

      I stand corrected, you can learn about it through official channels. I did not attend Chinese university. However, its mention is filtered by the firewall.

        That’s also not how the firewall works. It’s an IP/domain/protocol blacklist not a keyword censoring tool.

          Do you disagree that sources discussing it it are deliberately blocked?

            Many likely are but I disagree on it generally being the reason. Most places are blocked due to the Chinese law requirement of having servers in China to operate in China.

              I do think it is deliberate. Before Wikipedia was blocked, you specifically could not visit the page on Tiananmen Square.

                I’m going to be entirely honest here so please don’t take this the wrong way but no one here could give less of a fuck about western propoganda and their ridiculous exaggerations and views of events being censored. If anything the west could benefit from stronger censorship of the many Hitlerite views that gain traction over their like double genocide theory, the great replacement etc.

                  No worries, honest difference of opinion. I think open discourse is helpful for overcoming bigotry.

                    Yeah open discourse did wonders for the Rohingya, for vaccinations in SEA etc. you really are completely detached from reality.
