The clampdown came as China angrily rejected calls for a review of the 1989 crackdown in which hundreds, possibly thousands, of people were killed.

The West like to call it massacre because it suits their goal to enslave Chinese and prevent them from moving up the chain, so they can have their toys at slave labor wages.

They called the genocide of Native American: "Manifest destiny" or the Enslave men of African American: "Liberating savages".

It is how they works. Someday they will have to look into the mirror and they won't like what they see.

Here is a "confession" by Xiaoping Li

After the government made one after another concession to the students’ demands, on May 27, 1989, a coalition of the student leaders and supporting workers and intellectuals agreed that the students would leave Tiananmen Square on May 30 so that they could, as student leader Wang Dang had long advocated, continue to pursue grassroots democracy on campuses.




But radical student leaders changed their minds and decided to stay on. One of them was Commander-in-Chief Chai Ling, who confided to an American journalist: “what we are actually hoping for is bloodshed, for the moment when the government has no choice but to brazenly butcher the people… I can't say all this to my fellow students. I can't tell them straight out that we must use our blood and our lives to call on the people to rise up.”

“Are you going to stay in the Square yourself?” asked the interviewer.

“No, I won’t.”

“Why?”

“… I want to live.”

There was no massacre, it is a myth.

If the truth is so pleasant, then why doesn't the PRC simply allow open discussion of the truth?
