The Chinese don't even live in the same world we do. Most don't even know the Tiananmen protest and massacre even occurred. If you showed a picture of Tank Man to an average Chinese citizen they wouldn't know what it was. They are kept so in the dark.

Every living, breathing human being has their limit. If you look through China's history, you'll see they had plenty of revolts, just like every other civilization that has ever existed.

It certainly is interesting how the Puppet Regime in DC has had no comment on this whatsoever.

Using that same logic of past history, Mao killed 10-20million or more and they didn't revolt.

That was the end result of a revolt. The commies won. Just like in Russia. Following years of hardship and instability, the people of those places actually demanded stronger centralized control and management. If it is the will of the people, you cannot stop it. But it doesn't mean those people will always want or tolerate it.


Technically, the Chicoms never finished the job since Taiwan is still holding out.

I dont know people got all excited after Tianamin Square which didn't turn out to be much with Tank Man probably being executed.

The fact his fate is not actually known shows how far the Chinese will go to cover up all reminders of revolution or disobedience. No one disobeys or is not happy in communist China, move along.

The best way to bring freedom to China is to beam in free, unrestricted internet access.
