Chinese Politics Lecture 6: Tiananmen Square Protests

[@iwasjason]

Hey Prof. Truex, thanks for uploading these lectures! Given that my education on Chinese politics and history has been largely informal-news, Wikipedia, conversations with my Chinese friends-this course has been very helpful. A question: What happened to lecture 5?

[@nickshaffer8115]

I'm in the same boat. Many thanks to professor Truex for uploading what he did

Do we know why lecture 5 was taken down?

[@user-oh4rv1ui2j]

An excellent lecture. Obviously you are a bit 中国通. This is much better than the previous speaker, talking on thin air about Chinese government -NGO relationship.

Hi Professor, I really enjoy these classes, hope the rest of them can be uploaded!

may I ask where is lecture 5?

[@gfscfinance8866]

Discourage students from coming to class if they are sick, coughing,etc. It is disruptive to others in class

That one antisocial person coughing his guts out throughout the entire lecture 🙄

As a Chinese, it is sad that I learned most of our history abroad instead of in China.

[@oey5701]

Only modern history. This professor's description of ancient China is very wrong.

The history of china in the west is from the point of view of a pirate, describing the original owner of his booty. Most people don’t know china funded the United States at its infancy, acted as a bank through the richest man in china at the time, not the emperor.

[@elemenop718]

I don't see why people laugh at taxation without representation. It led to a whole war.

[@nicholascerda1937]

Anyone know the name of the documentary he keeps referencing?

[@RKarmaKill]

How many sick people coughing in the audience?

[@Jaredbuncher]

What I got from this is a surface understanding of china, formatted into a western mindset to try and explain away a policy of a state.

3:15 if theres no evidence as you said why would you assume a number of 100,000 ?? Its just a guess also i have been to china and no i dont get paid believe it not we're not brainwashed or paid we just love our country

[@texasforever7887]

Listen again. He said there is pretty solid evidence.

[@Davidtalksaboutstuff]
