Tiananmen Square Massacre (1989)

Tiananmen Square, in the heart of the Chinese capital Beijing, has been a place of enormous significance in modern Chinese history.
For seven weeks in the spring and early summer of 1989, it was the focus of unparalleled protests by students and workers against the political and economic system, leading to a brutal government crackdown and international condemnation of the communist regime.

Does that happen? People aren't naturally brutal like this, you have to pay them to do it. Given some military obedience training and military pay most will shoot into a crowd of their own citizens when told too.

[@nikolatasev4948]

@@CodyAdams-pf9un It's not often, but it happens from time to time. Famous examples are the French and Russian Revolutions. A more modern example was in 1989 in Romania, where the military mostly sided with the rebels and against the Communist Party and its leader Ceaușescu. In general, the people can not win against the government while the military stays loyal. If the military is split, or steps aside, then revolutions can succeed. Usually that happens when the army loses faith in the government due to severe economic suffering, sometimes with a military defeat. Another thing - the Tianmen protest was among the first the first in a large wave of protests against Communist governments. If it had happened a few years later, after the Soviet Union, along with a ton of other Communist Parties, then the protesters may have been more confident, and the soldiers more hesitant. But in june 1989 I think none had fallen yet, and it gave the CCP a sense of security.

It goes far beyond pretending.. they actively try to erase their steps and part of their 1000000+ people in re-education camps that're being brainwashed as I type this are also punished if any of them looked up such things on the internet or asked about it to a "friend" that reported on them. Due to their social credit system rolling out, people are keeping tabs on eachother and those that report mishaps get points essentially for rating out friends. They get angry and will cancel trade deals if foreign governments even speak out about it. They're doing the same thing to Hong Kong now. They demanded prior to the G20 summit that no country shall mention anything to do with the Hong Kong protest. Not a single country brought it up. Not one. Should that country have been of the Western world, China and others would have made it a point to bring it up. They would have made the biggest deal out of "demands" and you'd see headlines saying "China defies Western hegemony" but no country shall defy China, except perhaps for the United States. I think the whole "pretend" thing is an extremely ignorant soft handed slap to the realities of the Chinese government.

It was either that or condemned and sanction the CCP. Trust me this event is tragic and the response frustrating but people in '89 would've prefer not to get into another war-- or get into a war against a stronger regional power.
