Why does it say nothing about the 1989 protests on Tiananmen Square, Beijing? (lemmygrad.ml)

In this article on baidu, there is a gap between 1988 and 1999, why is there nothing about some kind of protest that everyone keeps telling me about?

Edit: Thank you for responding, you have taught me a great deal about the usage and necessity of propaganda, counter-propaganda and censorship in a Marxist-Leninist state like China. Although some relied upon lies and insults as a means of trying to win an argunent, I got actual contentful theoretical education out of this, thanks.

Here is a (once again high level) Party summary of the circumstances surrounding the event, and some actions taken including the clearing of Tiananmen square on the morning of the 4th of June.

Articles I turn up since then appear to simply repudiate the USA's position on the events without further substantiating China's own. This is perhaps an oversight on China's behalf to 'set the record straight' with readily accessible information online. I hope you turn up more information in your research.
