Mass surveillance and flagrant human rights violations are now """"political reasons."""" In other news, nothing happened at Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989.

Lots of things happened in the square at that time, as the Chinese government discussed on TV the following days. One thing that did not happen was people dying, though some were struck with batons to force them to disperse after they declined to follow the demand to disperse (most left peacefully).

Oh, those must have been massage tanks.

Redditors will believe anything that supports "China bad," even silly lies that were debunked decades ago. Here are some different testimonies from student leaders of the protests. You tell me what seems credible.
