They know of Tiamen square. I wouldn't say they know about it. They just see a guy in front of a tank and then go "oooo, brave, standing up to the CeceePee."
I hate to be that guy, but it’s tiananmen. 天 = tian =heaven, 安 = an = peace, 门 = men = gate. 天安门。
never apologise for being a pedant, you love to see it
I'm American. That's my excuse.
Sadly, I am also trapped in this pisspot with ya, I just also happen to have learned a bit of Chinese over the last year, and proposed in front of Chairman Mao in tiananmen when I was there, so I am pretty intimately aware of how to spell it lol
