I was 6 years old when this happened. We lived within couple km of the square. I remember trying to fall asleep in my grandma’s lap as sounds of what I thought were fire works going off in the distance.

Saw this at the FCC in Hong Kong this evening with Mike Chinoy. Fabulous documentary. Thank you to all who make this series possible.

Isn't that ironic. You have access to all information without having to use a VPN. Yet you fall for this obvious propaganda.

Where is the interview of the leader of the protestors with CNN the day before the crackdown happened? The one where she proclaimed that this was her revolution, that she was suffering because she had to hide the fact that she wanted this to be a bloodbath, and as been trying hard to push it to that degree, while calling anyone trying to diffuse the situation a traitor. The interview where she also said she won't die for this revolution, and will leave before the crackdown happens because she despised the Chinese people and they don't deserve her giving up her life. Didn't fit the narrative of these organizers being democracy heroes too well?

Numbers were also inflated as there was financial incentive to report every death possible as a COVID death. Roughly 50% of Chinese people do not have access to running water or electricity. Such freedom indeed. Freedom to have free education until college? Really? Chinese don’t pay taxes? Yeah, no guns. There’s never been mass killings with knives though. China has a much easier time with crime though because the country lacks any type of racial diversity and imprisons people in “re-education camps” the government considers “problematic.” It must be lovely being a Uighur Muslim in China, right? How does the state view anyone practicing religion publicly, for that matter? Don’t get me started on pollution, selfishness, and general disgusting behavior. China pollutes on levels that are criminal. Chinese people are like locusts - practicing no conservation and eating ANYTHING they can get their hands on. Personal hygiene? There is none, it’s revolting watching the people snot on the street, wipe their nose with their hands, and go about their business. You don’t have to fear lunatics with a gun, but in China you absolutely have to fear your child being snatched up for the slave trade or a woman being taken for the sex trade. Being forced to beg on behalf of the millions of homeless or drugged into a stupor to be raped for money? Yeah, China’s lovely all right. Leaders that deliver to the people? 🤣🤣🤣 Again, roughly 50% of China live without running water and electricity. I care as much for the Chinese as anyone should care for Nazis of 1940 Germany. I don’t care if China is a democracy. China is an abomination that engages in unparalleled human rights abuses, fraud, currency manipulation, environmental neglect, waste, etc. China is an example for the world of what NOT to do.

Really China lack racial diversity? China got 54 different ethnic groups, did you take a look at all of them? They all look alike to you? Sure instead of stopping mass killings by putting in re-education centers just do like in Europe or in America, let them walk around and eventually kill people. Freedom to stay alive is less important than individual freedom of crazy people? Yeah, China loves very much Uighurs and all minorities for the matter, that's why the one-child policy doesn't apply to minorities to ensure their culture will live on. China hates so much Uighurs that their population has doubled in 30 years. China hates so much minorities that they need to put in China's constitution that the communist party needs to protect the minorities, their cultures. China has all kinds of religious buildings all over the country, in fact, China got more than 24,300 in Xinjiang only in 2013, whereas in the US, there is 2,106 in 2010. So unless since then the US has built thousands of them, the country's oppression religion is not China. Pollution? I guess you don't want to talk about the 200 years of free pollution coming from America and Europe then.

Great video. The bit right at the end about the slight controversy regarding the validity of referring to it as ‘Tiananmen Square massacre’ , owing to the fact most, if not all of the killings actually took place in the streets adjacent to the square rather than the square itself, is interesting. While I certainly understand the guy’s point at 1:26:13 that it’s important to get the facts absolutely right, but can he really not see that this kind of pedantry over the name creates a perfect loophole for the Chinese government to use in their attemptsto try and cover the whole thing up, claiming things like “the PLA didn’t kill anyone in the square that night, the Tiananmen Square massacre is all just western propaganda” (exactly as the previous lady points out). Ultimately perpetuating a far bigger untruth that no massacre occurred in Beijing that night at all.

I'm not sure where you get your info from, but the government in China absolutely isn't pushing "nothing happened in Tiananmen Square" People in China absolutely knew that many people died on 4th June 1989 The difference between you and them, however, is that to your knowledge "pro democracy protestors" were massacred That is not the complete picture Again, as I said I have no idea where you're getting your information from, but you probably have no idea that Chinese soldiers were initially unarmed, sent in for crowd control work, and generally got along very well with the crowd It wasn't until the crowd turned unruly, killing unarmed soldiers and setting fire to their vehicles, that armed soldiers were finally sent in to restore peace Even then, most soldiers were only armed with non lethal weapons like batons And when things escalated and the shooting finally started, there were casualties on BOTH sides But of course you wouldn't know any of this, you wouldn't know that many Chinese soldiers lost their lives too in trying to restore peace

How come whenever there is American media and journalist working closely with US military attaché at Bejing Embassy there is Chinese students protesting against their own Chinese Communist party Government. The same Hong Kong students protesting against their own Communist party Government after British handover of Hong Kong to mainland Chinese Communist party Government in 1998 was all peaceful until the American journalists and media probably in close contact with US military attaché at Hong Kong embassy recently is another failed attempts by pro democracy US foreign interventions in China internal affairs. US Government's intervention to force democracy at the point of a gun has failed in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq as well so if a foreign country wanted democracy it will be local community initiatives rather than foreign countries such US military intervention imposing democracy even with conflict and bloodshed this was a failure in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq not forgetting Cuba and others etc.
