    I think the downvotes are because the post implies that the Chinese did not kill anyone, when hundreds were murdered. What became of tank man is unknown, but it’s clear he wasn’t killed by one of those tanks.

          Are you being sarcastic?

          Because, and anyone correct me if I’m wrong,
          most people here know that what happened during the Tianenmen square insurrection was:

          1. Soldiers, mostly the army choir, are ordered to come unarmed and clear the square after months of students protesting in favor of Usonian state-backed exploitative economic teachings.
          2. 100+ Soldiers killed, mostly the army choir, by insurrectionists at a road adjacent to the square.
          3. Remaining army choir soldiers lead the protesters away through song from the square.
          4. 20+ Insurrectionists killed, as armed soldiers arrived and a battle broke out, on the same road.
          5. 100+ protesters killed, as a chaotic indirect consequence of the earlier insurrectionists’ actions, at a train station miles away.
          6. Tanks arrive at the square to prevent further escalation.
          7. Tanks leave the square as situation deescalated and tank man blocks the tanks for a while, then leaves, on the same road again.

          These insurrectionists went a lot further than the Usonian Jan 6th protest mostly known as the “Freedom Plaza massacre” where “peaceful protesters” entered the capitol building in order to “stop election fraud” where “perhaps 10s of thousands civilian lives were killed as US security opened fire at these peaceful protesters”, because unlike CIA-backed insurrectionists, these “peaceful protesters” were ordered by their higher ups to leave immediately instead of being encouraged to block the US army from arriving at Capitol Hill or attack the US army for that matter.

            Do you have a source for your estimate of deaths? 100+ is very ambiguous since it includes any number >100, which seems already beyond contention.
