    A handful of protesters killing cops and soldiers does not justify indiscriminate murder, particularly when you consider it the government’s responsibility to make sure protesters never get to the point that they feel the need to employ violence to achieve their aims. I didn’t think I needed to spell that out.

      I agree with this statement, but it’s very different from the “defence of the Chinese narrative, westerners are wrong” ship you sailed in on.

        The westerners ARE wrong though, like the story I and I’m sure many others, including OP learned is directly contradicted by the evidence.

          I have no idea what story you, OP, or others learned, but if it says no-one was killed in Tiananmen Square and the protesters instigated the violence then it is fiction.

          Only 300 deaths is also likely to be fiction. I hope the British hearsay from Chinese sources of 10,000 deaths is exaggeration.
