    The people I have spoken to in China understand something happened, and most of them know that it was the suppression of a student protest movement. From there the knowledge diverges as to what kind of protest movement and how violent was the suppression and whether it was justified. My family will kind of halfheartedly repeat some version of the party line but acknowledge it was a fucked up situation, and they also understand that the censorship surrounding it is awkward and unnecessary.

    Generally the Chinese I have spoken to are mostly aware of and opposed to the CCP’s censorship, but they also don’t really like to talk about it for obvious reasons.

      That young and foolish people around the world get easily manipulated by Western propaganda should be clear to anyone by now. If those dumb kids got their Amerika slums and ghettos they so wished with that immitation of the statue of liberty, they would understand. But by then, they would have no way of going back to socialism. This is what the government tried to do and since they lost narrative supremacy, they used force. For the good of everyone.
