      +Joel Schembri CIA is behind the whole thing. Those so called leaders of the protestors were driven to US embassy every night and got trained in their. And they were taken to US before the military got involved. And those people are still live in US and paid by foundations supported by CIA. US thought it can bring down China as it did to the Soviet Union, but they weren't smart enough. They tried the same approach in Arabic several years ago. Look at what is currently happening in Syria and Egypt.

      Many people were run over by tanks and APC's during the protests, when they plowed their way through the crowds. Many more were shot or beaten to death. Many people outside of China confused "Tank Man" with one of those who were run over, or assumed that he suffered the same fate after hearing about it.
      Some soldiers defended the protestors, but they were quickly defeated. When the original soldiers sent in refused to harm the protestors, the government sent in another unit, one more elite and loyal to the communist regime. They were the one who did most of the killing. Soldiers fired automatic weapons into the crowds. There were even reports of soldiers raking apartment complexes with heavy machine gun fire.
      There was a report of tanks from different units fighting each other, and a damaged tank that was almost certainly hit by an antitank shell was seen being hauled from the site of the battle. Yes there may have been a small tank battle there... There were several reports of some soldiers defending the protestors, so maybe they died together, protecting them. That is very sad to me. The communist regime suppressed the death toll, which the Red Cross originally reported at over 2600.

      But showing the full video of tank man doesn't suit the narrative. Nor does showing photos and videos of all the dead PLA soldiers and burnt out tanks (some soldiers where set on fire inside the tanks and died), trucks and soldiers hanging from ropes off bridges from the 'peaceful' protesters. Now I'm no fan of the military nor the police but the narrative from the west has the smell of CIA operation to me. The story doesn't add up and US state department communication cables of the 1989 period said contrary to this videos narrative. Wikileaks also published a leaked document from the state department contrary to your western media narrative. China might handled it badly but its not clean cut the way its been propagandized by the west.

    My mom went to China about eight years ago and asked her tour guide about this issue. The guide basically let her know in quick whispered words that she knew what happened but wasn't at liberty to discuss it. She was the only one who knew about it, since my mom quietly asked the rest of the guides.
    I know the censorship is as bad as that, I just can't understand how they manage to keep it up after all these years.

    • @wolfferoni
      @wolfferoni 8 лет назад +6

      It's probably as a result of fear and the fact that the government has such tight control over the people. Still, I'm sure parents or grandparents of the generation know what happened and would tell their children about it. Then again, it could also be a fear and risk factor involved since children are likely to talk and one way or another it could get out. But with so many people and foreigners coming in and out all the time.. Same with the censorship, surely people would be suspicious of the censoring and how on one particular day, there would be extra measures to block specific word searches. Maybe they've just been so controlled their whole lives that they don't even question the actions of their government anymore. I wonder how the people react when they go to a different country and find out about this massacre and all the censorship. Would be pretty much life changing.

    The massacre had massive political impacts on china as a whole that extend to this day.
    1. Tiananmen is the major reason so many countries do not provide china with military equipment, even to this day.
    2. The massacre is the number one reason why Taiwan and China have not been unified, before the protests, Taiwan was considering unifying with China, but afterwards that changed.
    3. The love for china in the west disappeared, before the massacre there was an obsession with everything Chinese, but afterwards that changed.

    Heres what my parents said, they're chinese. When the massacre happened in '89, the media told them that there was a rebellion, but only soldiers died. They didn't mention how students and protestors were massacred. It was only until they left China for Canada, that they found out about how many people died (nobody actually believed that the government did nothing, they just didn't know the scale of it). They also told me that it's true most people in China don't know about the massacre, and it's illegal to tell others about it. So let's say a mother's child was killed, nobody would believe her and her child would be forgotten. It really pisses me off, all this censoring. I think I might make a video of me telling my grandparents about this and see their reaction. My parents say they still don't know about it. Should I do it?

Maybe not every detail.... but who does... USA exaggerates,,,, and look as USA now nothing but a lying pit from hell... And the Chinese are the most caring people, Give me Asia or Russia any time... Black is black and white is is white.
      ALSO they dont have facebook, or USA/WESTERN RUBBISH polluting their airwaves, and their minds, and I agree 100%.... My TV, Radio has been off for 10 years and I never ever bought a magazine or newspaper....and all I missed was western garbage.. and I live in the west.
      So remember the truth lies somewhere in the middle of all the stories. and remember every country has it secrets, even Canda, USA, Australia etc....

    I first knew this event when I was 16. My high school chemistry teacher got pissed off by our 'gullibility' when she found out we didn't hand in our homework because of a inadvertent false message telling us not to do so from a student representative. She yelled at as and said, 'you kids are so naive and easy to deceive, if June 4th happened all over again you would all rush into the streets without knowing you were instigated'. Then I looked up on Google to find out what exactly June 4th means... It's so sad that people now know so little about it, I don't agree 100% on the way western media describe the incident, but I hate how government ban us from even discussing it.

Saying things like "That guys a dumb ass", "you know they ran his ass over" "he's stupid for that" and other things like that. I thought different knowing what he was doing was right. Them not knowing the impact that The Tank Man had left on the world.

    First, the Western version of the Tiananmen incident was a combination of 2 "half true." The student protest and the crackdown were 2 different event. The crackdown was never aimed at students. The student protest ended peacefully, all students in TS went home safely, not a single shot fired in TS. Wikileaks: no bloodshed inside Tiananmen Square
    The crackdown was to put down a worker riot happened 3 miles away from the TS. The mob has been killing unarmed soldiers in the dozens, many burned to death, and some hanged on flyover. Over 3,000 wounded soldiers, vehicle arson, even civilian death. It was the mob that triggered the crackdown.
    The mob burned over 1,000 vehicles.
    Throwing Molotov cocktails
    Unarmed soldiers burned to death.
    Soldiers are people with family
    Peaceful protest??
    Soldier hanged on flyover
    These were the behaviors that triggered the crackdown. Do you see how ugly it is to skip this part of the story in the report? And combine it with the student protest.
    Some students and civilian FIGHT to save soldiers from the mob.
    This is why Deng Xiaoping crack down on the riot, NOT the Tiananmen Square protest, the Western media LIED.

      Actually, your country's military was very good at killing PLA soldiers during the Korean War. I believe there was a battle where all troops were ordered to withdraw, but the Filipino military stayed anyways, and with just 1000 or so soldiers and one .50 M2 HMG, they fought off tens of thousands of PLA. There were piles of dead communists. I'm just glad you guys were on our side! MacArthur said something about if he had 20,000 Filipino soldiers, that he could take over the world!
      My grandfather was a paratrooper for the US Army in the Korean War, 187th ARCT. Now I live in Korea with my Korean wife and kids. They probably wouldn't even exist without the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who came here. Thank God for the support of everyone who defended democracy here in Korea and elsewhere. I wish it could've ended better in China...
