Tiananmen Square Massacre – Facts, Fiction and Propaganda
“As far as can be determined from the available evidence, NO ONE DIED that night in Tiananmen Square.”
CBS NEWS: “We saw no bodies, injured people, ambulances or medical personnel — in short, nothing to even suggest, let alone prove, that a “massacre” had occurred in [Tiananmen Square]” — thus wrote CBS News reporter Richard Roth.

REUTERS: Graham Earnshaw was in the Tiananmen Square on the night of June 3. He didn’t leave the square until the morning of June 4th. He wrote in his memoir that the military came, negotiated with the students and made everyone (including himself) leave peacefully; and that nobody died in the square.
But did people die in China? Yes, about 200-300 people died in clashes in various parts of Beijing, around June 4 — and about half of those who died were soldiers and cops.

My biggest take when that happened was the bravery of that “shopping bag” guy standing up to a tank.
This lie was meant to put heroism and resistance down the rabbit hole.
