    The CPC publicly makes statements about the Tian’anmen massacre, it isn’t as censored as people believe it to be in the west.

    You should hate South Korea more than China then, considering more people are estimated by the west to have been slaughtered by the state in Gwangju than in Tian’anmen.

    Nobody thinks it was a good thing that people were massacred.

      Dude, I literally ran a Firefox plugin at one time that gave me the “Great Firewall of China” experience. But just in case, I went over to Baidu and did a search and here’s the official story you speak of (and the only one told in the search results): https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/opinion/2011-07/14/content_12898720.htm

      The article does not address how many people were killed or even whether violence occurred.

      I would call those results to be censorship.

      Edit: I don’t like the South Korean state either, but not more or less, just different. I’m not here to say which state is more morally justified than another, even when they’re at end stage capitalism.
