    Tiananmen Square definitely isn't one of the most famous and highly visited tourist locations in China, no siree.

      Don't tell these libs that otherwise they'll call you a Chinese bot or that you are working for them Xi bucks.

        I had a history teacher once say that when they visited the PRC they where banned from saying Tianamen Square. All I could think was, "Then how do I say where I want to go to see the flag raising ceremony"

        Also allegedly barred from saying the word "Tibet"

          i hate libs. like seriously, i can guarantee HUNDREDS of millions of people say Tian'anmen square daily. how could the CPC enforce that? arresting like 1/3 of their population for saying the name of a street?

            They're projecting. They're imaging the petty things they'd like to ban to control and humiliate their political opponents and then applying that same deranged behavior to people of an entirely different culture.

            In lib world, they would definitely arrest huge swaths of the poeple daily (or at least try to) for frivolous bullshit which is, for some reason, of huge importance to them. The difference is that they think they could actually be effective in doing so and that those primitive Chinese people are just too inherently inept and weak to achieve the desired result.

          If you try to apply logic to a lib-brain then all you get is some cosmic horror damaging your psyche.

    Why do they believe that a massacre can be covered up and people will just go with it? Why do they think conspiracies can be covered up so much that there is no evidence and then cite the lack of evidence as some sort of evidence.

      Because westerners aren't taught how to analyse information or how to understand basic logic. We're trained to jump to ridiculous conclusions and assume the worst about the enemy at all times.

      Because it happens here. There are dozens of Kent State style massacres that have been utterly forgotten because they didn't involve white people.

      The copypasta literally includes "Winnie the Pooh", it's a joke. There are things that get removed from Chinese social media but random location names aren't it.

    I'm sure the Chinese government has no other important thing to do and is just wasting resources on this, to troll superior western liberals
