I showed the photo of tankman to my Chinese stepson .... He had no idea ...
I've read a few accounts of chinese people coming to america completely ignorant of this incident. Govt censorship of history at its finest. I wonder if those on the left are already thinking about how to eliminate the american revolution and bill of rights (especially #2) out of every school curriculum in this country.

Around 17.00 one can see how brave the folks were . Few westerners know that there was a running gun battles in the city for like 3 days ... The average Chinese folks fighting the government.

Americans are addicted to the narcotic of rubber dogsh*t from China at big box stores and give their reprehensible human rights record a pass, all the while supporting the exporting of our manufacturing/tax base.
So Dingbat GW Bush was right pushing China/the WTO, sending our jobs to China, it will liberalize them,,,,right,,,,no, in fact they are becoming more authoritarian, Bush43 was wrong again, as usual.

This type of CIA inspired freedom uprising succeded in Russia. It destroyed their country and plunged it into multiple civil wars that go on to this day. Many who participated in it now regret it. They are not looked upon kindly. Economic reforms should have been instituted first, political reforms should have followed at slow pace.
China did it the right way and grew to be the second biggest economy.

At what cost in human lives.
At much lesser cost than what would have followed if Tiananmen Square revolt succeeded.

if i recall correctly only the people in the area ( city/town) of Tiananmen Square after this could talk about it .. it was banned to talk about over the rest of china
So I guess by the same principle the british would be fine shooting the revolutionaries because it would have saved lives.
And lenin and stalin could justify their murders by claiming it saved lives.
Here is a prediction: sooner or later the chinese will face a civil war. The cost in lives will be much greater than if the reforms advocated by the tiananmen square protests had succeeded.
Distabalizing countries doesn't save lives. Every time people rebelled against the government in this country, it was put down by violence, killing and imprisonment.

Except the first time when we threw the British out. That one worked pretty well.

We know what the formula is, we just don't follow it ourselves as well as we should.
The formula is freedom.
My point was about how U.S. government responds to what it promotes in other countries.
