• 1989 Tiananmen Square "Student Massacre" Was a Hoax

• There Was No "Tiananmen Square Massacre" - CBS News

*There was no massacre in Tiananmen Square. It had been evacuated and the fight between protestors and PLA soldiers occurred in surrounding areas. The CBS testimony says that the CPC denies the casualties in outer areas. This is incorrect, the mayor of Beijing had stated in a public report that around 200 people died including PLA soldiers.“According to the information we have so far gathered, more than 3,000 civilians were wounded and over 200, including 36 college students, died during the riot.” (p. 47).Xitong, Chen.

• "Tank Man" Full Footage

*Are we expected to believe that a group of tanks which had just got done driving over a supposed 10,000 people would stop for one man (and try to drive around him, which the man blocks), then let him get atop the tank, bang on it, and simply try to speak to him? The context of this famous image actually demonstrates the absurdity of the story [the Guardian (youtube.com/watch?v=FnAB5h3PUmU) cuts the later footage out as per].
