I’ve never seen such a huge story go down the memory hole, as this.
For a month, what was going on in Beijing gripped the world, now it barely gets a mention.
Up to today, the number of dead in that crackdown cannot be determined with accuracy. Some say as low as a few hundreds, other say it reached nearly 3,000.
Then we have this British report that claims 10,000 killed.
See here:
What I can’t believe is that we set it up with that same government within a few years to gift them more than a half century of technology knowing exactly how corrupt they were.
The story went down the rabbit hole the media created for it on purpose, because that story began to go against the myth the media was assigned to promote, the myth that western “opening” with the dictatorship in China, and “Liberalization of trade with China” would lead to political Liberalization in China.
That political Liberalization never happened and under the Communists is never going to happen, but the Tiananmen Square story will remain consigned to the media rabbit hole.
Sadly, the Deocrat Party admires and envies Red China, and the so-called “news” media is dominted by the Democrat Party.
I think 911 has gotten similar treatment but for different reasons. But you’re right.
