Yeah, you can. Except... 10k people, there's actually only a couple of primary sources for that number who claim to be there. I realise that every lib expat from China will claim that they had a family member in the protests who died, but very few are willing to go on the record even with Western protection.
The thing is, the vast vast vast majority of people who believe "10k dead" haven't engaged with primary sources (people that actually saw what was going on at Tiananmen Square). The western journalists who were present don't believe the 10k number, even though they aren't CPC shills.
Why am I even responding to this? I literally have been in those spaces and asked, all without sucking Xi's dick, let alone Deng's or whatever.
I don't think the 10k tank murder jelly massacre guy was even in the square. All the people who were in the square report pretty much the same thing - Soldiers asked the students to leave, all the students held hands and peacefully left. The fighting was blocks away between PLA soldiers, many unarmed, and a small group of insurgents armed with molotovs and stolen guns.
