When it comes to rapid domestic development and global ascendance, there is hardly any parallel to what China has achieved over the past decade. In a poll conducted by the Global Times Research Center in 2012, over half of foreign respondents viewed China as a
the people who "look down on the West" have increased to 41.7 percent
You know what, maybe I am being reactionary on this. I have just never seen a good source that shows that people in the PRC can't talk about 1989 Tiananmen square stuff online. I would be open to reading if you have something. I would still say, I dont know how it related to them talking about riots in the US in 2020. Them saying there are never riots isn't way out there if the last big one was over 30 years ago.
Looking it up in the dictionary to try to own someone and still getting it wrong, lol.
I'd be happy to teach you the meaning if you'd have even the slightest bit of humility rather than acting like a baby with some pitiful :reddit-logo:-tier trolling.
You have severe reddit brain if you think the Chinese dont know or arent able to talk about it. They are also rightfully on the side that despite excessive violence taking place the outcome of not allowing it to become a larger color revolution was the correct call.
Oh no chinese liberals arent allowed to post supportive things over a failed color revolution that the entire west is pushing as a propaganda point against the CPC who cares
Searches for it are generally heavily filtered within sites themselves, likely intended to prevent research into the topic. But if you use the right direct searches with external sites you can find a few posts.
Is there filtering that posts mentioning it go through first? Maybe? Impossible to verify without first hand good-faith use of the services as a regular user. Most social media sites are probably very harsh with new accounts that exhibit any unusual behaviour just like reddit and facebook are so verification is probably difficult, in particular because their services will be on the lookout for any would-be CIA attempts to set up networks of accounts to manipulate social media like they did on Twitter against Cuba last year.
well i would guess that wont get banned most likely. If someone makes some post on weibo on "lets talk about the Tianamen square protests and their suppression" or posts a "man stands in front of tank in Tiananmen square 1989 " that will get deleted i would guess or even more so mass reported from the Chinese people themselves that see how extremely much that topic is used as a propaganda tool in the west as opposed to how much indiferent and settled it is in Chinese people minds so they will see it as an attempt to create chaos and sow discord. But still i dont really know , im not Chinese and im not deep in chinese social media . They might meme about it on We Chat all the time and i wouldnt know
and even still it doesnt register in peoples mind as something remotely equivalent as American Protests of millions overall split in every big city. They are a 1.5 billion people nation and it was a riot-protest of a much smaller scale mainly in one city 40 years ago. It probably wouldnt cross their mind when typing "riots like this dont happen here when reaction to the US unrest and social instability and chaos.
Sure, they know what happened. The view is that the Party protected them from dangerous radicals who had no idea what they were going to do after their revolution. How were they planning on housing, clothing, caring for a billion people? None of them thought that far ahead.
Moreover they were just students, in Beijing. If you know anything about China you know that what happens in Beijing has nothing to do with the rest of China. It's like when that cop in Hong Kong shot several protesters, his commands to them before opening fire are so popular that they're on T-shirts and internet stickers.
I know all that already. My only point was that there aren't "never riots," and they can't bring that up online. On the whole, some censorship and repression is worth the better quality of life for Chinese people, I think.
Come on man. Yes there was a western color revolution contingent. But more stuff happened then that. Did the protestors just give up and go home after killing a couple soldiers? How were they dispersed.
Critical support means you have to be critical. (edit: I should say think critically)
Chinese people know protestors died and even if they dont love that they generaly judge that the suppression was the correct call especially after dozens of PLA soldiers got murked mot just a couple. Yeah a couple hundreds of protestors,armed by that point, died as well , chinese people know that . So whats the issue and what is to be critical off? That China doesnt allow public posts celebrating or siding with the color revolution or that Chinese people simply dont care 1/10th as much as redditors ?
The issue is simply that keywords related to the event are filtered automatically. Like I'm not even saying it's 100% bad necessarily, just quipping how their censorship works. I can see why you all have a kneejerk reaction tho, considering the western media campaign against China.
These are both faulty sources in the first place as they both claim a massacre occurred in the square itself when no such thing happened. The deaths that occurred were in battles in numerous different side streets where skirmishes occurred several miles apart.
A couple deaths did occur in the square -- unarmed officers sent to negotiate who were hung by protesters and burned alive. CW extreme images - https://i.imgur.com/mctpk8M.png https://i.imgur.com/mRkv7e4.png
You know it's funny when he says that we are sidestepping on answering whether people in China are allowed to talk about it or not when
He assumed they aren't
His whole argument is that they aren't better for criticizing the US which is weird to defend
He didn't bother reading what I posted
He already assumed that a massacre happened which he would know more about if he had bothered to read what I linked.
From now on, I am not going to engage with bad faith redditors and simply call them western crackers.
I did read what you posted, and I showed you photos of shot civilians. I never asserted that I'm only talking about what happened in the square, I never even said "massacre."
If they are allowed to talk about it on social media than show me examples.
PLA soldiers turned off the lights, entered the square, turned on the lights, and then told everyone they were acceding to demands and request that they leave the square immediately. The protestors left while singing The Internationale and waving red flags, holding up pictures of Mao.
Why are all these civilians ducking for cover? Did this man's brain explode from singing the Internationale? https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/g36621881/tiananmen-square-massacre-photos/?slide=10
There are photographs. What "corrections" am I deflecting? You are being blindly chauvinist.
If I were being as blindly chauvinist as you, I'd be like, "the US did everything correctly at Kent State. The students left Kent State holding hands and singing Kumbaya and no one was shot."
I said it was PARTLY a color revolution. There were many groups there for different reasons. Like people opposed to liberalization of the markets, and economic strife that could hurt a lot of Chinese people.

Love coming to hexbear for reddit comments.

Yes, critizing the surely very deeply researched view of "they aren't allowed to talk about 1989" is equivalent to thinking China is a perfect utopia.

It is hard to find sources that aren't western-biased, but it seems like Weibo and other platforms do filter out keywords related to the event.

All it would take to prove me wrong is to show me Chinese social media talking about the event.
Take your chauvinist shit elsewhere
a person displaying aggressive or exaggerated patriotism.
Sounds like u

You should take you're own advice.

Can they post about it without consequence? Even if they justify it?
Yes. It's taught in fucking schools as the "July Fourth Incident".
Ok but can you post about it or do keywords related to the event get filtered?
Searches for it are generally heavily filtered within sites themselves, likely intended to prevent research into the topic. But if you use the right direct searches with external sites you can find a few posts.

Oh no my posting!
Could we be having this conversation on a Hexbear based in China? I just want a straight answer. Y'all seem to be dodging and making excuses.

That's not at all what I'm talking about. Just show me Chinese social media posts mentioning the event. Should be easy if you say it's 100%.

People died. It kinda is important.

Post what exactly ?
Like if one guys says, "we never have riots like that here." Then, someone else replies, "well not since 1989."

Ok so are Chinese social media posts about it you can show me?

Because nothing happened in 1989 other than pro western protestors killing the Chinese army personnel

Can you bring it up online in China even if you side against the color revolution? Does that pan with "riots never happen here."

Where are you reading about the protestors getting disposed? Why are you supporting western propaganda?

I just picked those sites for the photos.
PLA soldiers turned off the lights, entered the square, turned on the lights, and then told everyone they were acceding to demands and request that they leave the square immediately. The protestors left while singing The Internationale and waving red flags, holding up pictures of Mao.

You say you believe it was a color revolution yet you are acting contrary to that supposed belief. :soviet-hmm:
No nuance allowed huh. With us or against us. Gotta pretend like nobody got shot.
Ah yes the nuance of blindly repeating Western chauvinist propaganda and deflecting whenever someone corrects you.
