    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

      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.

            Translate them and ctrl+f "june".

            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.

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

            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.

              You can guess it won't get banned, but can you show an example?
