        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.

          All it would take to prove me wrong is to show me Chinese social media talking about the event.

            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.
