    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.
