    It's not a trivial gripe because it's primarily about how the deaths occurred. There were armed guerrillas attacking and lynching PLA soldiers, and the soldiers attacked and killed in return. It was legitimate self-defense on behalf of the PLA.

    The lie is that the thousands of unarmed, innocent, student protesters who had gathered publicly in the square were mowed down, because the evil commie Chinese have no respect for human life and wanted to crush dissent. That's what most Americans visualize when they hear "Tienanmen Square Massacre", thanks to propaganda. The truth is that the square emptied out peacefully, and the total fatalities from both sides were about 200. The PLA acted far more restrained on that day than any US troops or cops would have.

        Wikipedia is a fuck.

        When you say “lynching”, what exactly do you mean?

            The violence was not done in response to the lynchings so much as the lynchings were simply a part of the violence. There was a legit battle. The AP reported at the time that "Rival military units battle in Beijing." The CIA had armed rebels in an attempt to foment a colour revolution, as they are wont to do.
