The uprising started with lynchings of PLA Soldiers though.

If you got run over by a tank in those protests it's because you were a CIA funded liberal counter-revolutionary trying to lynch PLA soldiers because a CIA agent had chanted "freedom" into your ear long enough you were riled up to murder so China could be opened for Western corporations like USSR.

Here's a PLA soldier, hanged and burned by CIA funded protestors

130 CIA paid for protestors, propagandists and instigators were rat-lined to the US after it failed

There were only 200 deaths and half of those were PLA soldiers. It was a low level skirmish with some panicky, untrained troops responding to a bunch of brainwashed, Western infatuated dickheads

Let’s go back to those photos of the burning buses. The popular view is that they were torched by angry protesters after the shooting began. In fact they were torched before. The evidence? Reports of charred corpses being strung up beneath overpasses (one photographed by Reuters remains unpublished), and photos of badly burned soldiers seeking shelter in nearby houses. Soldiers in that kind of situation tend to go out with guns blazing – just ask the good citizens of Fallujah, Iraq.
