People can't even think of any other propaganda besides Tianamin Square lol
My conspiracy theory is that China does not care about Tianamin Square at all, because its just a focal point distraction from the real shit they bury.
Its basically a propaganda honeypot.
Is there anything more American than taking a moment to think and realizing, "Damn, fixation on Tienanmen Square seems like its designed to derail any kind of serious conversation about our respective countries" and then falling directly into the "Because the nefarious Chinese have tricked us!" mental trap.

It's like that "Conservatives have One Joke" meme.
it’s genuinely sad like there are ongoing attrocities both in china and around the globe that are also censored from various platforms and LLMs but my feed is just the same 2 “tests” repeated ad absurdum
What ongoing attrocities in china?

Buddy, you new to Chinese history? Kind of a meme the amount that die in civil wars and civil disobedience going back to 2000bc. But funny thing is, they stick to their own people, with their own people fighting back and their own people then getting killed. By no means perfect, good, or ideal, but better than mass murdering and couping others for your never ending thirst for oil and resources
Raping and torturing all those people in their country maybe I dunno. Uyghers is what they're called there? Just search China atrocious genocide and see what pops up.
Rigorous. It isn't like misinformation gets spread around uncritically ever.
I wouldn't either put much effort into what is clearly an attempt by a tankie to pretend China doesn't have ongoing atrocities.
I find it deeply ironic the west actively persecuted and demonizes Muslims yet when it comes to china they seem to care to deeply about the uguyrs. I'm well versed about the uguyrs, I've been to Xinjiang via Pakistan as a Muslim ethnic Punjabi. Uguyrs being persecuted is different from massacre and genocide. What America, Britain and France do Is well documented (not by these nations, but rather recordings and whatnot being spread online like Palestine and Sudan) but uguyrs there's nothing like that. By no means a honourable and utopian nature, but if you're gonna point fingers at china, first lol at your nation. Im ethnically Pakistani born in Scotland. I love Scotland and Pakistan but I'm also fully aware and transparent about their issues
Edit, also calling me a tankie, is like a right wing nut calling everything "woke" do you not see the literal hypocrisy you joke of a "liberal"
