I met a Chinese person once that I tried to feel them out about this. The only opinion they seemed to have about tiananmen square is that it is beautiful. Mind boggling.
It's not really unique to China though, here in France we had literal massacres happen in Paris that most people know nothing about. Stuff like the Tulsa Race Massacre is also not that well known in the US either.
I mean there's always gonna be some atrocity you're unaware of. The difference is in one place you Google it and find out about it, the other you Baidu it and get put on a list.
