In this article on baidu, there is a gap between 1988 and 1999, why is there nothing about some kind of protest that everyone keeps telling me about?


Edit: Thank you for responding, you have taught me a great deal about the usage and necessity of propaganda, counter-propaganda and censorship in a Marxist-Leninist state like China. Although some relied upon lies and insults as a means of trying to win an argunent, I got actual contentful theoretical education out of this, thanks.

    This makes me lose faith in Marxism-Leninism by quite a bit, governments that cover up their “mistakes” and can’t admit them, do not govern in the interest of the people, only in the state’s.

      They’re not “covering up mistakes;” they’re stopping Western disinformation on the event (such as that it was a “massacre” of “peaceful” “anti-government” protestors)

      Other comrades can provide you links to our many threads on this subject.

        I am practicing democratic centralism here lol. But appareantly, criticism, that is based on facts, is not wanted here. Just “unity in debate, unity in action” hahah
