Tiananmen Square has become a litmus test for Chinese censorship, but in a way, it's revealing. The assumption is that access to this information could influence Chinese public opinion — that if people knew more, something might change. At the very least, there's a belief in that possibility.

Meanwhile, I can ask ChatGPT, "Tell me about the MOVE bombing of 1985," and get a detailed answer, yet nothing changes. Here in the US, we don’t even hold onto the hope that knowing the truth could make a difference. Unlike the Chinese, we're hopeless.

Thank you for posting this. The people who bring up Tiananmen Square do not have the best interest of the whole of the chinese people in mind so i tend to just avoid this sort of conversation. There are criticisms to be made of China, of course, but in a right wing capitalist context that has spent trillions of dollars dismantling other sovereign governments since WWII theres just no point.
