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.

The authorities in the PRC are probably much better positioned than you are to decide what is in their interest to suppress.

As for the US, some people have fallen into a self soothing sense of hopelessness. Not everyone has. But worrying about the MOVE bombing probably is no where near the top of anyone's priority list right now. And it would seem very odd if it was.

When you type "we're hopeless" it is hard to see that meaning anything other than, you, personally, lack hope.
