I can’t say that exactly because I don’t know Mandarin. I think a bit over 200 deaths occurred as a result of armed conflict between the Chinese military and rebels (also armed) in the streets outside the square. The total death toll includes both sides of the armed conflict as well about 40 students and some innocent bystanders. Nothing in the square and no tanks crushing people (Have you watched the tankman video?).
Obviously it’s still not great, for many reasons, but it’s also not the indiscriminate bloodbath western media makes it out to be.
I linked this elsewhere here, but I like how this article lays out the facts as far as can be known and includes the months leading up to that awful night.
What is the official CCP opinion on that happened in Tianm. SQ.?
Were any student protestors brutalized by military personel with tanks?
