That’s the most hilarious part. It isn’t censored in China at all. They just call it a different name and gullible westerners assume that the blank looks Chinese people give them when they froth at the mouth about “The tinyman square massacre” is proof that THE TRUTH is censored in China.
Not censored. It’s openly discussed in the literature. Unsurprisingly, they don’t let you spread unsubstantiated claims about massacres, though.
If, as I’ve seen many a white “journalist” do, you go up to a random chinese person on the streets and ask “Hey do you know about the thousands of people that were massacred?” they would, very understandably, think you were deranged.
“June 4th incident” or “counter-revolutionary riot/rebellion” is part of a larger topic called “1989 Political Disturbance/Turmoil”, those who are interested can try searching with these terms.
BTW, in China “Tiananmen incident” refers to the 1976 incident, both incidents began from the mournings of Chinese leaders (Zhou Enlai in 1976 and Hu Yaobang in 1989).
from what I’ve heard, they don’t even block discussion of it in China, it’s just called the “June 4th incident” 😑

Yeah, they don’t let people spread lies about it, but it’s part of their history
