Don't fall for any "order must be restored by the troops" rhetoric when that was the SAME excuse the Chinese government used during the #TiananmenSquareMassacre exactly 31 years ago

Here's a wider than usual shot of what Tank Man was really facing.
also don't drop your guard because of any concessions the military might seem to be making, because that's what the 250,000 troops mobilized to Beijing did on May 24, 12 days before the massacre
and note that telling protestors to back down without their demands being met DOES NOT WORK because that's exactly what got things heated 2 days before the massacre
hey I'm muting this thread but my parents were actual protestors during 1989 so please stop denying it to my face

it is not sinophobic to condemn the Chinese government.
