This thread🧵is your average "Tiananmen square massacre" propagandists do not want to you see #TiananmenSquareMassacre
Let's start with a video of the "Peaceful student protesters" hijacking an armored vehicle and firing it's .50 caliber machine gun at the PLA on June 3rd 1989
This video shows the "peaceful protesters" near Tiananmen square stoning PLA truck drivers to death.
Do they look like peaceful protesters to you?
The 2 videos above were filmed during daylight, the "massacre" according to Western propaganda, happened on the late night of 3rd and early morning of June 4th
By early morning of June 4th, the PLA already took control of Beijing, So the rioters started killing soldiers FIRST
So scenes like this is happening BEFORE the supposed massacre.
ie the rioters were KILLING SOLIDERS.
This is Hou Dejian, he's a song writer from Taiwan, he's one of the organizers of the protests that happened before June 4th 1989
Hear him say that he did not see ANY killings at the Tiananmen Square, he was there until the last moment on June 4th 1989 #TiananmenSquareMassacre
This is Liu Xiaobo the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.
And listen how he confirmed Hou Dejian's statements that there were no killings nor shootings in the Tiananmen Square, during the supposed #TiananmenSquareMassacre
From the images of burnt out military equipment and dead soldiers, it was clear the the riot was already out of control and was an open rebellion in the Capital
LOL silenced by twitter, had to delete the more graphic tweets, showing the bodies of PLA soldiers.

China's trade surplus reached a historic $1 trillion.
🧵On how China broke the conventional neoliberal view on trade.
An interesting contribution to the surplus is the plateauing of Chinese imports.
Linked to the industrial upgrade of China, there are just not many things we need to buy from other countries, other than things we can't make, such as raw material.
Many take China's existence as the world's factory for granted, but before the rise of China in the 1990s the world economy were a lot different.
Less global, local manufacturing were the norm, Japan and South Korea were the first post-war outsource destination, but...
../they were relatively small AND MORE IMPORTANTLY only served rich economies.
(Many developing economies back then haven't even exited the agrarian economy, let alone consume manufactured goods).
The Indian air force still haven't received the Tejas fighters they ordered in 2009.
Tejas is a low-end 4th gen fighter, the world has moved onto 6th gen fighters.
India's war strategy revolves around the 2.5 front war theory.
A thread on the strategic predicament of India.🧵
India's 2.5 front war means when war comes for India, they will have to fight China and Pakistan simultaneously, while also having to deal with the half (0.5) front of homegrown insurgents.
Recently, the addition of Bangladesh means India will have to deal with a 3.5 front war.
In the near future, China's aircraft carrier battlegroups will rule the Indian ocean.
So by 2030s, India will have to deal with a 4.5 front war(China in the Himalayas and Indian ocean, Pakistan, Bangladesh and insurgency).
How India plans to fight their 2.5, now 3.5 front war?
