    Username checks out.

    Tankies will always find any excuse to say China can do no wrong, and if they do it’s the west’s fault…

    “We had to massacre those protesters, you see. The US was targeting our military assets! It’s their fault.” Golly.

      I mean. If labor unions killed people. Like they did during some of the coal mine riots. It gives the police and at times military freedoms to retaliate.

      I grew up where the sheriff of my county killed 25 people in a single day before miner unions were allowed to exist.

      Look up the Williamsport Mine Field Riots. They treated these people like animals. Just like the CCP treats their lower workers.

      I’m not a tankie. I just know what happened on the ground that led up to the violence. I was in a masters program for counter terror.

        Maybe I misunderstood your original comment. It seemed like you were saying that it was okay for the CCP to massacre protestors because the protestors were manipulated by CIA plants.

        If that’s not what you were saying, then I was mistaken. If it was, then I don’t know how anything you just said is supposed to change my opinion…

          I was just saying what they used as evidence for ending the student uprising. I’m not saying it was acceptable. I’m just pointing out the acts that they used to back up their actions. All of those students weren’t even aware of this. They didn’t know what they got pulled into. It was tragic.
