        WHOAH whoah whoah whoah, whoah, wait a minute… okay, so, uh… okay, let me see if I got this. When you say,

        He didn’t die. The tanks stopped.

        What you REALLY mean is,

        He did die. The tanks didn’t stop.

        Is this right???

        Multiple times even, they tried to drive around him, but he moved infront of them again, so they stopped again.

        The story I’ve always been told, even in our schools, is that they took him away and shot him and charged his family for the bullet. Was he not executed?

          So now that you know they had absolutely no basis for that story, hopefully you will be more skeptical next time about atrocity propaganda about our “geopolitical enemies”.

          Nah, he was never identified. Why should they kill him? The event happened the day after the supposed massacre, he stood infront of tanks leaving the square.

          There was no violence on the square itself btw. Violence only started when the protesters started lynching unarmed soldiers, stealing military vehicles, throwing benzin bombs and looted a arms depot. Overall about 300 people died in the street battles around the square, lots of them soldiers among them.

          This is supported by every eyewitness, chinese and non-chinese.

          The offical western version is from the british government in Hong Kong and no eye witnesses support it.

          Worth noting that the main instigators were spirited away by the US and live comfortable there. A bit before the events the previously unknown NGO National Endowment for Democracy(NED) opened a bureau in HK. Shortly after the events the bureau was closed. NED is the regime change arm of the CIA, created because it got a bit suspicious how all those “democracy adovcates” and "oppositional parties"turned out to get money from the CIA. The financing and training is now done by the NED.

      1. He wasn’t killed
      2. The event takes place the day after the supposed massacre on a road leading to the square, the tanks are leaving the square.
