At least the CCP is open to criticism and debate about their actions back then.
If you go to Tiananmen today, you will see and hear a lot of discussion of this troubling time in China's recent history. Sure, sometimes the debate about one party authoritarian rule vs the colonial nature of Western-style democracy can get heated, but there are police around in clearly marked uniforms to make sure it doesn't get out of hand. Never again!
This, folks, is CCP propaganda.
Edit: I got whooshed, lemmy.ml has me on high alert
it's obviously humor
this is hilarious
I thought the reference to clearly marked police was the icing on the cake, but people may not have read that far.
I don't think anyone who has been to Tiananmen Square can do anything but laugh at my comment.
your humor flew right below their radars
Can't win them all.
Check your carbon monoxide detector
So many people down voting you can't spot the obvious sarcasm. Well done haha
Yes, that's one of the CCP's best qualities, to be sure. It's so rare to see a government actively encourage their citizens to discuss such major events,
