    Violating human rights is something every nation does. Just ask Canada and the indigenous people. That said, I’m absolutely going to judge a country on how bad they violate it.

    The fact that USA’s propaganda system is really good and made that one tank photo famous, doesn’t change the reality that the man actually didn’t get ran over.

    He even got away with climbing onto the tank.

    So the argument then becomes as it always does for Americans trying to accuse China. BUT WE DO IT, IT HAD TO HAPPEN.

    It’s called projection buddy.

      “Its ok that china violated a bunch of rights, cause canada did it worse!” You really were bricked in the head. There isnt a justifiable level of human rights violations, you living piece of filth.

      The photo isnt bad for implying that singular man died, its just the famous photo of a massacre. Oh, wait, let me guess. That one didnt happen, but if it did, it wasnt as bad as the US so its not a big deal, and it had to happen right?

        I hope you’re actually curious about the events that did happen. Because I’d love to tell you about them. And yes, this is the actual position of the Chinese government.

        The protestors eventually got violent and started violently attacking the police and military who were sent there to quell the rebellion. For peaceful protestors, explain to me how they destroyed several armed military vehicles in this picture.

        BLM protestors couldn’t even destroy police cars, let alone a column of armored vehicles.

        Now, admittedly the terrified and violent over reaction by the Chinese military and police from this situation was horrible. China continues to refuse to disclose exactly how many people died from this. Which is what all the calls on China’s evil censorship is about.

        However, as unfortunate as it is, and I do personally believe thousands were killed. The police and military are human. They were terrified of a group of terrorists who were able to destroy and entire column of armored vehicles. Does that excuse their over reaction? No, but could I understand, unfortunately yes.

          Do you remember when I told you that you cannot trust the word of a genocidal government?

          Did you notice how you just parroted like a well trained bird the words of a genocidal government? You even admit you know you are repeating what you are trained to say.

          Did you notice how you blamed the protestors for “starting it?” Thats what the US says about black and indigenous people. Australia and canada about their respective indiginous populi. Russia about ukraine. You just blamed the victims of a war crime for, and I quote you previously, “it had to happen.”

          Youre excusing mass killings. You literally say, “no but unfortunately yes.”

          Youre justifying and excusing mass killings, just because a chinese man pulled the trigger.

          You are the person who defends humans rights violations. Youre doing it right now.

            Right, I don’t trust the government. I do trust images, such as the one of a destroyed armored column. That could not have been done by peaceful protestors. How do you explain the destroyed column otherwise.

            *Edit: I do trust that I saw the tank man survive. I also do trust I’ve seen dozens of images of US police running over BLM protestors. I trust what I see with my eyes, not what the governments say. Why do you trust words over images?

              Show me proof that the chinese did not destroy them themselves to justify the killings. A thing multiple nations have been caught doing to hide human rights violations for centuries, from japan to the US.

              Oh my god, you do think stalin was alone in those photos

                What the? So your argument now is that after seeing the military avoid conflict driving around the tank man and seeing destroyed columns of armored vehicle, you think China staged all of that? Even though those images were taken by western journalists who were there at the time? So China got the west to play along with this as well? What are you talking about?

                *Edit: You do know that no pictures were taken by China and that everything we have was taken by foreign journalists right? You know at least that much about the history I hope.

                  All you have showed me is some broken vehicles. Thats not proof that terrorists did anything, nor is it proof that china had no other choice but to commit multiple successive war crimes.

                  Your handler gave you one photo and a fantasy story and you barked happily on your knees. This isnt proof, its a pro genocide conspiracy theory that china decided makes great propaganda.
