> On June 19, Beijing Party Secretary Li Ximing reported to the Politburo that the government's confirmed death toll was 241, including 218 civilians (of which 36 were students), 10 PLA soldiers, and 13 People's Armed Police, along with 7,000 wounded.
But the actual number of deaths is likely much higher.
- falcolas 5y agoSounds like those numbers have been “fixed” as the narrative has evolved over the intervening years.
- J5892 5y agoI'm not up to date with the current official narrative, but I can only assume it's that there was a large picnic that day and someone accidentally spilled a giant jar of raspberry jam. But it was an otherwise pleasant day with exactly zero humans crushed by tanks or otherwise killed.
