I rather thought mostly people looked how China achieved whatever success it achieved and said, "Yeah, we don't do that. Don't care how effective it is at one thing the price is too high."
Also can their stats be trusted? How would you know? Yes the west is following some very repressive and revolting media policies "Hi Julian!" But still a long way behind the PRC so stuff tends to come out eventually. Hunter Biden's laptop emails were real, not "russian disinformation" and we are now aware of that censorship which troubles us regardless of who we voted for. Most chinese in China have never heard of or seen this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_Man https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_Man
Still some 3 decades later. These things are related, similar but their magnitude is (at least at this stage) not remotely comparable.
- pphysch 5y agoWhat is so significant about "tank man", and how do you know that no one in China has seen it?
- wewtyflakes 5y agoBecause of methodical actions like this: https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/Entertainment/wireStory/tiananmen-massacre-statue-barricaded-hong-kong-university-81898333 https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/Entertainmen... There is deliberate effort by that government to erase that history. Do you think they are not effective in doing so in their own house?
- pphysch 5y agoYou didn't address what is significant about the tank man. Have you seen the full video?
- epgui 5y agoI am under the impression that despite the censorship, most people within China actually do know about tank man. So I would say {{citation needed}}.
