Wikileaks Cables Say No Bloodshed Inside Tiananmen Square
netchaos writes "Secret cables from the United States embassy in Beijing have shown there was no bloodshed inside Tiananmen Square when China put down student pro-democracy demonstrations 22 years ago." Which is not to say that everything was flowers and wine: "Instead, the cables show that Chinese soldiers opened fire on protesters outside the centre of Beijing, as they fought their way towards the square from the west of the city."
Link to something that says protesters were run over by tanks inside the square. I want to see the quality of such sources that you're willing to believe.
Because I don't remember ever reading or hearing any such thing from anyone credible. What I remember is the video of a protester standing down a column of tanks inside the square. Which tried to go around him. So he stepped to the side back in front of the tank. Which did not run him over.
If what you believe is contrary to what you had good reason to believe, that's your fault.
