    Really, even the CIA backed unregistered ‘student’ protestors that killed the cops, starting the entire affair? I thought you’d be into that.

    And yes, we are taught it. It’s a great intro to international affairs and interference in China. At least most academies teach it, some focus on history that matters, like why the US decided to fund fascists for half of its existence.

      I am intrigued - it sounds like much of the rest of the world have a very different version to what you are claiming China teaches.

      If it was a CIA job and one that is so blatant that it is taught in schools, you would think it would be more known. I shall have to do some reading maybe - any starting points you can recommend with historical citations?

        Sure, https://www.qiaocollective.com/education/tiananmenreadinglist

        It’s really not a secret what the rest of the world knows about the incident, outside the West.

        You guys are in a self imposed information bubble based on the idea that the West can do no wrong and if the West does something wrong then whoever they did it to deserved it.

        Like pearl harbor, I know for a fact it’s taught that it was an unprovoked surprise attack in US schools, when in reality the US deserved it, really earned that attack. And as a dual citizen of at least one country that hates Japan for their war crimes, that’s hard to say.

          Thank you. I’ve read through a couple of the links there - there is a lot to digest, so I’ll have to do it over the next few days. I’ll come back.
