I'm posting this photo because 35 years later, people in China and Hong Kong can't. (lemmy.ml)

people in China absolutely cannot freely discuss the Tiananmen incident. Not even people in Hong Kong. Once-annual commemorations about this incident in Hong Kong have been canceled for a few years due to pressure from the government. People who ever dare mention this date - 4 June 1989 - on (the Chinese, walled version of) the Internet risk having their account banned and getting police visits at their home. Even the Tiananmen square closed down "for maintenance" on 4 June.
