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

The main thing to me is simply the Chinese government’s constant efforts to pretend it didn’t happen.

Contrast this with places like America, or especially Germany. Both countries have done awful things to minorities. They often put attention on those misdeeds to ensure future generations don’t repeat the mistakes. Now, it’s considered patriotic to protest poor government decisions.

China has official death estimates so I don't believe that they deny that anything at all happened.

Now, it’s considered patriotic to protest poor government decisions.

Is it now? Would you say the student protests over Gaza are considered "patriotic" in mainstream American culture?
