  Is china == CCP?
People in China and Hong Kong can, actually. Presumably your understanding of the Tiananmen riots is about as garbage as almost every other Westerner’s.

BTW, there isn’t a ban on Winnie-the-Pooh, either.
- No guys, it wasn't an deadly conflict between protestors and an authoritarian government that resulted in hundreds of deaths!! It was... uh... okay it was exactly that, but the government wasn't that bad because I like them.
  
  LOLLL
  
  It was very different to the generally accepted version, as some recently declassified USA diplomatic cables confirm. The official position of the US government is that there was no killing in the actual square. I was extremely surprised as well.
- I'm so glad you posted this. I've been looking for some of the photos of soldiers getting attacked for a long time. I commend your efforts in trying to educate people even though they won't listen.

  Police said late Tuesday that they arrested four people
- You sure they aren't censoring Winnie-the-Pooh comparisons?
  
  Yes, I’m sure. You can buy Pooh-branded crap and ride Pooh-branded amusement park rides. Nobody cares.
  
  Did it occur to you that CNN and other US corporate media might not be any more reliable now during Cold War II than they were before during Cold War I?

  Shocked, I say
  
  Have you done the most basic thing and read the wikipedia article? Is that "denial" too?
- the websites you reference make me think your into conspiracies, and probably hate america. seem like cult websites.
  
  If it isn’t imperial core corporate or think tank media site then it’s a conspiracy theory, got it.
