Gosh. What a lot of mumbo jumbo.What you brought on have been SUCCESSFULLY challenged by those who were there. They had their own pictures of what happened and you can find them on your own.
The word 'massacre' is emotionally charged in the sense that the victims are usually either unable to defend themselves or if/when they can defend themselves, their defenses were easily overran by superior force. Dead soldiers ? How did they became dead ? Maybe by attacking the civilians and the civilians defended themselves ?
If the evidences for the Tiananmen Square Massacre are so weak, then why is the Chinese government STILL working hard to suppress any bit of information about it ? Let the public see the dispute between the 'Yea' and the 'Nay'. Why is that so hard to understand ?
Recently, I took a Chinese Intel engineer to my local Barnes and Noble bookstore and he saw the book "The People's Republic of Amnesia" by Louisa Lim. He asked me to explain what happened that day. He knows nothing about it. I spent five minutes in my own words and he spent the next HOUR reading that book while I drink my coffee. He could not buy the book and take it back to China with him because he know the book would be confiscated and he probably detained on some made up charges. I told him if ever visit the US again, he can spend a couple days at my house with the book if he want.
You and the rest of your Chinese friends on PDF are probably too young to remember that day. You deny it not because you done any serious research on the event, but because this is an oblique jab at US, not even at the Chinese activists on that day. You guys are more concerned about US than about China when it comes to the Tiananmen Square event.
Facts are facts. Backed up by testimony of BBC reporters that had apologize. Backed up by other European reporters that were at the square. Backed up by testimony of student leaders that were In the square and even by your own US embassy declassified papers. There are also just as many photos of burned soldiers and dead soldiers hanging from poles. The fact that you do not know about roads being blocked and that the protesters were armed is telling. You are just either ignorant or just refuse to believe the truth because it does not meet your point of view. Simple as that.
