I am curious of how exactly events of Tienanmen square are taught in Chinese schools. Stalin’s purges was also part of the soviets schools curriculum, they were taught as necessary toughness - mostly bad people died with some minor mistakes

I just got genuinely curious how it's being taught in Western schools. The image I remember (from Poland, but media, not schools back then) was entirely single-sided, "evil communists murdered hundreds of thousands of protesters". There was no mention whatsoever about the whole context, or _why_ people actually died. It was being portrayed almost as a kind of mass execution.
