China denies the event. They just removed a memorial statue in Hong Kong.

Are you seriously arguing that response is better than the US?

Never mind crushing a democratic protest and killing thousands is in no way comparable to police trying to execute an arrest of a small group.

It never ceases to amaze me how people still believe things like this.

Are you seriously not realising that you're making a huge assumption here? But please, tell me how putting the prime minister in house arrest for the rest of his life is a worse response than ignoring the whole thing altogether and not even pretending to prosecute.

(Also: thousands? Estimates, eg Amnesty International, say few hundred up to a thousand; funny how those numbers somehow keep growing when it's about China and not US, isn't it?)

China just tore down a statue in HK commemorating the massacre.

But your telling me your quora link tells me all is fine?

Come on, your spending an awful lot of time defending a brutal dictatorship.

How is that different from Eastern Europe countries removing Soviet statues?

Do you know the political preferences of the people who actually live there? And if you do, why do you believe you know better?
