🇨🇳 Censorship in China is backfiring now that young Chinese are secretly learning about the Tiananmen Square massacre.
Even with AI scrubbing every trace of June 4, 1989 from the internet, China’s Gen Z is finding the truth anyway... and often in the weirdest ways!
Olympic skater Alysa Liu’s dad was a Tiananmen protester who fled.
When she won gold, Chinese netizens exploded: some called him a traitor, others got curious.
One 20-year-old Wuhan student dropped a hint on RedNote and her comment got nuked in hours.
Teens are stumbling on it through random livestreams and digging behind the firewall.
They come out stunned: “I had no idea the protests were that huge” or “my whole worldview just collapsed.”
The regime’s total blackout is actually creating curiosity bombs.
Young Chinese are horrified when they learn students were shot and tanks rolled over people, and some now want out.
Truth will always find cracks.
Even the Great Firewall can’t stop it forever.

On June 4, the world marks 37 years since the Chinese Communist Party ordered its troops to attack thousands of peaceful demonstrators in and around Tiananmen Square. Those who sacrificed to uphold their unalienable rights of free expression and peaceful assembly will be vindicated someday.

I am a US citizen, but I have never in my life been so disappointed with the US. The reasons are many:
1. The US people have elected a president who represent all the deadly sins. How could they do that? Are they so morally deprived?
2. Lying has been normalized. Trump made it the standard.
3. The US used to claim the non-partisan rule of law, but SCOTUS has been proven utterly corrupt & obedient to Trump.
4. The US used to boast about its checks and balances, but they don't exist. The republicans in Congress are obedient servants of one man.
5. The US used to oppose corruption, but the Trump crime family is probably the most corrupt ruling family in the world. How can SCOTUS & the republicans in Congress accept that?
6. The US used to be considered a democracy, but massive gerrymandering & voter discrimination make US elections not very democratic.
7. Reporters without Broders have rightly lowered the US to rank #64 in its sound World Press Freedom index. the US no longer has media freedom, because of extortion and oppression through defamation court cases.
8. The US used to be the security guarantee of the free world, but Trump only praises Xi Jingping, Putin, Lukashenko & Kim Jong Un.
Is the US able to extract itself from the Trump trap, in which it has fallen so deeply?
