Perspectives on image search really do give clarity. Below one of the classic "standard" photographs of the "Tiananmen atrocities", when tanks indifferently drive past corpses with bicycles thrown to the side of the road, turned out, thanks to a technological search by parts of the picture, to be an edited collage using photographs of student protests in Thailand in 1973.
The first photograph is the "canonical horrors of Tiananmen", the second is a real one from 1973 and another country. The lower right part of one is transferred to the other.
"We were young, there was no Photoshop, retouched by hand" - Gene Sharp, who was present at Tiananmen, should have said… but no, he won't say.
Yes, there is a square and tanks, everything really happened. It is extremely interesting how many situations will turn up when studying the topic, when photographs from Thailand in 1973 were used to illustrate the atrocities of 1989 in China by late retouching and combining.
What do we Western people care? We see only a bunch of Asians in white shirts in the square, and there. No one could tell them apart, Washington propagada can work freely.

正经来说,在政治上有点实力但不多,比当时大部分军阀强点;在军事上指挥水平最多一个团长不得了了,但喜欢微操展示技术,结果就是有多大脸现多大眼;在个人道德水平和国家治理上一坨狗屎,尤其是在大陆的统治末期一手金圆券成功玩崩政权的金融体系
