    I don’t know if I would have used Tiananmen Square.

    The Uighur re-education cities seems far more fitting.

      Or the invasion of Vietnam… Or the annexation of Tibet… Or the bullying of Southeast Asian countries… Or the great leap forward… Or the communist land reforms… Or the anti counterrevolutionary campaigns

      The CCP leaves you no end of really good options to pick here.

      If these “cities” exist which are claimed to have imprisoned millions of people where are the photos?

      Do you realize how much physical space that many people takes up in addition to supplying them?

      Yeah tiananmen is such a meme at this point. You can tell when people base their entire politics on memes and don’t bother reading and searching on their own. Tiananmen is an issue they won’t step mentioning.

        I knew this was going to be the only one people tried to deny in this thread, but I didn’t figure it would be OP
