Then your school did a better job of educating you than anyone talking about thousands of protesters getting ground into paste. Mine told me that tens of thousands of protesters were all blocked into the square, then tanks machinegunned them all down and ran them over, and the only picture to make it out of the event was Tank Man blocking the tanks from entering the square.
The point isn't to make you sympathetic to the PLA, if you have a more nuanced understanding than "china killed 1000s of protestors because they fear and hate freedom", you're already ahead of 9/10 lemmitors, including the one I was responding to.
You can't have a constructive discussion with someone whose analysis begins and ends with "china bad", because they are incapable of actually engaging with the material beyond twisting any data into hostile evidence, and making up some if none is available.
