No means shilling for China but it was a CIA/MI6 "color revolution" to overthrow the Chinese gov't. A "military academic," Gene Sharp's 1st such psyop. He was present at Tiananmen until the gov't in Beijing realized his subversive role & kicked him out.

It's not a video. Just that famous image.

I'm going to retract what I said about a psyop. That is a helluva lot ofstudents and military. No way they could get that many people to cooperate in a psyop but that's just an instant opinion.

I agree. There's hundreds of thousands there. Though, they could stage an event in broad daylight. They do it in the US. Only a few hundred would be involved.

Though, the narrative of a true event is altogether different than that of a fictional one. That is a juxtaposition to be understood clearly.
