Evidence that something didn’t happen? Shouldn’t that be the other way around?
I’ve seen evidence of a handful of deaths in the square, a dozen or so armed men who fired on tanks at the entrance routes to the city, and a half-dozen soldiers were lynched.
The British cable that talked of tanks running over bodies until they were mush and washed down the drain was fantastical nonsense and proof that many westerners will believe anything as long as it’s negative of China.
What you wrote appears to be skepticism that it was a massacre. What I provided was photos of a massacre. I’m not sure why you think that’s consistent.
I provided skepticism of the British cable (which forms many westerners conception of what happened) that talks of thousands of corpses which needed to be ran over with tanks and washed down the drain in order to hide, which did not happen.
I said a handful of deaths occurred in the square, and the evidence you’ve shown confirms that. The most gruesome photos are of the same unfortunate soul who appears to have fallen off a wheeled vehicle.
One simple dispute I know that doesn’t question the violence is where the violence took place. Western journalists stationed in the square reported hearing sporadic gunfire, the majority of the violence that happened took place in western Beijing and side streets. The pictures with dead that are shared aren’t located in the square, however that is the way its portrayed in Western media. One can accept this inaccuracy while not being a denier.

You clearly didn’t see @NaibofTabr’s link, so here it is- https://archive.ph/7Tdzh
Let me guess, all Photoshopped.
That appears to be consistent with what I wrote.

You’ve now made a false dichotomy of your “thousands of corpses ran over with tanks” strawman, and “a handful”.
Conveniently for you, this excludes the truth - several hundred dead victims.
This smug sophomore bullshit, along with supporting authoritarian dictatorships, is why everyone hates you tankies.
