19th Anniversary
|
Trust me, nothing happened on this site, honest.(click to enlarge) |
19 years ago today, nothing happened on Tian An Men Square.
In China, people are still not allowed to discuss this issue freely and openly. Many netizens refer this day as the "G-spot" of the Chinese government, if you touch it without permission, all sorts of strange reactions appear.
Sometimes the reaction from government just gets ridiculously ridiculous:even the Chinese phrase of the date " June the 4th" in is banned in some chinese search engines.
This kind of government is either suffering from total lack of self-confidence, or really did something bad 19 years ago. I suspect the latter is the case, although some facts of Tiananmen Square Massacre are still on hot debate.
By the way, the cartoon is also banned in China, which is kind of ... pathetic. If you never seen this episode of The Simpsons, the plot can be found here.
