> but do you have direct evidence? All information about the Tiananmen Square massacre is blocked in China by the great firewall. What more evidence do you need?

My extended family over there knows perfectly well what happened, they just don’t like to talk about it. And my parents know exactly what happened because they were there, and nobody’s coming after them. So without further evidence it seems to be equivalent to certain very contentious political topics in the US, which people are aware of, but you certainly cannot bring up.

Can your extended family research any of it? (search online, read about it in books, etc) Can they speak about it without being persecuted? Can anyone who isn't your extended family find information about it other than through informal channels?

Like what? Please elaborate specifically?

I'm so confused on what your stance is here. You realize there is a big difference between being persecuted by others for saying something or "knowing something" and being persecuted by the government for saying something or "knowing something"?

It's not unsubstantive or flamebait. It's fact. Chinese companies have been throwing a lot of money at Western companies for years, which gives the CCP a crazy amount of influence over wide swaths of the economy. But yeah, let's squabble over what's flamebait while the CCP slowly takes over the world.

If you continue to use HN for nationalistic flamewar we will ban you. That is because of the degrading impact it has on discussion here, and it goes regardless of what country you have a problem with. HN users can, and do, make thoughtful points on such topics from many different viewpoints. "China has their fingers in everything" is not that.

It's not nationalistic and it's not flaming. Are you a fucking shill or just retarded?
