Here is a better version of what actually happened. So I guess you approve of the military crackdown and murder of hundreds. Yes, he was praised by the US and world press. You perhaps, should keep in mind that many millions of Chinese also, after 34 years, still remember his act of defiance. The link below has a section on him and what might have happened to him.contrary to the heroic advice of the heroic Western Media about heroically dying in defiance of Tyranny , people around grabbed the Tank Man out of the way . He hasn't been hanged yet .
Obstruction[edit]
At the northeast edge of Tiananmen Square, along Chang'an Avenue, shortly after noon on June 5, 1989, the day after the Chinese government's violent crackdown on the Tiananmen protests, "Tank Man" stood in the middle of the wide avenue, directly in the path of a column of approaching Type 59 tanks.[9][10][11] Stuart Franklin, who was on assignment for Time magazine, told The New York Times: "At some point, shots were fired and the tanks carried on down the road toward us, leaving Tiananmen Square behind, until blocked by a lone protester."[1] He wore a white shirt and black trousers, and he held two shopping bags.[12] As the tanks came to a stop, the man gestured at them with one of the bags. In response, the lead tank attempted to drive around the man, but the man repeatedly stepped into the path of the tank in a show of nonviolent action.[13] After repeatedly attempting to go around, the lead tank stopped its engines, and the armored vehicles behind it followed suit. There was a short pause with the man and the tanks having reached a quiet, still impasse.
Having successfully brought the column to a halt, the man climbed onto the hull of the buttoned-up lead tank and, after briefly stopping at the driver's hatch, appeared in video footage of the incident to call into various ports in the tank's turret. He then climbed atop the turret and seemed to have a short conversation with a crew member at the gunner's hatch. After ending the conversation, the man descended from the tank. The tank commander briefly emerged from his hatch, and the tanks restarted their engines, ready to continue on. At that point, the man, who was still standing within a meter (yard) or two from the side of the lead tank, leapt in front of the vehicle once again and quickly re-established the man–tank standoff.
Video footage shows two figures in blue pulling the man away and disappearing with him into a nearby crowd; the tanks continued on their way.[13] Eyewitnesses are unsure who pulled him aside. Charlie Cole, who was there for Newsweek, said it was the Chinese government PSB (the police),[14] while Jan Wong, who was there for The Globe and Mail, thought that the men who pulled him away were concerned bystanders.
the thread has been started with removal from things from up above . While the one below was the last answer in thread .
ı have no position on Tiananmen . Will have no position on the 2030 or whatever war you will have with China . Will have no comment on the commander of US Military transport planes ordering his troops to become proficient in small arms so that they can execute traitor Americans a la Argentinians in the Dirty War or whatever years .in case it has escaped your attention , ı might or might not have claimed the guy was PLA officer or NCO some years ago in CFC . That the media says something is no guarantees that the thing is true or whatever . In case you haven't noticed he keeps carrying his groceries or whatever or it might even include his ID papers and a Scorpion submachine gun or whatever the Chinese had in those days . Want to believe he is a martyr in the name of Democracy ? What , ı can't be fixing that , right ?
and easy with painting with anti-democracy thing or whatever , too . You have had just 4 years of Trump . You lack experience in defining what's what .
We saw the footage. We know he was pulled out of the way.contrary to the heroic advice of the heroic Western Media about heroically dying in defiance of Tyranny , people around grabbed the Tank Man out of the way . He hasn't been hanged yet .
You said Western media said he died fighting the CCP.so ?
the US Congress now claims to have 12 UFOs in "its possession"
-if still gonna insist , rather harp on how ı reject to be satisfied by the glory of Thrawn series that starts with such cool lines like "Its neighbors are left in peace, its enemies are left in ruin. It is light and culture and glory...It is the Chiss Ascendancy" and like reject woke taking over Star Wars . Oh , that possibly can not be any threat to you or something .
