The way the picture makes it seem, he is stopping them from entering the city. But the protests had been suppress. Also these protests were rioters, many soldiers were killed that day before.

They were leaving the square, why would 'tank man' want to stop them?
here's another perspective.

the scroll bar makes it look like a long read, but the bottom 2/3 is comments.

I made $260k last year, not counting my wife's income and rental income. I can retire now in my mid 30s if I wanted to. I don't need the extra 50 cents you claim I receive from any entity.

the video is clear as day and there for you to view. if you choose to ignore reality, then that's on you. stop the name calling.
Does this post of lies also qualify for the payment? Or does it need to be more china specific lies??

Watch the video. Surely you have circulated that picture among your friends and family as a sign of Chinese oppression.

What was your reaction when you learned this wasn't a brave protester standing in the way of a massacre, but a confused grocery shopper who was stopping the tanks form LEAVING the city, and these soldiers trying to get around him even as he climbed onto the tank to speak with the driver.

Does that make you question the narrative that is set by the government?

It's stuff like this that makes people trust China less, if it were possible.

sorry, you're right, I lied. it was just under $259k, not $260k.
maybe with enough 50c posts, I can hit $260k. yeah, that must be what I'm trying to do.

not only that, but there was another article debunking the whole tiananmen "massacre" that described how you could tell the tanks were leaving the square based direction the tanks were headed relative to buildings.

those who are familiar with the area would pick up on it, and of course the rest of the world would just believe the garbage that the media publishes.
