You have this one photo, onto which you project a lifetime of cold war propaganda.

It may surprise you to learn that tank man was standing in the way of tanks leaving the square and going back to base. After climbing on to the tank and talking with the crew, he eventually left the area with some other civilians.
Video of exactly that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qq8zFLIftGk

Go look up the video to find out how this ends, then go look up how it ended for people standing in front of cop cars during George Floyd protests for comparison. That's not the funny part though, the hilarious bit is that the guy was protesting the tanks leaving because he was against the color revolution you chuds were trying to run in China. Try harder shitlib.
