From the Chinese immigrants I know that were actually at that event, they say China was not like it was today. There was "democracy" and open exchange of ideas, but as the left pushed for more and the government was changing it came to a head.
I think eerily similar to what is happening in USA with Trumps admin.
After the clash, their government went full authoritarian, and hunting down protestors.
It looks like USA left movements have been too slow to become the tank man guy though.
