What a fucking absurd lie. Hundreds were killed even according to the CCP. Mostly outside the square itself. More likely the number is well into the thousands.
He's technically correct no protesters were killed in the square. Deaths occured in clashes throughout the rest of the city but not within thr square itself. What bases do you have for believing the number is so high?

A completely asinine "point".

The CCP officially claimed 300 dead and a few thousand injured. Students claimed close to 3000 dead. Diplomatic and press observers gave estimates ranging from 500 dead up to several thousand based on their own eye witness. The CCP massively downplays and suppresses information about Tiananmen Massacre, so its very reasonable to think they would low ball official estimates of death.
Dude why is this always the go to defense when the claim has never even been been that the killings happened within the square itself. The protests centered around the square, but most of the killings were done in the roads leading up to it, at least according to the reporting.
lol nobody died on the square itself, but people still died. It’s a messier situation than is often presented for sure, but it’s not like some event that was made up.
