It’s a video covering all sorts of forbidden topics in China and tagged with hashtags like #uyghur and #tiananmensquare but the video showed up on people’s “for you” page and engagement/views was in line with most of his other videos. On the other hand, his videos where he brings up other topics like the CIA get outright censored. He uploaded a video about Palestine and tagged one with tags like #freepalestine and then uploaded the same video again without those hashtags and the one with the hashtags has <70k views versus the >930k views of the video without the hashtags.
#HongKong has denied a visa to Rowena He - eminent scholar of #China ’s 1989 #TiananmenSquare crackdown, preventing her from returning to her teaching post in the city & fuelling concerns about #AcademicFreedom in the #Chinese territory.
He, a #Canadian citizen who was #AssociateProfessor in history at #ChineseUniversity of HK told Financial Times she had also been “terminated with immediate effect”, #CUHK citing immigration department’s rejection of her visa renewal.
@MarkAsser Quoted from John Simpson, former International Editor at BBC (when that actually meant something)
"34 years ago in Beijing I saw the Tiananmen massacre unfold, from the first approach of the Chinese army APCs to the tank-defying man with the shopping bags. Each year bots and stooges say it didn’t happen. It did. I watched 40 people die in front of me." #TiananmenSquare#StandWithHongKong
Today's a good day to remember the Tiananmen Square protests and massacre of 4 June 1989.
These photos serve as a reminder that sometimes you need to be fed-up with your government, and brave like Tank Man, also known as the Unknown Protester or Unknown Rebel. This unidentified Chinese man stood in front of a column of Type 59 tanks leaving Tiananmen Square in Beijing on June 5, 1989.
On this particular day, let's all keep in mind how the ghoulish #CCP regime of #China sent the #PLA onto Beijing's #TiananmenSquare to violently squash the student protests by killing thousands of the brightest youngsters with tanks and machine guns.
Keep in mind that the #TiananmenMassacre took away the only child from thousands of families.
Keep the memory alive, resist the brainwashing of the CCP and its shills. #unforgotten#unforgiven#humanrights#0604
Today in Labor History April 15, 1989: The Tiananmen Square protests began in China on this day. The demonstrations started in response to the death of a reformist leader, Hu Yaobang. At the height of the protests, over 1 million people occupied the square. On June 4, the Chinese government declared martial law and sent in the military to forcibly end the occupation. They killed hundreds, possibly thousands of unarmed students and workers.
They rushed that through with the quickness too (lemmy.world)
