It was terrible, but the generally held belief that thousands of people were machine-gunned down in Tiananmen Square then run over by tanks and turned into paste and washed down the drain doesn't appear to have been the case. People swear they've seen footage of it and everything. I've said before, four dead students in Ohio was enough to be an atrocity, so I'm not trying to minimise the importance of the event.
