Don't mention specifically in China. (note that I am using it through the API which displays similar censorship as seen in the video but maybe misses the cruder "pull the plug" censorship layer that the web chat UI has)
Query: Give me a list of the 5 most famous political protests in the world
Response: Here is a list of five of the most famous political protests in world history, recognized for their global impact, historical significance, and enduring legacy:
Salt March (1930) – India
Led by Mahatma Gandhi, this nonviolent protest against British colonial salt taxes became a defining moment in India’s independence movement. The 24-day, 240-mile march galvanized mass civil disobedience and drew international attention to the struggle against British rule.
March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom (1963) – United States
A cornerstone of the Civil Rights Movement, this rally drew over 250,000 people. Martin Luther King Jr.’s "I Have a Dream" speech here became iconic, catalyzing support for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Tiananmen Square Protests (1989) – China
A pro-democracy movement led by students and workers in Beijing, demanding political reform. The Chinese government’s violent crackdown on June 4, symbolized by the "Tank Man" image, remains a potent symbol of resistance and repression.
Fall of the Berlin Wall (1989) – Germany
Mass protests across East Germany, part of the broader Revolutions of 1989, led to the collapse of the Berlin Wall on November 9. This event marked the end of Cold War divisions and the eventual reunification of Germany.
Arab Spring (2010–2012) – Middle East and North Africa
A wave of anti-government uprisings sparked by Mohamed Bouazizi’s self-immolation in Tunisia. It toppled regimes in Egypt, Libya, and Yemen, and inspired global movements for democracy, though outcomes varied widely.
These protests exemplify diverse tactics (nonviolence, mass mobilization, digital activism) and reshaped political landscapes worldwide.
