Do you really believe that is what happened? That tanks were used to kill protesters?

Does that whole section quote only a single source in Chinese that I can't read? Yes. You can believe it or not, I don't care. Assuming that your curiosity into why people believe that protesters got mowed down by tanks is genuine, this should answer your question.
That's a fairly weak counterpoint. It seems really meaningless who died or didn't, the state crushed protests. A lot of ml assertion about the west is accurate but then to turn around to be blindly nationalist. Additionally, Mao was not a good leader. He likely was fairly correct in his goals, but a failure in methodology and leadership. Largely because of nationalism and the state.
What are you even responding to? I didn't say anything about Mao, who died vs surviving, or what people think about the West. I wasn't even making a counterpoint, I was indulging someone's genuine curiosity.
