Isn't it really more to do with pro Chinese? The name literally refers to the Tiananmen Square massacre.

It predates Tiananmen square by 3 decades. It comes from the Soviets using tanks in the Hungarian revolution.

TIL, thanks. It's even in the Wiki for the Hungarian revolution, and of course the wiki for Tankie lines up as well.
