Why does it say nothing about the 1989 protests on Tiananmen Square, Beijing? (lemmygrad.ml)

In this article on baidu, there is a gap between 1988 and 1999, why is there nothing about some kind of protest that everyone keeps telling me about?

Edit: Thank you for responding, you have taught me a great deal about the usage and necessity of propaganda, counter-propaganda and censorship in a Marxist-Leninist state like China. Although some relied upon lies and insults as a means of trying to win an argunent, I got actual contentful theoretical education out of this, thanks.

Hm, okay that's fair, I looked around a little more and see it is indeed an encyclopedia, although I will say it isn't very detailed. I guess I don't know what the role this website is trying to fill; is this for introductory content? Is this a heavy traffic site? I will say that there definitely is TS detailed in other Chinese sites, a Chinese website is about half of where I read about TS originally. I don't think there is anything they should fear they have to hide. I guess my new guess will have to be: brevity.

I have spent more time looking around; a lot of articles are very spotty, have typos, miss fairly important information. Their article on the USA was almost...lukewarm? It's an odd site for sure. Incomplete at best.
