And the Chinese not admitting to propaganda due to the lack of a FOIA-equivalent means they don’t do propaganda?

PC Gaming@lemmy.world•Jeff Kaplan is sick of hearing you demonize games you weren't going to play anyway: 'Shut the f**k up. No one cares. We don't need to hear that you weren't into it'English
01·27 days agoIt’s a breakdown of a guy leading the production of a shitty game complaining about people who speak negatively about shitty games without paying for them first.
The most generous interpretation is that he knows his game is going to get shit on from a great height and it’s already bothering him.

So verified by the people who put out the propaganda in the first place. Your source “confirming” the story literally came from Beijing, and all the wikipedia page (Hardly an arbiter of objective truth in the first place) states is that the number is and has been in dispute. The source cited for that section of the Wikipedia article is also a Western source titled “Quelling the People: The Military Suppression of the Beijing Democracy Movement” published in 1998 by the Stanford University Press. Something tells me they weren’t pushing the CCP line.
So basically your “Easy example” just proves my point: While you chuckle about westerners just believing what western governments said, you’re just wholeheartedly endorsing the version of events published by the Chinese government. The west aren’t the only ones lying to you, bud, they’re just the only ones who will admit it years after the fact.
