No, just wondering why the obsession with this one event. This particular event gets brought up more on lemmy.world than perhaps any other historical event. I would ask the same if people kept bringing up the great molasses flood and cracking the same old "slow as molasses" joke.
good news! YOU have the power to post about other tragedies.
Because it's a world famous event that is virtually unknown in the host country. There are usually examples for each country.
The US doesn't know anything about the war crimes exposed by wikileaks.
Russia knows almost nothing true about the Ukrainian war.
The UK has superembargos (usually about celebs and royalty) which is only reported on abroad.
Thailand doesn't gossip about its royalty.
Etc.
Every single person in China knows about this event. And the average Chinese person's understanding is closer to reality about it than that of the average Westerner. Sure Chinese people's understanding of it is overly sympathetic to the government, and they scrub internet posts about the event, but Americans have a completely cartoonish propaganda view. Listen to the reporters who were there, not random redditors with a hate boner.
How does everyone in china know all about it if the CCCP scrub internet posts about the event?

Amnesty is probably a capitalist lib propaganda group or something to them.
Sure they scrub any mention of it, it's totally fine
