Then give US ignorant Westerners the real truth, not the alternate one.
You seems not the know the real meaning of the word 'truth'.
Philosophically speaking, what is taken as a 'truth' may not be factual. For thousands of yrs, it was the 'truth' that the Earth is flat, but the fact is that the planet is round and people just were not scientifically sophisticated enough to grasp the real truth. Facts can help to create truth, but what is perceived as truth do not always have facts to support it.
Stop suppressing ANY discussion of TS 1989. If TS 1989 turned out to be nothing, then that truth will stand on its own.
But we should not expect any such transparency from China. Even today, the best you can do, and brainwashed your citizens, is that Mao's Great Leap Forward was a 'mistake'. The facts of the famine are so great that you could not suppress them, so you resort to minimizing its horrific human toll just to salvage face for Mao. Same for TS 1989. The facts for that atrocity are out for all to see. Even in 1989, there were means to get testimonies and pictures out. You have one Westerner who said he saw nothing versus plenty of Chinese who said they saw plenty of bloodshed.
Sorry but facts are facts, you will treat this alternate version as "facts" and there's nothing that can change that. Do you expect us to believe you will change this mindset if China decides one day to come out with an announcement that no massacre ever took place in '89 ? Explain why British newspapers have put up articles online that no massacre took place and it was all exaggerated? Wait wait don't tell me China must have bribed them. Americans are the last one who should lecture us about transparency.
