[Epoch Times, June 4, 2021](Epoch Times reporter Zhang Ting comprehensive report) On the day of the Tiananmen Square Massacre anniversary, Hu Xijin, the editor-in-chief of the Global Times, the CCP’s external propaganda, tweeted multiple tweets , Defended the CCP’s June 4th suppression. At the same time, he also tried to shift the target of public opinion to the United States, but was ridiculed by netizens. Some foreign netizens satirized Hu Xijin’s mental disorder.
Hu Xijin said on Twitter that the Tiananmen Square incident occurred 32 years ago. Many people today may not fully understand this incident. But the United States‘ suppression of the Capitol rioters happened not long ago. If you want to condemn “national violence”, first condemn the repression of the Capitol.
Since his tweets were written in English, many foreigners followed suit. Some say that it is unimaginable to equate the U.S. Congress incident with the use of tanks to run over citizens in the United States. Some people ridiculed that hundreds of people were shot and killed in the capital crackdown in the United States.
Some netizens said: “Mental disorder”; “Are you trying to remind me where the United States used tanks to run over its citizens?”; “What an embarrassing distortion of logic!”; “It’s really not comparable. It’s you ( Hu Xijin) did not’completely understand the’Tiananmen’ incident’; “You tried to sound reasonable and ethical, but failed miserably”; “Compare the deaths of more than 2,000 people in Tiananmen Square with the 6 deaths in the Capitol ? And none of these 6 people were run over by tanks. What about those who disappeared after their deaths (in the Tiananmen Square incident)?”; “The Chinese Communist Party officials acknowledged the Tiananmen Square incident”; “The U.S. military did not drive tanks to Capitol Hill to run over. Unarmed protesters”; “Congratulations on acknowledging the Tiananmen Square massacre, where the Chinese (CCP) government mercilessly massacred unarmed students only because they wanted to gain democracy and were convicted.”
Some netizens also directly attached a historical video of the “tank man” in the Tiananmen Square incident to counter Hu Xijin’s remarks.
In another tweet, Hu Xijin forwarded an editorial in the Global Times, saying that the Tiananmen incident demonstrated the “confidence” of the Chinese people in Chinese politics. This remark once again triggered a net bombard: “Look at the dead Chinese citizens who have confidence in (the so-called CCP)”; “Even according to your own standards, this is ridiculous nonsense. How can you use tanks against your own people? Will have a positive impact on them”; “So, (Chinese) democracy is coming?”; “You are scared. That is the nervous laughter we heard”; “The images of tanks and scattered corpses have now become Part of history cannot be changed.”
Some Chinese netizens responded by saying: “I don’t have the face anymore. If you have the ability to not delete the post to see the trend of public opinion?”; “The CCP should not forget the Tiananmen Square Massacre. Since then, they have slaughtered the Chinese people time and time again. They have slaughtered the Chinese people again and again. It’s really evil.”
