But, there is a lot of misinfo surrounding it. Like “Thousands died on the square”. Probably not true. Probaby 200 - 500 civilians died, and several dozen soldiers
I presume it is no coincidence that this death toll is almost exactly in line with the CCP’s official estimates.
But the Chinese Red Cross estimate of 2,600 was retracted and was the highest estimate.
Modern scholars estimate 700 to 2,600 dead in or around the square during the massacre. Do you have a source showing that the Chinese Red Cross estimate was the highest one?

I mean, even if it is, 200 people is a bloody massacre. If that’s the charitable figure, it’s still fucking awful.

Stop moving the goalpost. Find the source that says more and evaluate its validity, then if you find one come back and add it to the discussion.
Where did I move the goal post?
