You can talk about June 4th, 1989 in China. Chinese usually call it the "June 4th incident," which is what the government uses when referencing it in official statements on the subject.
And they can talk about it on its own terms (that is, more truthfully) because they don't have the obligatory ritual of painting the entire picture the CIA gave foreign media before they can talk about the actual facts.
Think you mean can talk, not can't, correct? In which case, I agree.
Yes, sorry. I phrased it differently on the first write and forgot to cancel the negative before posting, thanks for pointing it out.
No worries!
