That the trouble with meeting people from other side of the world we didn't get the same propaganda. In Europe I didn't got the tianamen thing. I was too young I guess but it was not surprising since I seen news turn coat in the Bush thingy. I discovered it on reddit and got the US version. I got the other side version from Lemmy. No state is clean in Europe too, media are hiding horrors in Africa fine during colonialism. I am not surprised about the lie. You will smile, I grow up in a small lost town in Europe and their was reputation that Asian were smart and american obese. That was before internet.
