"no students were harmed. The armed rioters outside the square were killed in combat that they initiated and refused to back down from. They had to be stopped because they were destroying the city and harming the citizens.

Ofc the Chinese government won't let people celebrate citizen murdering, capitalist funded, armed rioters"

I'm pretty sure they'd say exactly that.

The ground them into paste with tank treads and washed their remains into the sewers. There's photos of that online...

It took so long to break the protest because they had to assemble forces from across China since locals were too sympathetic and wouldn't wantonly slaughter them if they refused to back down once confronted by the state. The state wasn't willing to risk that until it had a gun that fired when commanded.
