I've seen lots of pictures of Hong Kong protests, and hear about rent protests in Beijing, but haven't seen many photos like this in Beijing proper in the 21st century. Are they that good at scrubbing the web, or did I just miss them?

China's internet is isolated from the rest of the world. We would be looking at a lot of content created from china if it wasn't like that.

The Tiananmen Square protest and massacre happened in 1989.

Yes, that would be the 20th century.

I think they're saying that, in the 21st century they haven't seen many pictures of the event. Not that they haven't seen pictures from the 21st century.
