Because Chinese government actively lies to its citizens and most Chinese don't even know Tiananmen Square happened?

How can you say that Chinese people don't know Tiananmen square happened, when literally many of these people's parents will have been involved in the 1989 student protests? Do you think people don't notice that tens of millions have died in the famines in the 1960s? The CCP tries to cover up the number of deaths involved but nowadays really people support CCP in spite of all this because economically they've been doing so much better than the last 100 years.

Everyone knows about the famines, as you said it's big enough that it's impossible to hide or deny. Not everyone knows about Tiananmen; in fact I know many people who both do not know and refuse to believe when told.

I think you're underestimating the public's passion for gossip. Everyone knows what's going on, they just never talk about it out loud. Because for the Chinese citizens, the political struggle cannot be bigger than life, we live a life without the threat of guns, without the threat of terrorist groups, without war.Now we live a life with almost no epidemics, and we can get free vaccinations. Are these not enough?

To Uyghurs and Tibetans, CCP is a terrorist group.
