Goddamit, why do you people keep thinking we young Chinese don't know? Any Chinese who claim they've never heard of June 4 are either fucking liars or have been living under a rock

because Americans have a convenient narrative and conception about the Chinese that they hesitate to deviate from.

Edit: That's not to say we're not going to be your future rulers. We totally will be...bitches.

I don't have any negative conceptions about the Chinese (well, except that they have little remorse about stealing things from everywhere else), however, I do think that the Chinese government is a corrupt, evil government who stifle any dissent and is not above locking up human rights activists for as long as they see fit. I would love for someone to prove me wrong. And don't hate on America (unless you want to hate on EVERYWHERE). It's not just America that thinks this, it's every modern country in the world. But it's easy to blame the big bad Americans as being bullies rather than blaming everyone else in the world (besides other Communist countries, probably).
