The fact that any other pro-democracy protests in China from that point on can be counted on one hand is quite frightening. And no more “student protest” from what I can find…
China, among others, isn’t great with letting their population progress away from the current power structure.
They are headed for decline anyhow. The corruption and boondoggles are still happening regardless of their media reporting on it and as a group the party was able to cover it’s ass fairly well over the years but now their focus is on protecting one Pooh Bear shaped individual. Divided priorities is leading to some epically bad decisions.
What decline? Chinese are so whipped CCP can do anything they want.
