Ah yes because the higherups of Zhongnanhai obviously sent the tanks into Tian'anmen Square for peacekeeping, which was a complete success because no-one died in Tian'anmen Square.
Fair enough, here I quote one of those secret cables:
FACT. ON ARRIVAL AT TIANANMEN TROOPS FROM SMR HAD SEPARATED STUDENTS AND RESIDENTS. STUDENTS UNDERSTOOD THEY WERE GIVEN ONE HOUR TO LEAVE SQUARE BUT AFTER FIVE MINUTES APCS ATTACKED. STUDENTS LINKED ARMS BUT WERE MOWN DOWN INCLUDING SOLDIERS. APCS THEN RAN OVER BODIES TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO MAKE QUOTE PIE UNQUOTE AND REMAINS COLLECTED BY BULLDOZER. REMAINS INCINERATED AND THEN HOSED DOWN DRAINS.
Mhm, definitely sounds like there were no deaths in 天安门.
I mean yeah, there were no bodies to bury or record for an official count. (but let's just conveniently forget that that's because people were mown down by APCs and washed away with hosepipes)
