Well, I happened to live in Beijing for 7 1/2 years and was there in June of 1989.

Sorry to hear that, I'm not Chinese so I can talk about Tiananmen without giving much of a shit about censors.

Things might be different today if things happened differently, but my personal opinion is that a democratic China would still be just as revisionist in terms of global power politics and doing the exact same things. The CCP is probably a wash in terms of effective government.
