BTW, you cannot have a serious conversation with a real Chicom about Tiananmen Sq. They have all drunk the Kool Aid and just repeat the gov't. version like a Memorex cassette. Even plenty of the Mainlanders who live here will recite it for you and really believe it. My wife is one of them, though she was way too young at the time to know what was going on. Only one girl I know there actually has a western perspective of it and her English is as good as mine and she's probably read every book I've ever read - AND - she had never been outside of China before. Those are rare types.
