Hi there! It's actually the first time I edit a wikipedia article ad post things on talk page so I hope I'm not messing up :) Please correct me if I'm wrong!
Just wanted to state the rationale of the section I previously added (which has already been deleted). @HaeB I really appreciate your point that it will be great to include poll results that are specifically about the 1989 Tiananmen events! Unfortunately there isn't such a poll as this topic is censored in China. The reason I initially wrote about the development China made, the consequence of 1989 revolutions around the world and the survey results of how satisfied people are towards the government was that I wanted to provide some contextual information for the shift of the public opinion towards the Tiananmen protests, I was not trying to argue which path is superior, but only to describe what the public opinion on Chinese government was and used it as a context , so it may not be directly related to the Tiananmen events. However I still think it's important to include the facts of the general acceptance of the negative view on Tiananmen protests in contemporary China(i.e. quotes from former democrats, Chinese netizens advocating the government to use tanks on protestors in HongKong on social media, etc) because they are the facts that show that apart from regret and criticism, there is a different voice in China about the Tiananmen events, and this voice as well as why this voice is formed should be included in this online encyclopedia. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Auspicious bwszd|Auspicious bwszd]] ([[User talk:Auspicious bwszd#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Auspicious bwszd|contribs]]) 15:10, 10 April 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
