In this article on baidu, there is a gap between 1988 and 1999, why is there nothing about some kind of protest that everyone keeps telling me about?


Edit: Thank you for responding, you have taught me a great deal about the usage and necessity of propaganda, counter-propaganda and censorship in a Marxist-Leninist state like China. Although some relied upon lies and insults as a means of trying to win an argunent, I got actual contentful theoretical education out of this, thanks.

I think the bigger question is if this is mostly for a Chinese audience why do they need to mention the event everywhere? How long do they need to keep self flagellating until they have made penance and will be forgiven for whatever transgressions occurred?

And why would they need to promote it on a tourism website?

Even a quick search of this term in Baidu will bring up results with the term 政治风波.

Here is ProleWiki’s article.

It might not be mentioned because, although there were protests in the square, all deaths were in streets near the square instead of in the square itself.

It's probably censored because it's a politically sensitive topic. From my reading, the article is meant to promote tourism and pride in national monuments, not to discuss history in detail. Mentioning those events is seen as encouraging social unrest.

How about this, why doesn't it mention the October 28th 2013 terrorist attack? https://baike.baidu.com/item/10%C2%B728%E6%9A%B4%E5%8A%9B%E6%81%90%E6%80%96%E8%A2%AD%E5%87%BB%E6%A1%88/12022667
