Yeah, and I heard the protest those tanks were off to stop was against opening up China's markets to western trade.
It's just interesting that the brutality is what's remembered, not what the protestors (who I believe were mostly students and factory workers) were protesting.
My understanding was they were protesting pro-capitalist trade reforms.
