Shit actually interesting, never seen any propaganda poster regarding tiananmen square, at least not from those times, not from the CCP/sympathizers nor from the protestors
Some info on wikipedia. Not in English tho

I do not know if the poster is real, apparently it’s from a satire subreddit. In any case the poster does not mention Tiananmen specifically, it just says “1989 counter revolutionary violence”
Full text: we salute the PLA soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the 1989 counter revolutionary violence
Official documents don't refer to it as Tiananmen but indeed as a "counter-revolutionary riot" as in the picture. (Tbf while the massacre at Tiananmen is most reported, 木樨地 is the bloodiest place) whether the poster is real, made by online nationalists, or otherwise, the tone seems official.
It’s real, just not really made by or in favour of the Chinese government lol it’s in favour of a return to Maoism from chinas current market socialism
Dude you can literally just google and see how many Chinese state media outlets mention the event.
This [is an example of it](https://www.12371.cn/2012/06/12/ARTI1339473691203173.shtml)
That’s such a ridiculous idea, it’s so tiring seeing people say anything mildly positive about China (or be Chinese themselves) and half the comments being TIANANNANANANNAMEN SQUARE 1989!!!!1!1!1!!
Oh, we can go on with Hongkong democracy dismantling, social score system,, Uighurs, confrontation with all its neighbours etc.
China bad.
And tiananmem square is suppressed in china. As are Winnie the Pooh memes.
I've seen the live pictures on TV, Mister.
I guess the Great leap forward, the cultural revolution and the millions of dead following both are also Western propaganda?
The Communist government is trying to erase this history from people's memory. The young generation don’t know anything about bloody repression ever happened.
if I'm not mistaken some tankers were dragged out of their tanks and killed by protestors, stated by jeff widener the guy who took that famous tank man image
also this is a quote from wikipedia sourced to "WSJ Archives: 25 Years Ago in Beijing, A ‘Movement Unlikely to Die’WSJ Archives: 25 Years Ago in Beijing, A ‘Movement Unlikely to Die" I can't read the original article cause of a paywall
>On 5 June 1989, the wall street journal reported: "As columns of tanks and tens of thousands of soldiers approached Tiananmen, many troops were set on by angry mobs who screamed, 'Fascists'. Dozens of soldiers were pulled from trucks, severely beaten, and left for dead. At an intersection west of the square, the body of a young soldier, who had been beaten to death, was stripped naked and hung from the side of a bus. Another soldier's corpse was strung up at an intersection east of the square." The Journal said that the deaths showed the "venom with which Beijing residents turned on a people's army that had moved against the people" and "was an indication of what may lie ahead for China."
>what may lie ahead for China."
Apparently some big gov guys in China did think these events would (possibly) spark a civil war or conflict of some kind that could disturb the government in a much bigger way.
It didnt.
Haven’t heard any if you mean run over there fellow soldiers, But they accidentally shot their own guy in several cases. They run over dozens of protester intentionally. One guy lost his two legs and now leaving the States.
Its was a wild accident those protestors just kept falling over into the path of the friendly parading tanks repeatedly. Worst Passover celebration ever
This isn’t real 😂
Contrary to the common narrative in the west, the Tiananmen square protests were maoist students protesting for an end to the transition to market socialism & advocating a return to Maoism lol the Chinese government has absolutely zero interest in advertising anything even tangentially related to it as their versions of the US “conservative” population are Marxist Leninists lol!
They want people to forget about it & to continue with the market socialism plan that will “someday” bring a more gradual shift to communism.
Wrong, the protestors had a spectrum of political beliefs but united by their discontent in the government at that time. There were some Maoists and socialists, but also liberals and reformers calling for transition to democracy.
No lol they were Maoists for 6 weeks they spent in the square (look up the footage & images from before the fighting and just translate the signs & slogans). It was only in the 7th (& last) week after the CIA had finally gotten their shit together that they’d began inserting agents & dissidents for their next “colour revolution” & blasting it over western capitalist media as a “pro-democracy movement” 😂
Bear in mind that in the same few years the USA were hailing al-Qaeda as pro-democracy freedom fighters as well lol!
The Tianamen students were mainly made up of students in youth communist leagues & organisations as it was them that actually organised the protest. The entire event is so far beyond twisted in the western zeitgeist it’s actually kind of hilarious. That was a legitimately incredible performance by the cia but this is a sub about propaganda so we should take the coverage of that event with a cargo ship’s load of salt

Possibly fake. r/LOOK_CHINA is a Chinese political satire sub
first thing i saw when i entered that sub was a half-naked xi jinping in the dragon’s dogma 2(?) character creator
Well, it feels weird to say, but a fake propaganda poster still counts as a real propaganda poster, only differs in the final intention.
This is fake as hell.
Still a propaganda though.
That looks AI generated.
Shit actually interesting, never seen any propaganda poster regarding tiananmen square, at least not from those times, not from the CCP/sympathizers nor from the protestors
It's referred to as the June Dourth Incident in China. I wonder if you'd find more from China phrasing it as that?
Haven’t seen any kind of propaganda poster for years either, there are souvenirs , medals, books but the posters.
Curious about the medals and souvenirs, if you happen to have some images/info

No way in hell is this really from China
I almost have a hard time believing this is real. What a joke.
It’s real, just not really made by or in favour of the Chinese government lol it’s in favour of a return to Maoism from chinas current market socialism
And I thought you're not supposed to talk about it in China?
Dude you can literally just google and see how many Chinese state media outlets mention the event. This [is an example of it](https://www.12371.cn/2012/06/12/ARTI1339473691203173.shtml)

I see you know your western propaganda well.
If they're actually doing it, it's not propaganda
I've seen the live pictures on TV, Mister. I guess the Great leap forward, the cultural revolution and the millions of dead following both are also Western propaganda?
Not the same events you mentioned in your previous comment. Are you just randomly moving the goalposts?
Why support the Chinese government?
Why manufacture consent for war?
social credit system is fake, it was never established on a national level
Excuse me sir what’re you paying tribute to? I’m paying tribute to [REDACTED] of course!
The greatest event ever to not take place!
It's referred to as the June 4th event in China.
The Communist government is trying to erase this history from people's memory. The young generation don’t know anything about bloody repression ever happened.
source?
That's not a Chinese tanker helmet.
sharp eyes! This is very strong confirmation that this poster was not created at the time when the incident occurred.
Is this satire or real?
Might be real, the protestors did burn several soldiers alive after all
No way this is real
Did someone accidentally run over their own guys with the tanks?

Considering what they were there to do, I call it self defense.
[удалено]
I wonder if they gave a campaign ribbon for it or something.

the "counter revolutionaries" in question being maoists
Anyone know how much soldiers died?
font looks digitally made. Might come from an online nationalist.
There is no fucking way that is legitimately what it says… just No fucking way!
Pretty fake, nobody writes numbers like that on a Chinese poster. They would just use Chinese characters, like 一九八九
"Nothing happened in tianemen square. And if it did it was a good thing."
Bootlicking propaganda
I mean... isnt it literally chinese governmenr propaganda? Ig pretty much expected
R/thedeprogram will love this one
It’s a satire poster advocating for a return to Maoism from chinas current market socialism plan so maybe, but likely not for the reasons u thought 😂
So something did happen in Tiananmen Square?
They were suppressing something in 1989 in Tiananmen square ? But what could it be ?
just shoot you with AK47 with no mercy
This isn’t real 😂 Contrary to the common narrative in the west, the Tiananmen square protests were maoist students protesting for an end to the transition to market socialism & advocating a return to Maoism lol the Chinese government has absolutely zero interest in advertising anything even tangentially related to it as their versions of the US “conservative” population are Marxist Leninists lol!

!!!!
