In Tianananmen do not take by mouth

Jiang Zemin accidentally dies, among others, amid what some say is “the biggest protest mobilization from Tiananmen.” And, as could not be otherwise, if the relation of the deceased with these facts has been remembered in all the obituaries, that is, insufficient and incorrectly, neither are the “experts” who have undertaken the search for affinities between 33 years ago and now. Well, Tiananmen's name shouldn't be used as cheap. Per hour and current.

But to do so, you have to have a little sense of looking for the truth through the facts, and it often seems that it does not exist. Or that the culture of copy&paste, when there is more information possibilities than ever, leaves us with less delegations than ever before. Because you also reject the most comfortable instructions by hand, somebody knows why.

33 years ago, it ended in Tiananmen Square, a real political crisis of the system in China. The most serious after the Cultural Revolution. Unlike that of 1976, it also had a clear social root, as well as a profound trend within political power.

I say I'd finished with Tiananmen, because I hadn't been there either. The party summit discrepancies came almost three years earlier, 13. From the preparation of Congress. And the first manifestation of the social crisis, precisely, occurred in Shanghai, where Jiang Zemin had direct command, months before the start of Tiananmen. Jiang’s management of the Shanghai crisis was a decisive factor, following the “clean-up” of Tiananmen Square by tanks sent by Deng Xiaoping and compass, in reorganising Party leadership.

It's written. Not in visible official sources in China, but yes, for example, in the illuminating memories of Brent Scowcroft, Homeland Security Adviser to the Bush/Father.

The last weekend of November of this year, in many Chinese cities, near the universities of the C9 League (Tsingua, Beida, Fudan, Jiaotong...), in most cases, it is necessary that those hundreds of boys and girls we have seen gathered with their clothes and with the latest generation Iphone or Xiaomi can cause a serious crisis. Or in what's called collapse, a pretty blind faith. And a certain lack of knowledge of the sociology (and politics) of the Chinese elite centers starting from these young people.

But what's considered that the Zero-COVID-19 strategy is simply the output of Xi Jinping, you can believe anything else.
