> We see Tiananmen Square pop up all the time not because of its major historical significance, but because of the attempts by certain governments to censor it.
My understanding is most young Chinese know nothing about Tiananmen Square because the Chinese government has in fact been very successful in censoring it within their borders.
NZ may have quite a ways to go until their internet censorship regime is as effective as China’s great firewall though.
I haven't read the manifesto and I have no desire to, but I still fear a government that would imprison me for reading it more than I fear terrorists. Terrorists are rare; such a government is an ever present threat.
