I would suggest that more Americans know about Wuhan’s biolab and wet market

What's funny is that rumors of a highly contagious flu-variant were springing up around the Ft Detrick biolab in Maryland months before the outbreak in Wuhan. This information has been entirely blotted out of US News services in large part because American counterintelligence flagged it as a means of propagating Chinese branded COVID Propaganda.

My junk folder is not really comparable to Governments censoring history.

Libertarians keep telling me that America.gov is a problem but America.com is the solution.

I still think that Americans would recognise Wuhan more than Tianmen.

We had the "Tank Man" photo squarely in the center of the first page of our "Intro to China" section of World History, way back in high school. It is the singular event Americans are taught about the country, practically from day one of their social studies education.
