The analysis of previously unseen images obtained by "Le Monde" and leading testimonies provide a better understanding of how the Chinese regime gradually shifted to the violent repression of the student demonstrations in the spring of 1989.
Spring 1989, Tiananmen Square. At the heart of the student demonstrations, a young expatriate, Nathalie Trouveroy, films the Beijing protesters, their slogans, their enthusiasm and their fear with her Hi8 video camera. These images, which remained in a family setting for a long time, are unpublished archives obtained by Le Monde.
Her husband, Guy Trouveroy, was then a political adviser at the Belgian Embassy in Beijing. For seven weeks, the couple were privileged witnesses to the regime's hesitation, torn between dialogue, obstruction and repression of the demonstrators. When the movement turns in favour of democratic measures, the communist government sends tanks against the population. On the night of 3-4 June 1989, the massacre took place. The repression would spread throughout China.
Since then, the Chinese authorities have been trying to erase Tiananmen from the collective memory. But, thirty-eight years later, Nathalie Trouveroy's never-before-seen video and photo archives have come to light. With these family images, the Trouveroy couple intend to preserve the memory of the victims of the bloody repression of the Tiananmen movement.
Her footage has literally zero cases of any sort of violence being carried out against protestors.
13:55 shows soldiers next to bodies, covering some with tarps. A bit earlier we see bloodied protestors being carried away to receive medical attention by other protestors.
Can you share the screenshot? All I see is video footage of a laptop screen with an extremely grainy truck. The lady's verbal testimony is all we have for confirmation. And, this still does not show any violence being carried out against protestors. Just some vague images.
That is not her footage.
Yeah, there was so little violence and nothing happened so hard that the Chinese government has spent decades suppressing all information from its citizens.
.ml just shows how fucking deranged you all are.
It's like the onion: I only see the domain after some incredu-larity has ensued.
Strawman. I'm talking about the video in question. Don't try to to distract.
Nobody in this thread nor op watched the video, why would they, they already know everything they need to about the incident.
