It IMHO shouldn't be forgotten
Absolutely. When Deng Xiaoping took over, he hired a bunch of Madison Ave ad men to polish China's image so he could get rich off the West ... and inside China, you can't find "June 4" on the internet (but you might get a visit from the police if you try.) China's regime decided No one should remember that it murdered thousands of citizens for wanting moderate reform.
Since we do so much business with them ... it is good to keep in mind that the ruling regime did that ... and wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
