Sounds like they’re doing a shit job of it to be fair, given that the article itself says that [state media have posted the very image](https://sports.cctv.com/2023/10/01/PHOAdbj0d5ULp97R1NlHbi03231001.shtml#lrmN8psjUb9T231001_1).
Nothing happened in Tiananmen Square on the 4th of June 1989.
Wasn’t this exact article posted yesterday?
Saw the Guardians claiming something similar which was debunked by Twitter notes
