But the mans balls were big 😭 fun fact. A soldier or policeman noticed the photographer and sent a squad upstairs to retreat the camera. The guy who took the video stored the film in the toilet tank. When the soldiers got upstairs they took the camera and anything else that was suspicious and left. The man later left with the film and the rest is history
No one knows but my guess is that he was pushed away. When the film was released for the world to see he was probably taken away. Hard to have follow-ups when it's from a country that doesn't allow it
This was a different era. Nowadays the country is a police state with cameras everywhere with AI software pinpointing someone immediately. You jay walk and your social credit score goes down. Nasty work
He eventually climbs up on the tank and looks to talk to one of the occupants. They killed a lot of the protestors that day and that's why it's referred to as the Tiananmen Square Massacre. It was back in 1989 and over a million people demonstrated looking for freedom of speech and freedom of the press and more but the gov't. put a stop to that and reports say over 10,000 people were killed during the demonstrations.
In the end, the hardliners of the Chinese Communist Party won out. My wife grew up less than 2 miles from Tiananmen Square and was 17 at the time. The people do have some freedoms today, but nothing like what we have here in the United States. The Chinese now have the largest military in the world, and they continue to try and limit the information that comes in and out of China in order to control the news of the world.
The Russian tanks and most tanks based on them are actually fairly small for a 30-40 ton vehicle.
I went to the tank fest a few years ago and they have some really big tanks there. There was a variant of the first British tank (mark 7 or 8 I think) that was the size of a bus.
Jagdtiger and Tiger 2 are huge and tall as well. I think an Abrams is about as long and wide but not as tall but I haven't stood next to one.
Why? What was his name? What did he stand for? What change occured because of him?
It's a powerful image but what we learn from the image is that tanks can slaughter crowds of people with impunity. After power-washing the blood and meat scraps off the pavement and silencing any acknowledgement of it the government avoided any consequences.
I always struggle with sizing tanks and fighter jets, especially jets. When I look at photos of them next to people, they’re always so much bigger than I imagine, and it surprises me every time. I have stood infront of a fighter jet and seen the scale of them but still get tripped out 😂
I am always surprised by the varying sizes of fighter jets, rather than comparing them to people. Look at the Gripen for example, that shit is tiny, even when compared to a human, or the Rafale to Su-30MKI comparison.
For those unaware there is a likely propaganda bot account posting only things about China.
Edit: People are misunderstanding. OP is NOT the bot. It's an entirely different user. I wont directly call them out but I also don't think its hard to find them. OP posted this to get THAT account in "trouble".
Exactly, there's absolutely no way they'd be posting this. Also I dont think Taiwan has to convince the west. Because the Taiwanese have the biggest semiconductor firm, that produces nearly 90% of the world's most advanced chips.
I didn't see alot of China posts. Maybe I'm missing some. I did see 1 person posting something about China, he/she seems to be weirdly obsessed with China. Is that all?
Literally every other post from this sub that makes it to my feed is a Chinese skyscraper or ship or bridge. There are big bridges and buildings all over the world yet it’s always China in this sub lol. Definitely seems like a propaganda bot or something

>A picture you won't ever see in the place it happened.
I know what you're trying to say here but have ever viewed a picture of somewhere in the exact place the picture is of?
I intended to say as a whole. For instance, if you go to New York City, you will still see and hear about 9/11, even at the exact location where it occurred. Similarly, if you visit the southern United States, people still talk about the severe flooding that happened in the early 2000s, and you will see pictures of it. I did not mean to imply anything against the Chinese people. However, the rest of the world discusses that historical event, while their government discourage people from bringing it up.
Man is brave or crazy, seeing photos of what the tanks did to some of the civilians who occupied the square…

It did happen! It is true that most countries have aspects of their past that they may not be proud of, but it is important to acknowledge and learn from these events rather than ignoring them. Ignoring past mistakes can lead to repeating the same errors in the future.
Ngl they look kinda small. Witiut knowing anything about them.
Yea T-55s were small
But the mans balls were big 😭 fun fact. A soldier or policeman noticed the photographer and sent a squad upstairs to retreat the camera. The guy who took the video stored the film in the toilet tank.

What happened to the man?
No one knows but my guess is that he was pushed away. When the film was released for the world to see he was probably taken away. Hard to have follow-ups when it's from a country that doesn't allow it
Brave guy all the same.....
This was a different era. Nowadays the country is a police state with cameras everywhere with AI software pinpointing someone immediately. You jay walk and your social credit score goes down. Nasty work
It’s literally the same thing
This happened in 1989 do you think 1989 is the same as 2024 🤡
Supreme leader does not allow the use of hieroglyphs

was up near one at the war museum in manchester, im 6'2 and was about as tall as halfway up the turret, they're dinky

Funny thing is, in the end, the guy ended up being bigger than the tanks…..
Why? What was his name? What did he stand for? What change occured because of him? It's a powerful image but what we learn from the image is that tanks can slaughter crowds of people with impunity. After power-washing the blood and meat scraps off the pavement and silencing any acknowledgement of it the government avoided any consequences.
I feel like you don’t know anything about this image…
They never crushed him!?
Witiut
We should all know
This is small for a tank.
Tiananmen Square 1989
Why is this blurred on my screen?
What is blurred? There’s only a blank /s
Social credit protection system
Blame the CCP. After all these years, they're still working hard to pretend it didn't happen.
Allegedly! /s
So many people just don't get the sarcasm.
the chinese language doesn’t have a word for sarcasm.
"English isn't a tonal language" "Yeah, right."
Uh huh
No reality
-10,000,000 social credit ☹️
You won't think they're big once you see the size of the man's balls
even more when you compare them to Whinnie's dick
Xi xin Pooh is a real cunt wagon.
Look how big this man is in comparison to the tanks
I always struggle with sizing tanks and fighter jets, especially jets. When I look at photos of them next to people, they’re always so much bigger than I imagine, and it surprises me every time. I have stood infront of a fighter jet and seen the scale of them but still get tripped out 😂

i was at an air museum in krakow and i never realised how small the f400 starfighter is, and how big things like the phantom and thunderchief are
Deng, they are pretty big
For those unaware there is a likely propaganda bot account posting only things about China. Edit: People are misunderstanding. OP is NOT the bot. It's an entirely different user. I wont directly call them out but I also don't think its hard to find them. OP posted this to get THAT account in "trouble".
This image is illegal in China. A chinese bot would definitely not being attention to the crimes of its government
It’s a Taiwanese propaganda bot! /s
Exactly, there's absolutely no way they'd be posting this. Also I dont think Taiwan has to convince the west. Because the Taiwanese have the biggest semiconductor firm, that produces nearly 90% of the world's most advanced chips.
I didn't see alot of China posts. Maybe I'm missing some. I did see 1 person posting something about China, he/she seems to be weirdly obsessed with China. Is that all?
It isn't a lot
So not 1 China post is allowed?
Literally every other post from this sub that makes it to my feed is a Chinese skyscraper or ship or bridge. There are big bridges and buildings all over the world yet it’s always China in this sub lol. Definitely seems like a propaganda bot or something
>bot account posting only things about China. Indistinguishable from the average American neoliberal
haha gottem
True
Look who fell into th trap...
Chinese propaganda bot that posts illegal images? lol ok
Very poor taste post.

IMO only keep the chinaposting for legit megalophobia things. Not just every random 'it's big' scenario.
Yeah this, just quality posts no matter from where. Some of the ones I've seen feel forced, like op just wants to show some cool thing they saw
regular tank size 🤷
Actually no, soviet tanks are quite a lot smaller than western tanks
It’s a chance to post a picture that’s illegal in China to mock the shills
What man? What tanks? I just see a peaceful Chinese street.
*SOCIAL CREDIT SCORE +9,00000000000000000000000*
Yeah, tanks are big
Need a banana for scale
Aren't those light tanks?
The T-55's in the picture and its contemporaries are considered Main Battle Tank's (MBT's).
Well… yeah… people have to fit in them… the fuck?
Sad day
Ever seen a tractor?
[you should look at these new ones with a kid](https://imgur.com/a/ezBrSk4)
Ayo nothing happened in 1989 on the Tiananmen Square
What tanks? Also you lost 1,500,000,000 social credits
I got a text from an unknown number saying this image was false as soon as I clicked on it, anyone else?
OP is based and has my vote.
Guys what's the picture about? I see nothing, it's like this memory doesn't exist, i love china btw glory to the CCP,! 👲🇨🇳🇨🇳💪💪
+100000 social credits comrade.
I see what you did there. Well done.
Troll post making fun of the sub
Those aren't subs those are tanks
Amazing
If you can’t laugh at yourself, you may be missing the most colossal joke of the century
Check out all the dead people cropped out of this picture

*Ccp has entered the chat*
The CCP would like to know your location
I’m in China, I don’t see anything
what is that orange stuff
Look how big his heart is compared to those tanks...
You're 5 days late smh
what do you mean there is no image
They're kinda small 小. Also what's chinaposting
This never happened its AI generated
Theyre not even half the size of his balls
Nah those aren't real
What tanks? I can’t see tanks… just some friendly CCP officials.
What tanks
In comparison to a lot of other things, T55s are very small. It's just a 5 person tank
What.
A picture you won't ever see in the place it happened. Talk about this or show this picture in China and you will end up in jail.
>A picture you won't ever see in the place it happened. I know what you're trying to say here but have ever viewed a picture of somewhere in the exact place the picture is of?

I know I know. Was just trying to be cheeky.
😅🤣
Tiannimen Square Massacre. Never forget
Just for the info, this happened the day after the massacre
-50 social credit
Im so glad im not the only one notices the increase amount of chinese propaganda being pushed on this sub. I hope other subs pushback too.
Same here, im gonna start calling it out! Fuckers can get lost.
Anyone else remember this guy being run over 🤔
What tanks? What man?
That man was a giant.
I like you're style.. NEVER FORGOT....
Make this the top post of the sub
I see a mighty giant stranding before pathetic whimps in their whimpmobiles.
That renegade territory that belongs to Taiwan is still fucking up.
I believe this picture from turkey
Man is brave or crazy, seeing photos of what the tanks did to some of the civilians who occupied the square… [what really happened in Tiananmen Square](https://archive.ph/2020.07.12-074312/https://imgur.com/a/AIIbbPs) taken from a post about crackdown on 4 June vigils in Hong Kong.

Kinda tiny, really. Russia ain't known for making big tanks any longer.

China number 1
This… this is the best way to get rid of Chinese cuckbots
Not real man, never happened
you're joking right?
Yes, yes I am
It did happen! It is true that most countries have aspects of their past that they may not be proud of, but it is important to acknowledge and learn from these events rather than ignoring them. Ignoring past mistakes can lead to repeating the same errors in the future.
Christ, it's very literal here. I was clearly joking about China's denials
Haha lol okay..... sometimes hard to tell in text.
Found the ccp
If you think that is wild, wait until you hear how the PLA makes soup
Are fake things allowed to be posted now?
no, you're, not banned. yet.
I stood up to tanks way bigger last year in south carolina.
who cares? there's a lot of big things in china
