Imagethief has a reading of a pro-China political party's chairperson, Ma Lik's comment about June 4 massacre: Ma Lik wants not only to redefine the language that is used to describe the Tiananmen Square events, but that he wants to institutionalize that redefinition as a pre-requisite for universal suffrage in Hong Kong.

    It seems the US government’s “official narrative” on Kent State does not use the term “massacre”, but some neutural verbage that convey the notion “gee, we weren’t hell bent on shooting those people…”

    So we Americans can do, but they can’t?
