No one in the movement wanted to get murdered. No one in the government wanted to murder a bunch of promising kids. No one in the broader Chinese population wanted to see the PLA gun down Chinese citizens. None of China’s trading partners wanted to see a human rights atrocity. 6/x

But that’s exactly what happened. Everyone got the result that no one wanted. Why? Because the movement over-reached, went too far, and made it so that the power structure had to destroy them to maintain itself. A tragic story. But why did they believe the Party would back down? 7/x
