Americans can be so rude sometimes…
BEIJING (Reuters) - China opposes the “rude interference” of the United States in calling for a full accounting of the crackdown on the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, the official Xinhua news agency said on Wednesday.
“The U.S. statement is a groundless criticism and attack on China,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao was quoted as saying in a statement.
The State Department issued a statement on Sunday, the 17th anniversary of the pro-democracy protests bloodily put down by Chinese troops, calling for a re-evaluation by China which has branded the protests subversive.
“The U.S. urges China to provide a full accounting of the thousands who were killed, detained, or went missing and of the government role in the massacre,” spokesman Sean McCormack said in a statement.
China considers the incident history and closed to further questions.

According to everyone I talk to…you made all this up.
Very convincing Hollywood special effect of killing and shooting.
Hollywood has faked so many things in history, such as the walk on the moon and the Challenger explosion.
You can’t believe everything people tell you…like everyone I talk to.
