A new book reveals that numerous atrocities that the United States had alleged to have been committed by its foes never happened to begin with.

Reveals? Seriously?

The hoax built around Tiananmen Square was a blueprint for US media campaigns aimed at showing the Chinese government in a bad light, as Washington went on to accuse Beijing of perpetrating a genocide against the Uyghur people in Xinjiang province.

Oh, please.

Keep your tankie apologist shit to yourself. Thanks.
