Does anybody have any sources disproving the Tianenmen Square hoax? My mother keeps repeating disinformation, and I’m trying to correct her. Any sources would be very much appreciated.

Double check the quote in your first link, it’s used saying that there was a massacre bigger than the Tiananmen square
I think it has done its objective. There was no massacre in the square. These are reports from “credible news sources” admitting the propaganda. We can not expect them to be fully positive.
