I think most of all the Tiananmen square incident was highly ironic. Let's not forget that the CCP considers it's "founding moment" to be the May 4th movement, a student protest movement that also took place in and around Tiananmen square and was also ruthlessly put down by military forced.
The "revolutionary" government of China came full circle and put down the very same kind of revolutionaries that would go on to form their own party 70 years earlier.
It's like 1984, war is peace, truth is lies, and revolutionaries are counter-revolutionaries.
At this stage, I don't see how any educated Chinese person could take the CCP's "revolutionary" credentials seriously.
