I don't know how much credibility i'd put in the opinion by former ambassador Chas Freeman on the 'appeasement' practiced by the Chinese Government at Tiananmen. Freeman was the ambassador to Saudi Arabia [which would color his view of tolerance], and even had some CIA award in his collection of trophies... any more than i'd accept as anything approaching truth and facts about governmental activities by Margaret Thatcher... totally discredit Freeman's opinion.. but i look forward to next week's uncovering of the rationale of restraint in today's Chinese seeming lack of interest in defending their integrity at Tiananmen. That linked tweet sure seemed quite powerfully suggesting that today's China was different because of the intervening growth of their country... Seemed -- to this Westerner -- quite adequate to downgrade any Pompeo hypocrisy which in this internet day and age is humanly seeable for what it is, making CCP look so much more advanced. ttyl
