At least the CCP is open to criticism and debate about their actions back then.

If you go to Tiananmen today, you will see and hear a lot of discussion of this troubling time in China's recent history. Sure, sometimes the debate about one party authoritarian rule vs the colonial nature of Western-style democracy can get heated, but there are police around in clearly marked uniforms to make sure it doesn't get out of hand. Never again!

I thought the reference to clearly marked police was the icing on the cake, but people may not have read that far.

I don't think anyone who has been to Tiananmen Square can do anything but laugh at my comment.

Yes, that's one of the CCP's best qualities, to be sure. It's so rare to see a government actively encourage their citizens to discuss such major events,
