Maybe UveBeenNudged1 got promoted out of 50 Cent Party and his reward is assignment as a master troll at Patrick.net.

The majority of under-25 Chinese do not know the story of Tank Man or the broader Tiananmen Square events of June 1989. This conclusion stems from decades of systematic censorship by the Chinese government, which has effectively erased the incident from public memory, education, and online discourse for younger generations. Under-25s (born post-2000) have grown up in an era of economic prosperity and nationalism, where the event is taboo and rarely discussed, leading to widespread ignorance or apathy. Awareness is limited to a small minority—often those with international exposure, higher education, or VPN access to foreign media—but even then, it's fragmented and not the full story of the pro-democracy protests crushed by the military, resulting in hundreds to thousands of deaths.

This is excellent news for young Chinese couples that want to buy a house or condo.
China's home ownership rate is 90%. Pretty much anyone who wants on has one. The percentage of people having multiple houses is 25% (so there's some uptake possible there).
