China has an autocratic regimen, it's difficult to gather what the population there truly thinks about US trade tariffs, when they all pretend they never even heard about Tianamen.

Not all of them pretend, many actually haven't heard about it. I know at least one older Chinese adult who came to the US for the first time recently and saw the videos on Youtube for the first time in her life. It was 30yrs ago has been pretty well suppressed by the censors.

The usual reaction I've seen when it is acknowledged (even if generally) is to note that it is "unhelpful" to talk about it.

In particular, it doesn't help the one doing the talking.
