Just trying to figure out why you decided moving the goal post was the right call instead of addressing the actual subject matter.
They didn't move the goal post. You used one event to compare another. It is perfectly legitimate therefore to talk about the original event. You may wish the most recent US event to be the topic of discussion, which is fine, but that doesn't mean it's illegitimate for the original Chinese event to also be discussed.
If you didn't want Tiannamen Square to be discussed you shouldn't have posted an image of Tiannamen Square.
I'm fine with the topic of Tiannamen Square but that looked like a copypasta that didn't address the compliance topic. They had something they needed to say and dropped it in with no attempt actually tie it to this post instead of TS in general.
