He is one big thorn in their side though. They are scared to death of the Chinese people finding out about him or that whole event. The CCP's hold on power is actually quite fragile.

That's so true actually. I completely forgot that they actively censor the Tiananmen massacre in China. Took that for granted. Tank Man did enough to get censored by one of the most tyrannical governments in history.
Plus everyone in Tiannamen Square, after the famous photo, was shot by snipers and squashed to a bloody pulp by tanks, which were then ordered to run over the hundreds of corpses again and again until they were just a pool of goo.

Democratic republicanism is quickly degenerating into what they are.
It's our greedy elites who are letting them cuase the degeneration.
