In the wake of the 35th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, a social media post by New Zealand internet personality Andy Boreham claimed that the massacre was a myth created by the United States and quoted leaked diplomatic cables to support the dismissal of the event. However, a fact-check by Deutsche Welle revealed that while the exact death toll remains uncertain, there is evidence confirming the violent military crackdown during the June 1989 protests in China, refuting the narrative of a bloodless incident fabricated by the West. The post received significant engagement and spread misleading information regarding the events of the Tiananmen Square protests.
