Firstly, I would like to mention that I do believe that the Tiananmen Square Massacre happened.
I often encounter 2 contradictory arguments supporting the PRC:
The massacre was a Western fabrication.
Western media twisted the story of a violent revolt into one of peaceful protesters being crushed.
Where can I find a trustworthy source on this? And how can I be sure that my sources are not tainted by either pro- or anti-PRC agenda?
Hi there! I provided some hopefully useful sources here.
Hi there anyone interested in recommending things to OP! While you might have a title to share, this is still a thread on /r/AskHistorians, and we still want the replies here to be to an /r/AskHistorians standard - presumably OP would have asked at /r/history or /r/askreddit if they wanted non-specialist opinion. So give us some indication why the thing you're recommending is valuable, trustworthy, or applicable! Posts that provide no context for why you're recommending a particular podcast/book/novel/documentary/etc, and which aren't backed up by a historian-level knowledge on the accuracy and stance of the piece, will be removed.
