our people held an opinion
'chinese government should/could/would/must not use bullets',
I understand it very well, I strongly support
this good-willing idea, I even promise that I would never
use bullets to our people if I am on the throne.

but it is naive to use one's own opinion as a pre-position. 6.4 event was like that.

Students and their advisers 100% believe
that government DARE not to do anything to them,
no matter what they are doing, as a result,
they IGNORE special-law for 2 weeks, finally
it turned out to be NAIVE OPINION
was too naive, when they forced Deng XiaoPing
nowhere to go, President Deng acted as a president.

it is simple,
I would not end the conflict that way if I were a president, the matter of fact is I was not president,
President Deng did what he should based on his best judgment and his loving of China and his responsibility
to 1.3 billion of chinese people.
