Gee,there's a surprise! I've read that if you look up "Tienanmen Square" in China just about all you get are sites that tell how beautiful and historic it is.

from article: "The English-language version of the encyclopedia speaks of a Japanese shipwreck off Taiwan in 1871, in which 54 crew members were beheaded by Taiwanese aborigines. Japan demanded compensation from China, only to be told that Taiwan was not within China's jurisdiction. The Chinese-language entry on Taiwan, meanwhile, is silent on the jurisdiction question."
