The Chinese government (amazingly in this day and age) still strictly controls all information in China. The vast, vast, vast majority of Chinese citizens have no idea what happened in 1989.
It will be interesting to see how Iran responds here. My sense is that they have far less control over information than China. Turning the military loose on their own citizens could therefore have significant consequences.
