Both images are a bit misleading.

Certainly the Chinese images are misleading because they leave out June 4, 1989. But the Western images are misleading because they foreground June 4, 1989.
Tiananmen Square has a long history in China. It was a place for
protest and public gathering long before June 4, 1989, and yet we
don't see these images at the top of the Western search.
Tiananmen Square is also an icon of patriotism, where families visit
and have their photos taken in front of Chairman Mao, where many
national holidays are celebrated. Where are these images in the
Western search?
