Let's put it this way. Even a person is sentenced to prison wrongfully/innocently/by mistake, government won't say sorry to him/her (no apology).
Back to the 6.4 event, according to the public (or most people) the government took a wrongful action to those students. However, there could be two possibilities from the China government's pov: 1. they knew they did wrong, but just want to keep their faces so they can't apologize or they think they don't need to; 2. they still think they did right, so what's the point to apologize?!. |
