Your strategy of pretending communists merely think west=lies and not west=truth, and of pretending communists believe China has no flaws, is unfortunately a common mischaracterization of communist analysis of China. The truth is that communists have a materialist analysis of China, one that focuses on the class chacter of Chinese society as a socialist state, and that common western allegations against China are simply wrong. Nobody thinks China has literally 0 flaws, just that the average western perception of China is wrong. As for Tian’anmen Square, there’s literally no evidence of the western-alleged student massacre of 10,000 on the square. Even Wikipedia now agrees with the official story that it was dispersed peacefully. What communists do not deny and in fact assert is that hundreds died on June 4th, 1989, in areas in Beijing surrounding the square. There’s video and photo evidence of this, not of some massacre on the square. This is actually an excellent example of western distortions of the truth.
