What happened was a violent clash between US sponsored terrorists trying to hijack a wide-tent protest which dissipated quickly after the violence started.

Can you support this claim with evidence?

Given that cowbee has very kindly provided a source already I just wanna clarify that I didn't mean a clash among terrorists themselves, but among them and the government, I just lost a few words in the process of rewriting the sentence.

Another View of Tian'anmen by Sun Feiyang and Roderic Day is a good introduction to the backgrounds of the protest, its distortion and foreign-backed influence, and western media distortion of both the context and the events of June 4th themselves. For further reading, Qiao Collective's Tian'anmen Protests Reading List has a lot more you can dive into. Both should give you a better understanding of the non-western viewpoint on what's officially called in China as the "June 4th Incident."
