I must have tried every possible spelling combination except the right one, including the one we were taught in school during the Dark Ages, Tse-tung, even though it didn't start with z. (The name of "The Little Red Book" is Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung.) I came close with Zadong and Zaedong, but apparently not close enough.

Satin is artificial while silk is natural, so I don't think satin should be accepted.

YOU obligated to find out any and all acceptable spellings of Mao s name and for non Chinese speakers you should be very lenient , instead you have people hacking for 2 minutes at any spelling except the exact one you mandated , one glitch in my opinion you should correct because i missed that one while i knew the answer

Nahhhh, Zedong is the correct pinyin for 泽东. Pinyin is the official romanization of the People's Republic of China. Today he is widely referred to with this given name.

Qin and Qing are both different dynasty, so the 'g' is pretty important as Qin and Qing have different meaning and voice.

No massacre at Tiananmen square. Baseless propaganda , which is already debunked 30 years ago. There was about 11 students died at the Square in and accident with an APC. Most deaths were not students but victims of clashes between ambushed PLA soldiers and violent rioters (not students) armed with petrol bombs and stolen rifles. Even western sources confirms this. In the famous video clip, where a man is standing in front of a tank, tanks are going away from Tiananmen square. Carl Zha had a good 3 episode podcast "my Tiananmen memories", but seem to be taken down by Youtube censorship, because we are not supposed to learn the truth. It can still be found at least in Patreon.
