You're probably right.

From the Wiki:
Official figures

  • Some of the early estimates were based on reports of a casualty figure of 2,600 from the Chinese Red Cross, which was quickly retracted.
  • On June 6, State Council spokesperson Yuan Mu claimed that preliminary tallies by the government showed that about 300 civilians and soldiers died, including 23 students from universities in Beijing, along with a number of people he described as "ruffians".[135] Some 5,000 soldiers and police along with 2,000 civilians were wounded.
  • On June 19, Beijing Party Secretary Li Ximing reported to the Politburo that the government's confirmed death toll was 241, including 218 civilians (including 36 students), 10 PLA soldiers and 13 People's Armed Police, along with 7,000 wounded.[143][144]

Although it has nothing to do with Bundy, there were a number of studets run over by a tank on Liubukou street, adjacent to Tiananmen Square during the 1989 protests.
Plenty other folks been run over by the Chinese military as well, but getting any anti-state story from there is pretty difficult.

You think our government is bad....
