But the Chinese Red Cross estimate of 2,600 was retracted and was the highest estimate.

Modern scholars estimate 700 to 2,600 dead in or around the square during the massacre. Do you have a source showing that the Chinese Red Cross estimate was the highest one?

Stop moving the goalpost. Find the source that says more and evaluate its validity, then if you find one come back and add it to the discussion.
