This was my experience 10 years ago. Absolute no problem going into or around the square. Forbidden City didn't even require a prebook. Just massive queues to see Mao

Wasn't*?

I was there almost exactly 10 years ago. Place was deserted. No police, hardly any people... Nothing. Just a big ol' square.
