Tienanmen Square: 30 Years On
On June 4th 1989 thousands of peaceful protesters were brutally killed in Tienanmen square, as the Chinese government ordered military troops to open fire and run down protesters with tanks. 30 years later, the Chinese communist party has gone to great lengths to wipe any reference and discussion of what they simply call “June 4th”. We were joined by Chongyi Feng, associate professor in Chinese studies at the University of Technology, to discuss recent developments.
