Tiananmen Square

Tanks have been continually rumbling in my mind and heart since the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre 34 years ago. We will commemorate the anniversary Sunday.

China has been contending with a wave of protests over the country's strict zero-COVID policy.

Wang Dan told Newsweek that even if the Chinese Communist Party sends in armed troops like it did 33 years ago, "the end will be different from 1989."

The video's location has been given by many as being shot in Henan, where protests are taking place. But the footage was likely shot somewhere else.

Hong Kong has banned vigils and gatherings marking the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests amid what is viewed by critics as an effort by China to crack down on political dissent.

Victoria Park saw heavy police presence on Saturday as concerns arose that it might be used for "illegal activities."

Because we are in different political camps, especially in a democracy, that does not mean we are sworn enemies.

Footage labeled "Tank Man" has been shared on social media showing a man standing in front of a Russian convoy as it barrels down the road.

For the past few years, China has cracked down on any attempts to commemorate the 1989 massacre of protesters. Now, the university says it posed "legal risks."

The sculpture, by Danish artist Jens Galschiøt, was erected in Hong Kong in 1997. It was pulled down under a shroud of secrecy on Thursday.

The organizers were charged with inciting subversion of a state power under Hong Kong's national security law.

Four pro-democracy activists with Tiananmen vigil organizer the Hong Kong Alliance were detained by police on Wednesday.

A new amendment to Hong Kong's Film Censorship Ordinance gives the government the ability to censor films seen as a threat to national security. The move further aligns Hong Kong with the practices of Beijing and the Chinese mainland.

In recent months, Xiaohongshu had made similar posts on Fridays to celebrate the coming weekend.

"Was the 'accidental human' who made the error by any chance the head of China Marketing for Microsoft?" the Texas senator tweeted early Saturday.

Large parts of Victoria Park, where people have gathered in past years, were cordoned off ahead of the vigil. Police told people not to participate in unauthorized assemblies, which could mean a five-year penalty.

Blinken also noted that police in Hong Kong banned a Tiananmen Square vigil to honor the victims. Authorities in China said that the gathering was against COVID-19 mitigation restrictions.

Each year, tens of thousands of people flock to Hong Kong's Victoria Park to pay tribute to those killed when China's military drove tanks through student-led pro-democracy protests on June 4, 1989.

When the next crisis comes, we should not surrender our liberty to experts and bureaucrats.

The Chinese Communist Party has cracked down on events commemorating the 1989 massacre. The party also says that only 200 citizens died in the event—a British source says the number is closer to 10,000.

The top editor of a Chinese government-controlled paper accused the U.S. of hypocrisy.

For most of the world, the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre recalls familiar yet macabre vignettes of hopeful students and the iron tanks that crushed them, along with their cries for freedom.

A report out of Hong Kong has predicted mass arrests, prosecutions and disqualifications from public office for those who attend the vigil marking 31 years since the massacre in Beijing.

Thousands of protesters descended on the city's Victoria Park on June 4 to mark the anniversary of the massacre, despite police refusing permission for them to do so.

"When a meeting is held across different countries, the participants within those countries are required to comply with their respective local laws," a Zoom spokesperson said on Wednesday.

Hu Xijin—the editor of the Global Times newspaper—accused the U.S. of exporting civil unrest but being unable to deal with its own.

China has gobbled up the territory's freedom, undeterred by protests and international condemnation. Who's next?

All signs point to China and the world mutually closing their doors to each other, and as a member of the Chinese diaspora, that's what I hate to see.

One of America's leading China experts reflects on the 31st anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests.

There are special purposes only Hong Kong can serve for Beijing, especially as President Donald Trump's economic iron curtain falls.
