The images are shocking. Armoured tanks plow into crowds of people, flames from burning buses light up the night sky, and bleeding bodies are rushed to hospital. For weeks student protesters in Beijing's Tiananmen Square have been demonstrating for political reform of China's communist government. A declaration of martial law has failed to quell the protests, and now the government has called in the military. Death is all around as the CBC's Tom Kennedy reports.
The massacre begins shortly after midnight as tanks and armoured personnel carriers roll through the streets, crushing hastily erected barricades and into Tiananmen Square. After launching tear gas and using loudspeakers to order people to leave, the army starts shooting. But the protesters fight back, beating army officers or simply standing their ground. They form human walls around foreign press to make sure the story gets out to the world.

This is the root of Western disrespect of China. Mikey, do you have any logical argument for that? I simply do not buy it. God is rooted in childhood indoctrination. It is like "Hitler is above all laws, including the Finnish"
This represents the frustration of the Chinese. The West are brainwashed with a self-supremacy deity. They are willing to KILL ALL for their barbaric almighty.
Christians must learn to live with diversity.

Do you have any logical basis for this other than your own personal beliefs? What makes your own religion better than anyone else's?
And speak not of brainwashing. There are many people in China who don't even know riots occurred in 1989.
I ask you, if China is not doing anything wrong, then why have they covered this up? Why is it that you cannot Google this video from within China?
Just a comment, ... ( 3 months ago by Suzutsuki)
Just a comment, Christianity is the fastest growing religion in China. They say that at its current growth, it will be the country with the largest Christian population in the world within 20 years.
Suzutsuki, the ... ( 3 months ago by uvgarden)
Suzutsuki, the simple fact is: Christianity failed in China for 2000 years. The so-called Christians in China have ABSOLUTELY nothing in common with Western Christians. They worship Buddha and Confucius at the same time. Christian church is the worst source for any news.
Suzutsuki, do you ... ( 3 months ago by uvgarden)
Suzutsuki, do you speak a word in Chinese. China is not obligated to explain these to stupid foreign dumbasses.

A bunch Anglos in their 40s supposedly from Students for Free Tibet went to Tiananmen. Despite language barrier, their protests drew crowds of angry Chinese. Surprisingly perhaps, Western media claims the pro-China crowd is "hired" by Chinese government. Like the Western protesters, the pro-China protesters were also escorted away. But it is reported by the paranoid Western media as "disappeared into security service." In this case, the Christian West thorough insulted the Chinese people again.

You know i had lot of respect for China for my whole life(as i'm Chinese), like i would always support China if anyone mad fun of China i would fight them. But when my brother told me about Tiananmen Square it was like a dagger going through my child hood. I never knew about this ever happening. And i have to say when i found out about it i was freakin pissed.

Communism isn't awful, I honestly think that communism would work in Iran rather than America's god damn "democracy". Communism, however, will not last forever and Iran will eventually have to change. Otherwise, Iran will end up just like this.

Obviously the troops were attacked by a violent mob. There was no choice but firing back for the soldiers to protect themselves. Had US National Guard being attacked like that, I have no doubt the mob will be fired upon.
The trick of Western media is to make-believe those convoy burning rioters were doing it for democracy, so they can burn, they can assult the troops, they born no responsibility.
Watch the tankman video see how extremely restrained and accommodating PLA were.

everyone have their right to express their opinion. Some people will argue that tianan men square masacre was a brutal and inhumane event that killed thousands of innocents. Others will argue that no such thing ever happpened and it was only USA who used it for propaganda purposes. I tend to lean against the first one. no matter if its 300 ppl or 3000 ppl who died, government should never send troops against their own people. unless if you deny the footage of the video and say its all made up

in theory, communism is one of the best systems ever thought up. It gave everyone jobs, food, clothing, education and medical care. however, in practice, it wont work. pure communism is flawed because it does not give people motivation and hence, the economy cant grow. Thats why the soviet union collapsed and china was forced to open up their country and encourage mix market economy. communism also violates human rights as it takes away freedom of speech.
Those "people" who ... ( 2 months ago by bluefish504)
Those "people" who occupied the public square for months on end, were trampling on the rights of other citizens, were law breakers. After month-long waiting for those law breakers to come to their senses has failed to produce any results, gov. had to remove the mob physically. The mob was holding the entire nation hostage to chaos by month long occupation of the square. By barricading themselves with overtuned buses and trucks, the mob had to be removed by the troops.

It just goes to show how students were used in the conflict of interests of the global powers. Governments come and go, political ideologies change, but no one will bring those young people back to life.
