Remembering the Massacre at Tiananmen Square- 18 Yrs Ago Today
On June 4, 1989, hundreds of innocent civilians were shot dead by the Chinese army during a bloody military operation to crush a democratic uprising in Peking's (Beijing) Tiananmen Square.
Tanks rumbled through the Beijing streets late on June 3rd as the army moved into the square from several directions. They opened fire randomly on the unarmed protesters.
The injured were rushed to hospital on bicycle rickshaws by frantic residents shocked by the army's sudden and extreme response to the peaceful mass protest. -BBC
The blood shed in Tiananmen Square has come to symbolize the triumph of the spirit over brute force. It is also a day where we are reminded of the brutality of the communist regime in China.

The link to Reuters doesn't work for me.
The Chinese man who confronted those tanks has more balls than all of our leadership in the Congress and White House combined.
"The Chinese man who confronted those tanks has more balls than all of our leadership in the Congress and White House combined"...
LOL!...
Look, I'm NOT disagreeing with your assessment of that man but wow, what you are talking about was a death wish...
I published my stories related with recent students movement today. Weird that during yesterday's demonstrations no one talked about China. I guess because we were too busy on ourselves (big mistakes) or in my case, because I hope I don't have their luck.
*I meant... venezuelan students movement..
