六四 1989 Tiananmen Square protests anniversary

The beginning of every June is one of the busiest times for Chinese censors. That's when the world — except China — commemorates the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing.

Internet censorship is tightened during this time of each year not only to prohibit discussion of the brutal crackdown on the pro-democracy protest that happened years ago, but to erase the incident from Chinese history, especially among younger generations.

The impact of such suppression is staggering. Only 15 out of 100 Beijing University students could recognize the “Tank Man” photo, which is the global symbol of the bloody crackdown, according to journalist Louisa Lim in her book “The People's Republic of Amnesia: Tiananmen Revisited.”

In late July, the Chinese University Press in Hong Kong released a trove of previously unpublished documents about Zhao Ziyang, the bold reformer who served as China’s premier (1980-1987) and Communist Party general secretary (1987-1989). Containing almost 500 documents that were smuggled out of China, The Collected Works of Zhao Ziyang, 1980-1989 (in Chinese) shows how Zhao led a decade of transformational economic reform and sketched-out plans for political reform. It cuts off shortly before he was stripped of his power and placed under house arrest after opposing the use of force against the student protesters in the spring of 1989. The ruling Chinese Communist Party has subsequently effaced his contributions; when he died in 2005, his short official obituary referred to him only as a “comrade,” not mentioning that he had helped lead the country for nearly 10 years. These four volumes, which are selling briskly, have renewed interest in Zhao’s time in power—and they offer an opportunity to imagine what might have been, had he not been purged in 1989. How should we assess his legacy, and what might China be like today under a Zhao administration, or under a leader who governed like Zhao did? —The Editors

Zhao Ziyang: A reformer China's Communist Party wants to forget​


In a small, central Beijing courtyard, family and friends are gathering to pay tribute to Zhao Ziyang - the most powerful man in China to oppose the decision to send tanks into Tiananmen Square nearly 30 years ago.
He was subsequently erased from Chinese history for what party officials deemed his "serious mistakes" that day.

The TianAnMen incident is the debate about democracy versus a one party government. India is a supposed democracy since independence and it is one of the worst country to live in for the average person. The average Chinese lives much better.

The banner: "Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely" is not true; it was just some young lads just weaned from mothers' milk who think they were that smart and know-all. It was said the first ancient Chinese emperor, "Yellow emperor" had absolute power as power came to him from Shang-Di; everyone under "Heaven" was happy. When the prophet of Islam became the leader of Mecca, he too had absolute power and there never was any corruption.

China was ruled by the imperial system for most of three thousand years where the emperors had absolute power. It cannot be said the absolute power imperial system did not work. Good emperors are better than corrupt elected leaders. The Qing emperors Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong generally had good ratings even by the Han Chinese.

Xi Jinping is now the de facto emperor. The one-party system of China is neither better or worst off than the western democratic models. The US has the advantage that it controls the worlds money and finance; with free flowing money, most American would deemed their society and life "good" - it's all about having enough money to shut the gaps of most people.

What China would be like if Xi Jinping had unlimited money to spare.

1) Housing prices so low that one year's salary can buy you a 5-star bungalow near the Forbidden city.
2) No limit to number of babies a couple may have.
3) All education, health care absolutely free.
4) Total freedom of speech.
5) No internet ban; Google, facebook, youtube, etc... all allowed.

If I were a 25 year old male Hongkie, would I ever go down the streets to demonstrate against Xi Jinping. By God, Never! I own a large bungalow and rearing five race houses; have a Lambourginee and a Merce, etc...country club, night club. My only complain would be there is only one Liu Yife in the world. Make do with the limitations of nature...

中国真幸运有习近平来加速躺平。
I recently viewed some videos about the new mainland Chinese "躺平" (tang ping) idea; it literally translates to "lying low".

This discussion in China's social media is rather interesting. "Lying low" comes about because most young people could see that they have no future to ever having a stable and satisfying life with China's current social and economic environment. Real estate prices are so high that most do no see how they could ever buy any house of their own; without a house, how to get married. This "lying low" is a discussion about how to have a minimal economic lifestye. The don'ts:
1) no regular job.
2) no marriage.
3) no children.
4) no buying house.
5) no desire for high living as portrayed by popular media, etc...

The minimal economic lifestyle is balanced by a "you can do whatever you like"; just loiter in the streets, window shopping, sleep, do nothing...as long as one lives without worrying.

The Chinese government is now responding. An official even openly said: "认命可以,躺平不可以" - you can accept your (bad) fate, but "lying low" is not permitted. So China is saying though you struggle and struggle and cannot lift yourself out of the lowest social stratum, you may accept your bad fate. The China run by the Chinese Communist Party still needs all the bolts, nuts, gears to run, to feed the standing committee and their associates. The CCP and China cannot stop working.

Please someone warn the 4G leaders a potential social plague may be coming, more serious than covid-19 - it is 躺平. About the origin of this coming plague, no one can deny it comes from China.

A Chink will always be a Chink no matter who comes into power.

5000 years of Chink culture, diaspora and history with different rulers, dynasties, ideologies and personalities in power, the result is still the same Chinky bad behaviours.

Same goes for Chinks in HongKong, Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore.

Bad behaviours, authoritarianism, dictatorship, corruption, and most evil doings are endemic and inherent in Chink genes.

Three days after opening on Sunday (May 30), the June 4 Memorial Museum in Hong Kong was shut down after local authorities investigated whether the museum had licenses to conduct public exhibitions.







Tiananmen Square museum closes after Hong Kong authorities investigate​



The museum, meant to commemorate the Tiananmen Square crackdown on protests in China on Jun. 4, 1989, had received more than 550 visitors during the three days of operations, according to LA Times.


The Hong Kong Alliance of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China said that the move to close down was to protect their staff and visitors while the group sought legal advice.

The June 4 Memorial Museum is one of the efforts by pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong to create discourse about the Tiananmen Square Incident in 1989 that were quashed by local authorities
