From Tiananmen Square to China's Most Wanted 

I lived near the square for a short time in the late 90's. You couldn't speak about what happened in public, only in a whisper in private. They were surrounded, it's a large open square with no place to retreat.

Today in Hong Kong, outside my apartment police line the streets just to make sure no one publicly remembers this event.

That brought back memories of watching that unfold on television. Thank you.

The greatest proponents of individual rights & Democracy are always those who escaped the hateful policies of Socialism. Listen to Cuban Americans or the residents of Shanghai who were confined to their homes for several months.

We need highly motivated individuals who are willing to do more than just complain online. It's why I started my own local chapter of (ADV) "Allied Democracy Vanguard". Every freedom loving country needs people willing to form Grassroots Organizations/Movements. 1) To ensure that our politicians aren't putting the interests of the CCP above our own countries. 2) To support human rights, and preserve freedom & democracy around the world; from the CCP-PLA's undue influences and harm. 3) To elect politicians who will be on the right side of history. 4) To develop tough on China legislation. 5) To expose and weed out CCP corruption abroad. 6) To foster the fraternity of NATO friendly Nations. 7) To stop China stealing land & resources. And take them back. 8) Require the CCP to pay reparations for the pandemic 9) ....anything else necessary This is a conversation we should all be having with each other, friends, and neighbors.

The comments section is bound to be censored for this one lol

Why does this video say "15 Comments" and I can only see 8?

After Hu Yaobang’s death in April 1989, students mourning the passing of a liberal leader, took to the street to demonstrate against corruption and called for more political reforms. The CPC leaders took a liberal view on the demonstration, allowing the students to march to the Tiananmen Square. Once the students occupied the square, they decided to stay put. In the beginning, the students felt strong and legitimate. However, as the time passed, they felt restless. When the students wanted to leave, the student leaders discouraged them to do so. One of the student leaders was Chai Ling. They demanded that the CPC leaders were to meet them in person. Several dialogues were arranged as the CCP leaders wanted to end the hunger strike and maintain order. Sheryl WuDunn of The New York Times wrote : “what was remarkable was not just that the meeting took place but that the Government televised nearly all of it, apparently as a concession to a student’s demand”. Chai Ling, gave a private interview to a US journalist Philip Cunningham on May 28, several days before the clampdown. She said that their goal was to create bloodshed so that people that were apolitical would be pissed off with the government, and they would rise against the CPC. As there’s little progress as days went by, she cried out of frustration, as she badly wanted the results (bloodshed) but she could not reveal the truth to the students. But when asked by Cunningham whether she’s ready to die for the cause, she said she did not want to die, and the whole cause was not worth dying for. This video is still available online. Then finally, on the 3rd June 1989, the government decided that they would move in to remove the protesters. Loudspeakers on the square were turned on, calling the students and workers to leave the square. Then when the deadline came, the military vehicles were given the instruction to move in, all of a sudden, some unknown worker demonstrators armed with Molotov cocktails, and they threw the ignited Molotov cocktails into the cabin of the slow-moving vehicles and tanks. The cabin caught fire and the soldiers had to run for their life, but they were stopped by the mobs. The mobs beat them up and burned them to death. That was when some of the soldiers decided to open fire at the charging mobs. This happened along the Chang’An Dajie, especially near Muxidi. AP journalist Jeff Widener said in an interview that that street was so violent that he was knocked into unconsciousness and when he got up he saw soldiers being killed. All these were happening while the students were safely staying in the square. Finally, the students agreed to leave the square, and they were seen marching out of the square and vowed to return another time. Years later, the BBC’s Beijing correspondent at the time, James Miles came clean that there was no casualty in the square. A Spanish crew also produced a video detailing how the students were given ample time to leave. A Taiwanese singer turned activist, Hou Dejian, also personally vouched that there was no death as he was the last to leave the square around 6 am on the 4th of June. While the peaceful part of the protest was genuine and legitimate, the violent part of the movement was definitely not. The CIA, the National Endowment for Democracy(NED) and the Voice of America (VOA), were involved in the plotting of the regime change. The CIA moved Gene Sharp, author of the Color Revolution manual, to Beijing where financier George Soros had incorporated the eponymous Fund for the Reform and Opening of China. CIA Director George H.W. Bush withdrew Ambassador Winston Lord from Beijing and replaced him with James Lilley, an operative experienced in regime change. They infiltrated the universities and recruited some professors and student leaders, as well as paying some of the workers to ignite a violent unrest on that night. They knew that they controlled the media that would garner enough support from the world outside as long as they produce a well-scripted plot. For e.g., the VoA broadcast that PLA units were firing on each other because some units were loyal to the protestors and some units were with the government. The VoA and U.S. media outlets tried to create confusion and panic among government supporters. Just prior to June 4 they reported that China’s Prime Minister Li Peng had been shot and that Deng Xiaoping was near death, which was not true. The now symbolic photo of “the Tank Man” was one of the most misleading images in modern history. While the photo seemed like tanks were ready to roll over a protester, full video footage revealed that this was an entirely different scenario. The man, holding two bags of groceries, saw the incoming tanks, and he stood in the way. The tanks tried to avoid him by going around him, but the man refused to give way, and then he even climbed up the tank and talked to the soldiers inside the tank. He then climbed down from the tank unharmed and left the tank with another man in bicycle. But Western mainstream media twisted this event and marketed it as “brutal crackdown on protesters”. The full video is still available online. To be sure, they almost got what they wanted. As for the Hong Kong and Taiwan activists, they were ready conspirators. Hong Kong was facing an imminent return to the Communist country, and Taiwan at that time still considered itself the legitimate China. Both Chinese cities had reasons for a successful revolution. Perhaps, overall, the CIA and NED did get what they wanted; after 29 years, 18,000 Hongkongers still commemorate the June 4th Incident with candle lights in the Victoria Park, and the call for the end of the CPC did not die down. As a matter of fact, 1989 probably gave birth to the Pro-Independence Taiwanese and Hongkongers. In 2019, following a genuine protest by ordinary Hong Kong residents against an extradition bill proposed by the Hong Kong government, violent riots were orchestrated by the NED and the MI6, where Molotov cocktails were thrown at police forces and public facilities were burned down by violent mobs. Many ordinary Hong Kongers had the opportunity to see first hand huge discrepancies in what really happened on the ground to what was reported by Western media. It turned out that this riot was a blessing in disguise for this section of the population, as after they have seen reminiscence in both the riots in Hong Kong and Tiananmen, they finally see the truth in Tiananmen.
