http://archives.cbc.ca/IDC-1-7... 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.

Quote Mikey "God is above all laws, including the Chinese" 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 Jews" 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.

民主和自由的中国。 中国人民解放军和中国人民,推翻中国共产党政府要安装一个多党政治制度。

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.

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.

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.
