Terrible Anniversary - Tiananmen Square
As a Westerner I remember learning in horror of the events that unfolded in Tiananmen Square on June 4th 1989.
I cannot believe that it has been 20 years since the horrific crackdown on the student-led protests, which started in April, grew throughout May until early June, when troops were sent in, and led to the deaths of 100s if not thousands of Chinese people.
China is not acknowledging the anniversary, and I am left to wonder if anything in the past 20 years has really changed.
