20 years past Tian An Men

June 4, 2009 – 1:54 pm

This topic is all the rage these days, so I wonder what hasn’t been said about this incident. There is not much left to be honest, so I’ll keep it short. Searching for 四六 in Google Imagesearch will bring up some disturbing pictures, at least if You are outside of China. Searching for this incident (六四事件) at Baidu.com You will receive the following message:

搜索结果可能不符合相关法律法规和政策,未予显示。
Which basically means You are searching for something that is inappropriate to search for. You bastard!

Okay let’s wait for the next dictator president of China, maybe he can tell us more about the Tian An Men massacre which happened 20 years ago.

Although this massacre shut down any pro-democracy protests at that time, today the suppression of all historic works about this incident only puts the ruling Chinese Communist party in a defensive position. They bought the silence with massive economical growth. Now the growth is declining, and therefore legitimation is declining as well. Next Tian An Men coming soon? Let’s hope things turn better soon.
