China blocks internet sites, Tiananmen square

[chauism]

That is a completly false statement, if they were only college kids making some noise, then as the days progressed why did the crowd get larger?

The crowd was already getting smaller as there were sensible and reasonable people leaving the Tianaimen Squares before its crack down . I consider those who stayed there stupid because this whole thing could be avoid if they were not that hot headed and just be reasonable at that time, but no they think that they were invincible. They did not even know what they really want to achieve and what they can achieve. Only those few leaders achieved what they wanted, which is to have an American dream, but the dreams are based on the bloods of their own classmates. And look where are they now, and why no one is talking about them. What can I say beside that they were young and stupid?

But radical student leaders changed their minds and decided to stay on. One of them was Commander-in-Chief Chai Ling, who confided to an American journalist: “what we are actually hoping for is bloodshed, for the moment when the government has no choice but to brazenly butcher the people… I can't say all this to my fellow students. I can't tell them straight out that we must use our blood and our lives to call on the people to rise up.”


“Are you going to stay in the Square yourself?” asked the interviewer.


“No, I won’t.”


“Why?”


“… I want to live.”

I wondered what if the Western media had reported the Tiananmen student movement with a critical eye, instead of with romanticized sympathy. Perhaps the Chinese students on Tiananmen Square, who had admired the West’s democracy so much to have erected the “Liberty of Goddess” statue on Tiananmen Square, might have followed the more practical voices of Wang Dang and Hou Dejian to leave Tiananmen Square and continue their democratic movement at grassroots level on campuses. The bloodshed on the roads leading to Tiananmen Square on June 4th, perhaps, could have been avoided.

From Tibet to Tiananmen

It is because the labor worker (the non-huns and rural area worker), started to join. Since majority were minorities in the rally, the chinese establisment did not really care, hence lots of death.

Huh???? Are you saying it was an ethnic cleansing?
