I can't find soul in those prayers' eyes. They are fooled and they think Hongkong's achievement because of democracy.

Quite a photo from the air. I still believe most students in TS were passionate, brave and patriotic, they deserved proper commemoration. Unfortunately, they were misled by the liberal democracy propaganda. From today's view, we have bunch of examples(Russia, Ukraine, you name it) to show us that the so called revolution is nothing but only farce, even the scholar who once claimed "End of history" has changed his mind. At that time, the young men and women in TS, however, could not see the future. They are not the first, nor the last sacrifice to mother China. And their blood should not be shed in vain, the country who conspired, funded and instigated this tragedy will pay its price eventually.

As for these HK protesters, they are not even patriots. If my memory serves me, the Queen never gave them election rights, or democracy. I cannot help but wonder her majesty's navy dare to send even one vessel to protect these traitors if they overstep the line.

Marx Karl is a white man, but his ideas are different from other white western world mainstream ideas, he hopes the world does not have oppression, all equality.

Gotcha, you support the version of a society thought up by atypical white men (Messiahs?)

Do u bring successful democracy to those regions where your regime has meddled around? Or it should be called demon-cracy.

He believes if China were a democracy it would automagically become a vassal state of the U.S. Somehow white worship is related to this.

Stop twisting his words!Also at least for once stop being full with hypocrisy and double-standards.Come and show us which one of so-called "democratic" (in Western view) countries not acting as obedient servant and yes man to any and all of Western desires.
No doubt NGOs are once again hard working to organize such "spontaneous" protests.As for those protesters-they should be deported to the West to enjoy its "values". They love so-called "democracy" -well why not move to such country.None of them will be missed.

What point? Karl Marx was white. It's a fact.

hmm.. your argument is flawed.

You see, Muhammad Ali was of African-American descent and a Sunni Muslim and a boxer. Now him being a boxer does not make all Muslims boxers. Neither it has got anything to do with him being an African-American.

Karl Marx was white, that does not mean he was KKK.

This is massive compared to strength in Taiwan.

Hundreds remember Tiananmen massacre in Taipei

Taipei, June 4 (CNA) Over 200 people attended a candlelight vigil in Taipei on Thursday to commemorate the Tiananmen Square massacre and to voice support for political dissidents in China.

Participants, among them students from Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, lit candles at the event in front of National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall to pay tribute to those who lost their lives in the bloody crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators in Beijing on June 4, 1989.

During the event, some participants held umbrellas aloft as a gesture of defiance against what they see as China's suppression of human rights, freedom and democracy. The umbrella is a symbol of the Hong Kong pro-democracy movement that took place last year.

"The Umbrella Revolution in Hong Kong has reminded us of an important thing that we have forgotten: the enemy from 26 years ago has never left. What happened 26 years ago almost took place again in Hong Kong last year," said Henry Kwok (郭豫謙), a spokesperson for the Association of Taiwanese Students for the Democratization of China, one of the organizers of the event.

"For our generation, the June Fourth incident is not only a historical incident, but an ongoing fight for democracy," said Kwok, a Hong Kong student in Taiwan.

Chou Ching-chang (周慶昌), another member of the association, said his group has reached out to Taiwan's ruling Kuomintang (KMT) and opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) for the first time this year to request that they state their positions on the Tiananmen Square massacre.

"We hope the values of human rights, freedom and democracy can be taken into consideration in any future engagement between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait," he said.

He added that both the KMT and DPP have sent representatives to the vigil.

Participants also voiced support for political dissidents in China, including civil rights lawyer Pu Zhiqiang (浦志強), activist Chen Yunfei (陳雲飛), writer Chen Xi (陳西) and journalist Gao Yu (高瑜).

"Gao Yu told us that the Chinese Communist Party is most afraid of our words," said Wu'er Kaixi (吾爾開希), a student leader in the Tiananmen Square protests who attended the vigil.

"So let us use our words to remember the June Fourth Incident today. Our words today are: never forget and never give up," he said.

Chinese writer and democracy activist Yu Jie (余杰) and Wang Dan (王丹), another prominent student leader in the 1989 protests, also joined the event in Taipei.

After weeks of pro-democracy protests in 1989, Chinese troops and tanks fired on civilians in Beijing's Tiananmen Square on June 4. Estimates of the death toll range from several hundred to thousands.

"Some things should never be forgotten and I am here to remember them," said Violet Cheng (鄭如韻), a 22-year-old student of veterinary science.

Her classmate Willy Chien (簡維萱), 22, said he and Cheng are joining the vigil for the second year in a row. The Sunflower Student Movement in Taiwan last year drew their attention to the Tiananmen Square protests, which are also student-led protests, he said.

A Chinese exchange student, meanwhile, said the event in Taiwan feels very different from the ones in Hong Kong, which he saw online.

While those in Hong Kong focus on remembering the victims, the Taiwanese people seem to be voicing their own fears and dislikes about the Communist Party, said the student, who wishes to remain anonymous because topics related to the Tiananmen Square incident are still a taboo in China.

While he believes most young people in China do not know much about the massacre right now, more are beginning to learn about it, he said.

"Things are starting to change. I am optimistic," he said. "Change does not occur overnight."

We can worship some white men and you can worship some other white men and we can just call it even.

You might want to make that argument to the Chinese poster who called the pursuit of freedom and democracy "white worship"

Freedom depends on interpretation. There's no such thing as "being free" in this world and there's absolutely no guarantee that democracy brings "freedom".

there is some difference between democracy and demoncrazy, the latter one is what US is spreading around the world.

That's why I wrote "Pursuit of freedom and democracy"

It's also not the perfect system. IMO democracy will never work in China, at least in its current stage as a developing nation.

True but we hear this term too many times for political reasons.

Again...how does Democracy equate with "white-worship"? Considering Communism/Socialism is a white invention.

Except Marx is not the inventor of collectivism, but rather a proponent of it.
