Remembering The Tiananmen Square Massacre

from The Sinofile · host Joshua Solorzano

What events led to this bloody day that most people connect with the "tank man" video that we remember so vividly? 36 years ago on the day of this recording, June 4th 1989, a nationwide protest was brewing that the CCP feared could topple the regime. Its response and efforts to erase this day from the public speaks volumes about its insecurity and greatest fear: the power of the masses.
