China’s defense minister, General Wei Fenghe, told an audience in Singapore Sunday that the Tiananmen Square massacre--the brutal crackdown of anti-Communist protests in Beijing in 1989--was a “correct policy” and credited the mass murder with bringing “stability and development” to the country. ...China has spent decades attempting to fully censor the incident and has never allowed estimates on the number killed or imprisoned. Experts believe Chinese Communist Party police and soldiers killed hundreds, if not thousands, of protesters demanding liberal democracy, inspired by the impending fall of the Soviet Union and similar protests nationwide. https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2019/06/03/chinese-defense-minister-tiananmen-square-massacre-was-correct-policy/

6-3-19 The 30th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre of at least 10,000 people is significant for several reasons. For one thing, the deadly assault on student-led demonstrators remains a dark and hidden chapter in China’s communist narrative. For another, the Chinese government’s arbitrary exercise of power against its own citizens has not only continued since the massacre, but has become more methodical, sophisticated, and efficient, with the country’s internal-security budget now officially surpassing its mammoth defense spending. Yet at the same time, this reliance on brute force carries an ominous message for the Communist Party of China (CPC) itself. https://www.asiatimes.com/2019/06/opinion/chinas-tiananmen-reckoning/
