A lot of things are unknown about this photo. In his article “5 Things You Should Know About the Tiananmen Square Massacre,” Noah mentions that…

by reducing the State’s intervention and by using the international side of things, along with scenarios in order to benefit itself.

The leaderships’ response to the spring 1989 popular demonstrations before and after the night of June 4 was completely unnecessary and extreme. There is no justification for the slaughter of unarmed civilian protestors. The students and other protestors play a key role in the lead up to the events that unfolded, but the slaughter of hundreds if not thousands was completely uncalled for. But, no compromises were willing to be completely agreed on, multiple times, because there was always a small…

By June, Tiananmen Square was flooded with millions of people; doctors, journalist, farmers, even soldiers were there. The only group not present were the political…

China’s Internet Censorship It is not good to be right when the government is wrong. And since most governments get to choose what they think is right even if it might not be, there is a good chance that somebody is not going to agree with them. This is a growing problem today in China where their communist government gets to choose what their citizens see and don’t see.
