Tiananmen Square Anniversary

6/4/2019

On this day in 1989, the Chinese government began its crackdown against the pro-democracy protests that had been taking place for weeks in central Beijing.  However, on June 4, Chinese troops marched into Tiananmen Square, firing indiscriminately into the crowds of protesters.  Journalists on the scene estimate that at least 300 protesters were killed and thousands more were arrested.
