Never forget Tiananmen Square

China's authoritarian regime has long lied to its entire population about what happened in the early morning of June 4, 1989.

Their gathering inspired hundreds of smaller demonstrations throughout China.

For weeks, there were sharp divisions within China's Communist regime about how to handle these protests.

Western leaders, eager to reach more than a billion new participants in global markets, made only feeble attempts to challenge China's appalling human rights record.

China's regime today uses similar repressive tactics to quell domestic dissent.

Any attempt to discuss those events or any other controversial subject online in China will result in censorship and possible arrest.

Today's China has major expansionist plans.
