Thirty
years ago today a military crackdown to clear a student-led
pro-democracy protest from Beijing’s Tiananmen Square left hundreds,
perhaps more than 1,000 dead. The killings shocked the world and have
had a lasting impact on China including Hong Kong in particular.
Much
has changed since then. Focus on economic development that has lifted
hundreds of millions from poverty has helped Beijing in its efforts to
sweep the events of June 4, 1989, under the carpet. But they still haunt
the leadership.
