Chinese tanks rolled into the square before dawn on June 4, 1989, to end weeks of pro-democracy demonstrations by students and workers. Television news images of a lone Chinese man in a white shirt standing in front of a column of tanks spread around the world and became the iconic image of the demonstrations.<\/p>\n<p>Decades after the military crackdown, rights activists say the demonstrators&#8217; original goals including a free press and freedom of speech remain distant, and June 4 is still a taboo topic in China. The ruling Communist Party has never released a death toll, though rights groups and witnesses say the figure could run into the thousands. Taiwan&#8217;s president Lai Ching-te said in a statement on Tuesday that &#8220;the memory of June 4th will not disappear in the torrent of history&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Lai, who was inaugurated last month as the leader of the democratic island China claims as its own, added that Taiwan would &#8220;respond to authoritarianism with freedom.&#8221; Taiwan is the only part of the Chinese-speaking world where June 4 can be remembered openly, with a commemoration event planned in Taipei, the capital. Others are planned in countries such as Britain, Canada and the United States. In Beijing, an official website for the Tiananmen Tower overlooking the square, posted a notice earlier saying it would be closed for the entire day on June 4.<\/p>\n<p>Time slots for visits to Tiananmen Square also weren&#8217;t available for June 4 on its official WeChat mini-app. Chang&#8217;an Avenue, the road lining the square, was closed to pedestrians and cyclists on Monday evening, according to an eyewitness. Small groups of &#8220;stability maintenance&#8221; volunteers &#8211; retirees with red armbands &#8211; have been keeping watch at neighbourhoods in central Beijing since last week. Guards have also been stationed on pedestrian bridges, a regular practice during politically sensitive periods.<\/p>\n<p>On Chinese social media platforms including WeChat and Douyin, users were unable to change their profile photos, according to online posts and Reuters tests. In the past, some online users have changed their profile names and photos to include symbolic images such as candles around June 4th.\u00a0&#8220;Thirty-five years have passed, and the authorities remain silent. All that can be seen on the internet is &#8216;A Concise History of the Communist Party of China&#8217;, which says that a tragic incident was caused by the student movement in 1989,&#8221; wrote the Tiananmen Mothers, a group of over 100 mostly China-based survivors and families of the victims of the Tiananmen crackdown.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/asia-pacific\/security-tight-china-hong-kong-tiananmen-crackdown-anniversary-2024-06-04\/\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/asia-pacific\/security-tight-china-hong-kong-tiananmen-crackdown-anniversary-2024-06-04\/\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/security-tight-in-china-and-hong-kong-on-tiananmen-crackdown-anniversary\/\">Security tight in China and Hong Kong on Tiananmen crackdown anniversary<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[758,3141,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-131077","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-china","tag-tiananmen","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131077","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131077"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131077\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131077"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
