** 02-Jun-2019 World View: China prepares for June 4 anniversary of Tiananmen Square massacre

  • Iconic photo of 'tank man' - student blocking row of tanks in
    Tiananmen Square on June 5, 1989

Tuesday is the 30th anniversary of June 4, 1989, Tiananmen Square
massacre of thousands of peacefully protesting pro-democracy students.

The protests were a seminal moment for the Chinese Communist Party
(CCP), because it showed that democracy, rather than "communism" was
increasingly the ideology of choice for young people, especially
because of Mao Zedong's disastrous communist policies that resulted in
deaths of millions of Chinese people by starvation, execution, and
riots in the disastrous Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution.

This caused the CCP to launch a vitriolic nationalist hate campaign
against Japan, to divert the calls for more democracy. That
anti-Japan hate campaign is close to reaching a climax today, as China
prepares to launch a war with Japan.

At the same time, the CCP launched a policy of violence against
Western religions, including Buddhism, Christianity and Islam. This
is also reaching a climax in the last couple of years, as the CCP is
committing genocide and ethnic cleansing of Muslim Uighers, destroying
Christian and Buddhist churches and temples, and jailing and torturing
anyone who prays to Jesus or to anyone except Xi Jinping.

Since 1989, the CCP has harshly cracked down on any mention of the
Tiananmen Square massacre in public, in the media, or on the internet.
In recent weeks, as the anniversary date is approaching, the communist
censors have been working overtime to scrub all the social media sites
of anything that references the massacre even obliquely. The same CCP
that's terrified of the cartoon character Winnie the Pooh because he
looks like Xi Jinping is even more terrified of any mention of the
Tiananmen Square massacre. Anyone in China who mentions the massacre
risks being abducted and thrown into a pit by the CCP goons.

The Tiananmen Square massacre is discussed frequently in the West, of
course, much to the annoyance of the CCP. They're particularly
furious that the "Tank Man" picture shown above, which showed a
college student confronting a convoy of army tanks, appears in Western
media constantly. Incidentally, the identity of Tank Man is still not
publicly known today. In the actual event, which was recorded on
video, two of his college friends ran out into the street, grabbed
him, and pulled him back into the crowd, and safety.

So it was a big surprise on Sunday when China's foreign minister Wei
Fenghe not only admitted that the massacre had taken place, but said
that it was the "correct" policy. Wei was speaking at a regional
security meeting in Singapore known as the "Shangri La Dialogue." Wei
was asked a question about the massacre, and the usual practice would
have been to say it was all Western propaganda, blah, blah, blah.

But Wei Fenghe became furious at the question and shouted:

Quote: "Everybody is concerned about Tiananmen after 30
years.

Throughout the 30 years, China under the Communist Party has
undergone many changes - do you think the government was wrong
with the handling of June Fourth? There was a conclusion to that
incident. The government was decisive in stopping the turbulence.

That incident was a political turbulence and the central
government took measures to stop the turbulence which is a correct
policy.

Due to this, China has enjoyed stability, and if you visit China
you can understand that part of history."

Reports indicate that there is no mention of this outburst in the
Chinese media. It's not clear whether Wei's outburst was planned, or
whether he simply lost his temper.

Saying that the massacre was necessary for China's stability is the
usual CCP fantasy. There are always massive demonstrations in
Washington by feminists, blacks, and other activist groups, and next
week there will be large anti-Trump demonstrations in London. But
it's laughable to think that calling out the tanks to massacre
peaceful feminist, blacks, or Trump haters would increase stability.
It's only from the Chinese that we hear ridiculous nonsense like that.

Also at the same meeting, Wei Fenghe made the usual threats about
annexing Taiwan and the South China Sea by military force.
