Today marks 37 years since Tiananmen Square.
To mark the anniversary, I’m re-sharing my conversation with Wu’er Kaixi—one of the leaders of the 1989 student movement.
A powerful conversation on democracy, memory, censorship and China.

Il 4 giugno di 37 anni fa l'esercito cinese irruppe in piazza #Tienanmen travolgendo con i carri armati gli studenti e sparando con i fucili, ponendo fine a una serie di manifestazioni popolari in cui studenti, intellettuali e operai chiedevano riforme e democrazia.
In #Cina è vietato parlarne e non ci sono stime ufficiali del numero dei morti. La CroceRossa riferì di 2600 morti e 30000 feriti. Amnesty stima che almeno un altro migliaio di manifestanti vennero successivamente fucilati.

@KamalaHarrisWin Further #AltText -- A person in a roadway holding up a "No Kings" sign. The streets are empty except for beige-colored tanks (American tanks) in a line on the road, with their guns pointed at the person. The tanks all have red TRUMP flags on flagpoles. In the distance, there are onlookers.

36 years ago #Chinese #military ended the #uprising of tens of thousands people fighting for more rights
After having to retrieve the first time the #PLA went to the #Tiananmensquare to destroy the main place of #protest
Though depicted as a #studentprotest in the west, it wasn't only #students , it was #workers and many others, too
#Repression hit them brutally afterwards

Interesting. #deepseek didn't scrub #tankMan from the training corpus. They just put a dumb, circumventable filter over a few hit words. On a stand alone instance I got the following...
"The famous "Tank Man" photo is one of the most iconic images from the 1989 pro-democracy protests in Beijing, China. In the photo, a lone individual stands in front of a column of tanks on Chang'an Avenue, seemingly staring down the military vehicles. The man is holding grocery bags, ... 1/3

CW: Tiananmen Square protests and massacre
Today's the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests_and_massacreTo says it's a touchy subject in China is an understatement.
Inside of China, many people don't know about it. Mentions are met with ignorance by educational design, or denial as government policy, or aggression as policing.
Outside of China, we should remember it as a warning, but also be inspired by the optimism and strength of the protesters.
Tank Man is such a strong symbol of civilian protest against an unjust government and its military-industrial complex.
A handful of photos exist of Tank Man famously halting a column of tanks, each taken at almost the same moment and from similar angles. These phots are by AP photographer Jeff Widener, Newsweek photographer Charlie Cole, Magnum photographer Stuart Franklin, and Reuters photographer Arthur Tsang.#TankMan #TiananmenSquare #Tiananmen #June4 #Democracy #HongKong #China #HumanRights

@galar @b_cavello @radicalpast years ago I remember reading a piece years ago that imagined that was essentially the situation #TankMan suddenly found himself in.

Today's a good day to remember the Tiananmen Square protests and massacre of 4 June 1989.
These photos serve as a reminder that sometimes you need to be fed-up with your government, and brave like Tank Man, also known as the Unknown Protester or Unknown Rebel. This unidentified Chinese man stood in front of a column of Type 59 tanks leaving Tiananmen Square in Beijing on June 5, 1989.
