June 4, 1989 - Hundreds of civilians were shot dead by China’s People’s Liberation Army during a bloody military operation in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square. Students and workers had become part of a growing pro-democracy movement, gathering there continuously for weeks. The Chinese government still officially denies any deaths occurred; thousands who were arrested “disappeared” and remain unaccounted for.

Xi has been looking like the rational superpower leader.
Now looks like a very oppressive dictator.
Democracy for China looks even further away.

The Ghost In You
"You awoke in a burning paperhouse
From the infinite fields of dreamless sleep
You return to Tiananmen
An eyewitness in a shroudTo see them fall
Feel them yield
Relieving the terror
Of the crowdHold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
Just for a moment, I seemed to know
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
I seemed to know the ghost in youThe whisper of your scream sighed through the air
And faith, the flag is torn and frayed
Inferno heat, glory in flame
Love was beaten and betrayedIn every step
I hear your sobbing
Dare I break the shade
With one caress?Dare I trespass to lift the veil
To touch the lips so soft and frail?
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
I seemed to know the ghost in youYour captive heart
The belief you share
With a kiss eternal
Spirits of the squareHold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
Hope remains with the ghost in you
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
I seemed to know the ghost in youDon't let it blow
The ghost in you
The ghost in you"- #SiouxsieAndTheBanshees, 1993

The world must not forget the wonderful scenes of Chinese population communion, and the horrific massacre by the "People's Liberation Army".

Crying over Ottawa is laughable when compared to the lengths Republicans go to when inconvenienced by non-white protesters for a few hours. #RunThemOver
Protesters in Ottawa terrorized and shutdown the city & an international bridge for THREE WEEKS! #TianamenSquare
