	Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unlike the Tiananmen protests of 1987, which consisted mainly of students and intellectuals, the protests in 1989 commanded widespread support from the urban workers who were alarmed by growing inflation and corruption.
		Generally, the demonstration at Tiananmen Square was well-ordered, with daily marches of students from various Beijing area colleges displaying their solidarity with the boycott of college classes and with the developing demands of the protest.
		The Tiananmen protests were frequently invoked to argue against trade liberalization with mainland China and by the blue team as evidence that the PRC government was an aggressive threat to world peace and United States interests.

	phorum - Our World Forum at Asiawind - Tiananmen ‘Massacre’: Looking at the facts and debunking the fictions
		To associate any similarity the event in June 4 1989 at Tiananmen with the May Fourth Movement of 1919 is to belittle the spirit of 'Five-Four'.
		The Tiananmen June 4 1989 event is a dissenting voice by Western-oriented students, disaffected citizens and those who opposed the leadership for some reasons.
		Though he was never present with the dissidents throughout the Tiananmen event, yet he was fearful for his life to have sought protection from a foreign power.

	Rob Lyon, 15th Anniversary of Tiananmen Square Massacre
		The Tiananmen Square demonstrations began in April 1989 in support of former Communist Party General Secretary Hu Yoabang, who had been ousted from power in 1987 for opposing the harsh punishment of participants in demonstrations at Tiananmen Square in 1986.
		The Tiananmen Square demonstrations were in fact the first groping of the Chinese working class towards the political revolution in China.
		An open discussion on Tiananmen could split the party, because some top leaders who were involved in, or who benefited from the crackdown are still alive or in power, and there are some in the party who would like to see rehabilitation.

	Tiananmen Square Massacre
		Throughout the spring of 1989, Tiananmen Square, the political heart of Beijing, was engulfed in protests.
		The recently published ''Tiananmen Papers,'' transcripts of government documents reportedly smuggled out of the country by a disaffected Chinese official, claim to tell what happened behind the high red walls of China's leadership compound in the weeks before the massacre.
		Their appearance suggests that, even within the government, the wounds of Tiananmen still fester, and that some insiders are ready to reassess the wisdom of the decisions that led to the shooting that night.

		The Tiananmen Papers shows, however, that despite minor flare-ups of opposition from within the military the decision imposed by the Party elders to clear the square was obeyed without much dissent, and that Yang took pains to insure that military commanders followed orders.
		Written without the benefit of The Tiananmen Papers, CIA analysts did their best to estimate the deliberations and intra-Party conflict that produced the martial law order of May 20, the crackdown of June 3-4, and the fall of Zhao, based largely on press reports, but supplemented with other sources not disclosed in this redacted copy.
		The Tiananmen Papers reveals that the three generally agree that, in Deng’s words, “a tiny minority was stirring up the majority,” but differ somewhat over how to handle the situation—a decision made all the more urgent with the impending arrival of Soviet President Gorbachev on May 15.
