Just of note, I know a student who was there at the time. He told me the protest wasn't for democracy, it was agaisnt corruption in the government. Also the soliders that were initially there were playing cards and talking with the students at the time, and they got transferred out and a bunch of soliders from a different part of the country was brought in when they decided to start shooting the students.It's sad even after the bravery and effort the students put in the government of China is still as corrupt as before. I'm not referring to the head of the country, but the people involved in the system, they still take bribes, and especially the ones that are benefitting from China selling of it's state assets, you'll notice how many of these national assets try to become public companies in the US.
A few years ago I was teaching English to a group of young Chinese. I decided to borrow a library book documenting the Tiananmen Massacre. Before I showed it to them I asked what they knew of the incident. They replied some crazy, radical students on drugs went mad and attacked people. When I told them it was described as a massacre in the West they laughed and said, "only a few people died".Then I gave them the book complete with graphic pictures. They all gathered round, jaws dropped in astonishment. The class was strangely quite for the remainder of the lesson.
As terrible as those events in China were, let us not forget the sins of our fathers, for they too have committed heinous acts. The era of the Civil Rights Movement is a time in American history where we can all bow our heads in disgrace and shame. Let us also not forget the tragedy at Kent State or repeat these shameful acts against our fellow citizens.
A traitor to his race? Are Chinese people genetically programmed to one specific way of government? And what the f**k does America have to do with anything? You could bash America all you like, but what relevence does that have when looking at China? People want to get free, and the Chinese government f**ks them up.
I think its kinda funny you all are ALL behind freedom for chinese people, but free Iraqi's NOOO thats not the same thing ... we dont have these videos so we can SEE what Sadam did in Iraq, that must be the difference ...Bring on the Bushy bashers now ......
That kind of reminds me of the end of "V for Vendetta". LOL. The funny thing, is that any true intelligent person( Like a Triple Niner for example) knows that that type of low level protesting is pointless. The Architects that run our physical reality exist outside our physical reality.
i really would like to use this video for a project that i am doing. can i? if you would please please email me, i would very much appreciate it. itsjustme486@cox.net
