Date of 4 June remains one of China’s strictest taboos, with government using increasingly sophisticated tools to censor its discussion
There is no official death toll but activists believe hundreds, possibly thousands, were killed by China’s People’s Liberation Army in the streets around Tiananmen Square, Beijing’s central plaza, on 4 June 1989.
The date of 4 June remains one of China’s strictest taboos, and the Chinese government employs extensive and increasingly sophisticated resources to censor any discussion or acknowledgment of it inside China. Internet censors scrub even the most obscure references to the date from online spaces, and activists in China are often put under increased surveillance or sent on enforced “holidays” away from Beijing.
New research from human rights workers has found that the sensitive date also sees heightened transnational repression of Chinese government critics overseas by the government and its proxies.
Don’t worry the world will forget about Ukraine. The world has already moved on past Armenian genocide even though Turkey and the vast majority of Turks still deny the genocide, and some are even openly proud of it. The world has moved on from the Holocaust even though there are still soooo many genocide deniers everywhere. The world has moved on from the Yazidi genocide even though that has happened only 10 years ago and a lot of perpetrators are still running around today. Even now with what’s going on in Gaza, Myanmar, Tibet, Armenia, Kurdistan, Sudan, Yemen, people just move on with their lives. What makes you think that they don’t or that this will be different?
