20 years ago today.
So should have the "international community" have punished the Chinese or should have done more to bring forth change in China? Do you ever think China will have another one of these? Do you think it would work if they did?

Holy shit, twenty years ago & it only seems like yesterday..
Dad's friend was there before, thank god he was white so he didn't get shit. Camera almost destroyed by the Chinese lol. He bailed out of Beijing a day later, laid low for a while then got out of the country.
Total media black out about the incident in China.
Very disappointing that 20 years on they still don't even acknowledge anything happened.

They do all sorts of shit behind the scenes to certain folk but the only things everyone always see are the tall shiny buildings

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.
The first one wasn't a revolt against the government, it was the demand for democracy and the chance to vote in a 2 party election. Not an overthrow or attempted revolution.Flecco wrote:

Didn't say it was a revolt. Doesn't change the fact that with 1 billion people, controlling that many, no matter how big your military, is going to be pretty frigging tricky if they decide they don't like the current government.AussieReaper wrote:

Wonder who that was in front of the tank and whatever happened to him. Killed no doubt .
I am more concerned about what China does outside of her borders.

I've always wondered too. I thought I read he escaped alive. But, he's prolly worm food now.
He is still alive. Seen a documentary and it said so, so it must be true.M.O.A.B wrote:
