China
silences Tiananmen critics
Police are quickly clamping down on attempts to mark the crackdown

A leading Chinese doctor who criticised the Communist Party’s 1989 Tiananmen Square
crackdown has disappeared on the eve of its 15th anniversary.

Why do we (as a nation) keep ignoring China’s horrendous human rights record and
continue to trade so heavily with them?

If communism is so right and the Chinese government is so great, they shouldn’t

people be free to think for themselves and protest openly.

“That’s a nice sentiment. And if it makes you feel better, keep saying it to yourself. But the fact is that, no, we’re not.
We’re not better than that. Never have been. It’s history.”
