35th Anniversary of Tiananmen Square Incident: Increased Security Measures for Commemoration in China and Hong Kong

Reported about 1 year ago

On June 4, 2024, the 35th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square incident was commemorated with heightened security in Beijing and Hong Kong to prevent remembrance activities. Despite strict control by the Chinese government, efforts to unveil the truth behind the events of June 4, 1989, continue. While Beijing labeled the incident as a 'riot' and attempts to erase it from public memory, commemorations face restrictions, as seen in Hong Kong's shift from commemoration events to agricultural fairs due to national security laws. Despite efforts to suppress discussions about the event, commemorations persist in Taiwan where Hong Kong residents also participate. The wounds from the Tiananmen incident remain, as authorities try to conceal the past, but history will remember until justice is served.
