Chinese troops storm through Tiananmen Square in the center of Beijing, killing and arresting thousands of pro-democracy protesters. The brutal Chinese government assault on the protesters shocked the West and brought denunciations and sanctions from the United States.
In May 1989, nearly a million Chinese, mostly young students, crowded into central Beijing to protest for greater democracy and call for the resignations of Chinese Communist Party leaders deemed too repressive. For nearly three weeks, the protesters kept up daily vigils, and marched and chanted. Western reporters captured much of the drama for television and newspaper audiences in the United States and Europe.
On June 4, 1989, however, Chinese troops and security police stormed through Tiananmen Square, firing indiscriminately into the crowds of protesters. Turmoil ensued, as tens of thousands of the young students tried to escape the rampaging Chinese forces. Other protesters fought back, stoning the attacking troops and overturning and setting fire to military vehicles. Reporters and Western diplomats on the scene estimated that at least 300, and perhaps thousands, of the protesters had been killed and as many as 10,000 were arrested.
The savagery of the Chinese government’s attack shocked both its allies and Cold War enemies. Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev declared that he was saddened by the events in China. He said he hoped that the government would adopt his own domestic reform program and begin to democratize the Chinese political system.
In the United States, editorialists and members of Congress denounced the Tiananmen Square massacre and pressed for President George Bush to punish the Chinese government. A little more than three weeks later, the U.S. Congress voted to impose economic sanctions against the People’s Republic of China in response to the brutal violation of human rights.

That’s the problem with running over a Chinaman with a tank, half an hour later and you want to do it again.
Hey, don’t throw our beloved Chinaman Apostle under the bus.
He was there.

Li Ping did say ” You go home now! You Been here four hour”. As he attempted to convince the crowd to leave. RIP John Pinette.
Maybe we can ameliorate the growing U.S. – PRC rift; economic, military, political by leasing some PLA troops to come over to America where the jungle vermin and Antifa are running wild destroying once-great cities and have them quell the rebellion.
They don’t suffer from any White Privilege and are quite effective at doing their jobs of restoring law and order as evidenced by the Tianamen Square action then and the current response in Hong Kong.
We certainly don’t want any more American police getting hurt as a result of the terrible policies of the Trotskyite politicians restraining cops from protecting life and property. Besides at current exchange rates and pay scales it would work out to be way less expensive having mercenaries do the job rather than a fully renumerated NYPD veteran with overtime and hazardous duty pay*.
If we didn’t want to give the Chinese a monopoly for doing the job, parallel contracts could be given to other professional riot responders; Russian, Turkish, Israeli even, and thereby have a contest that can determine which force best handles the tasking.
You just know each team would do their damned best to restore peace and tranquility to the U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! and honour to their own nations.
A win-win.
