@Smersh On June 4th, 1989, a violent military crackdown took place in Beijing, China, known as the Tiananmen Square massacre. The Chinese government sent troops and tanks to disperse pro-democracy protesters who had been gathering in Tiananmen Square for several weeks. The crackdown resulted in the deaths of several hundred, possibly thousands, of civilians, and many more were injured or arrested. The event was a significant turning point in modern Chinese history and has been heavily censored and suppressed by the Chinese government since then.
