And so they should be.

They would be filled with an even greater sense of pride, I believe, if their government gave a little slack on the 6/4 issue.

And that realization was arrived at how exactly? Open discussion?

Even Chinese people in Hong Kong and overseas – Chinese people everywhere are proud of the great progress China has made in the past 60 years, especially the last 20.

“Anyway, most people in China now realize that the students had to be suppressed”

What a load of bollocks this Swain fellow writes.
7000 dead? Bollocks – more like several hundred.

There was violence in the square – but the students were the ones who instigated it. The army just handled things poorly.

There was no real aim to go in and kill people. Things just got out of hand.

Anyway, most people in China now realize that the students had to be suppressed – it is highly doubtful that China would have had 20 years of unstinting economic growth if these students were allowed to run riot.

stuart,

I agree that the event must be discussed freely, and by doing that a lot of BS, myths, gross fabrications such as what Swain said would be weeded out. Just because he was there, he wasn’t entitled to lying.

You and I all know how the CCP should handle the anniversary. You and I all know it is not going to happen for reasons you and I all know.
