If you think about what was happening in the socialist world at that time, there were a lot of changes, and the Chinese wanted to participate, said Austin Jersild, Associate Professor of history.
Sometimes the simple mistakes are more interesting than the pre-planned spin on Fox News as it was today when I noticed a mistake Fox News anchor Jane Skinner made, presumably misreading the teleprompter, when she reported the story on the crackdowns in China leading up to the 20th anniversary of the June 4, 1989 protests in Tiananmen Square that I show in this video. The short clip of Fox News I use in my video comes from the broadcast of the program "Happening Now" shown on June 3, 2009. You can read Sigmund Freud's book "Psychopathology of Everday Life" that I mention in this video in full online at psychclassics.yorku.ca My previous video titled "Obama Teleprompter Obsession" to which I refer in this video is available on YouTube at www.youtube.com The dozens and dozens of videos documenting ideological bias on Fox News to which I refer in this video are available on my Fox News Bias playlist on YouTube at www.youtube.com And, finally, you can find a lot more in depth information from the New York Times about the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests in China at www.nytimes.com
June 4th, 1989, Tiananmen square, Beijing. The last scene of the protests that were sparked by the death of pro-market, pro-democracy and anti-corruption official, Hu Yaobang, whom protesters wannted to mourn. The movement lasted seven weeks from Hu's death on 15 April, 1989 until tanks cleared Tiananmen square on 4th June. The violent suppression of the Tiananmen square protest, caused widespread international condemnatio of the PRC goverment. A special figure of the Tiananmen's events was a man, that standed alone in front of the tanks that invaded the square. A man that danced a Tango dance with a tank. The following song and video is a participation to the 20th anniversary of the massacre of protestors at Tiananmen square. Lyrics and music written and composed at June 1st 2009, by the KINETA FILES. The initiation to the 20 years remembrence and the online project based on the Tank man Tango, with participation of people from different countries all over the globe , came from the www.forget2forget.net.
Twenty years have passed since hundreds of thousands of people flooded onto the streets of Beijing and into Tiananmen Square demanding democracy, freedom of speech and an end to corruption. After a seven week standoff, the Communist government called in the troops and a bloody battle pursued. Twenty years on, Al Jazeera speaks to some of those who took part in the world's largest and most influential pro-democracy movement.

clip from PBS "The Tank Man". Rewriting history. Note that this (american) PBS documentary is omits the powerfull images/video of students erecting a large "Statue of Liberty" replica as an outcry for help to America and other "free" nations. Of course the Reagan/Bush admin. was not going to help because they politically, economically and socially(cfr. one-child policy & Bush sr.) supported the communist regime in China.

Tiananmen Square is the large plaza near the center of Beijing, China, named after the Tiananmen (literally, Gate of Heavenly Peace) which sits to its north, separating it from the Forbidden City. It has great cultural significance as a symbol because it was the site of several key events in Chinese history Tank Man, or the Unknown Rebel, is the nickname of an anonymous man who became internationally famous when he was videotaped and photographed during the protests at Beijing's Tiananmen Square on June 5, 1989. Several photographs were taken of the man, who stood in front of a column of Chinese Type 59 tanks, preventing their advance. One of the most widely reproduced versions of the photograph was taken by Jeff Widener of the Associated Press from the sixth floor of the Beijing Hotel, about half a mile (800 meters) away from the scene, through a 400-millimeter lens. Little is publicly known of the man's identity or that of the commander of the lead tank. Shortly after the incident, British tabloid the Sunday Express named the man as Wang Weilin , a 19-year-old student; however, the veracity of this claim is dubious. Numerous rumors have sprung up as to the man's identity and current whereabouts, but none are backed by hard evidence. There are several conflicting stories about what happened to him after the demonstration. In a speech to the President's Club in 1999, Bruce Herschensohn—former deputy special assistant to President of the United States Richard Nixon ...
It's widely believed that the 'Tank Man' was killed during his personal struggle against the Chinese government/army in the final moments of the nation-wide riots. This is not true, as shown in this video. What this man did is amazing, but if the masses KNEW that he did not get ran over, the impact would be minute compared to what it is now. I applaud the Chinese at the time for standing against an oppressive government for as long as they did (the events did not escalate to this after 1 day, it was months of protesting), but in my opinion, the government was in some ways forced to remove the protesters and as they retaliated death was a result. It could have been much better handled (for example following Zhao and not removing him from the party for his 'sympathetic' views to the predominately student body of protesters), but don't forget that this was the first massive scale of protesters in China's history (Western nations had long become familiar with it) and many were not prepared/trained for it. China was coming to a standstill as a result of these protests. Many do not even know why the protests eventuated, which makes it difficult for the true series of events to have their story told. The edited video (erased the bit where he is pushed away) depicts the Chinese government to be a monster, but is this really the case? I am very critical of the Chinese government, I am not a Chinese government sympathizer. I just like to look at as many possible views (not just one ...

Story behind the man who dared to stop a line of tanks
The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, widely known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre, were a series of demonstrations led by labor activists, students, and intellectuals in the People's Republic of China (PRC) between April 15 and June 4, 1989. Participants were against the authoritarianism and economic policies of the ruling Chinese Communist Party and voiced calls for democratic reform within the structure of the government. The demonstrations centered on Tiananmen Square in Beijing, but large-scale protests also occurred in cities throughout China. In Beijing, the resulting military crackdown on the protesters by the PRC government left many civilians dead or injured. The reported tolls ranged from 200--300 (PRC government figures), to 300--800 (The New York Times), and to 2000--3000 (Chinese student associations and Chinese Red Cross). Following the violence, the government conducted widespread arrests to suppress protesters and their supporters, cracked down on other protests around China, banned the foreign press from the country and strictly controlled coverage of the events in the PRC press. Members of the Party who had publicly sympathized with the protesters were purged, with several high-ranking members placed under house arrest, such as General Secretary Zhao Ziyang. The violent suppression of the Tiananmen Square protest caused widespread international condemnation of the PRC government. Today China censores all images and articles regarding the Tiananmen ...

According to wiki, a series of demonstrations led by students, intellectuals, and labour activists in Communist China between April 15, 1989 and June 4, 1989. While the protests lacked a unified cause or leadership, participants were generally critical of the ruling Chinese Communist Party and voiced complaints ranging from minor criticisms to calls for full-fledged democracy and the establishment of broader freedoms. The demonstrations centred on Tiananmen Square in Beijing, but large-scale protests also occurred in cities throughout China, including Shanghai, which stayed peaceful throughout the protests. In Beijing, the resulting military crackdown on the protesters by the PRC government left many civilians dead or injured. The toll ranges from 200--300 (PRC government figures), to 400--800 by the New York Times, and to 2000--3000 (Chinese student associations and Chinese Red Cross), although the PRC government asserts and most independent observers agree that the majority of these deaths were not in the square itself but rather in the streets leading to the square.[1] Following the violence, the regime conducted widespread arrests to suppress protestors and their supporters, cracked down on other protests around China, banned the foreign press from the country and strictly controlled coverage of the events in the Chinese state-run press. Members of the Party who had publicly sympathized with the protesters were purged, with several high-ranking members placed under ...
Tank Man, or the Unknown Rebel, is the nickname of an anonymous man who became internationally famous when he was videotaped and photographed during the Tiananmen Square protests on 5 June 1989. Several photographs were taken of the man, who stood in front of a column of Chinese Type 59 tanks, preventing their advance. The most widely reproduced version of the photograph was taken by Jeff Widener (Associated Press), from the sixth floor of the Beijing Hotel, about half a mile (800 m) away, through a 400 mm lens. Another version was taken by photographer Stuart Franklin of Magnum Photos. His photograph has a wider field of view than Widener's picture, showing more tanks in front of the man. Franklin subsequently won a World Press Award for the photograph. It was featured in LIFE magazine's "100 Photos that Changed the World" in 2003. Variations of the image were also recorded by CNN and BBC film crews, on videotape, and were transmitted across the world. The still and motion photography of the man standing alone before a line of tanks reached international audiences practically overnight. It headlined hundreds of major newspapers and news magazines and was the lead story on countless news broadcasts around the world. In April 1998, the United States magazine TIME included the "Unknown Rebel" in its 100 most influential people of the 20th century. The incident took place just a minute away from Tiananmen on Chang'an Avenue, which leads into the Forbidden City, Beijing, on ...

Available for iPod! see below An indelible image of courage, one lone protester facing down a tank in Beijing's Tiananmen Square, June 1989. He would become known simply as 'Tank Man' or 'The Unknown Rebel'. The massive student protests were brutally put down on June 4th when the Chinese army attacked with tanks and trucks, firing indescriminately at the unarmed protesters, killing and injuring thousands. The Unknown Rebel confronted the tank column next day as the army withdrew. Neither his identity nor his fate have ever been established, reported by some to have been executed, and by others to be still alive. This music comes from the CD 'Image Conscious', music loosely hung on enduring news images. Music and video by Plug.
