Tiananmen Sqaure Massacre




Well its been 20 years and China still refuses to acknowledge the massacre that occurred in the midst of a friendly student protest about democracy in China. Still, the new generation of chinese people have no idea of the horror that occurred at the hands of their own government. It is an outrage that such a government has been able to sweep such an atrocity under the proverbial rug. It is even more of an atrocity that the Olympic Game- something that symbolises freedom and unity was allowed to be held in a country that can't even be honest with its own people or diplomatic with its neighbours (Tibet). China remains to be one of the dominant financial superpowers and since the economic turmoil has gained greater power in the financial world lending the US Government another trillion dollar loan. However, if China wishes to be recognized as an emerging super power, it must make some serious changes to its government's leadership methods and diplomatic relations.
