With the 20th anniversary here BBC wrote an article about how China is handling the event. After 20 years still nine exiled students from Tianamen are still hoping for democracy in China. So much so 150,000 people in Hong Kong came out to celebrate. The authoritarian state of China barred any reporters from appearing at Tiananmen and are holding tight constraints on the vigils. This is important because this is stirring up many questions about Chinease leadership and what the people really want. It's these ideas that help spark up a change. The people and the exiled want an apology from the government for their actions, which is quite understandable. Overall it is exciting to see the stirring of ideas in China about what the people really want. Hopefully all goes well.
