China: Tiananmen Square Protests

This article talking about the detail of the Tiananmen Square Protests. This was an incident in which the military used force against demonstrators, mainly students, who had gathered in Tiananmen Square in the People's Republic of China to demand democracy, resulting in a large number of casualties. 

I chose this article because I was talking with a Chinese friend about the history and she told me that she had never heard of the Tiananmen Square massacre before coming to America. I was very surprised to learn that even though it was their country's history, the information was restricted by the government. What do they have to gain by regulating and hiding the facts? China still has censors scouring the Internet and deleting any references to the Tiananmen Square incident. I feel that the decisions that were made then still rule the country, with the party in full control and not allowing its power to be shaken once again by a national movement.
