Année après année, le pouvoir chinois efface la mémoire du massacre de Tian’anmen

Le 4 juin, jour anniversaire de l’écrasement du mouvement démocratique chinois en 1989, est une date extrêmement sensible en Chine continentale, où tout ce qui peut s’y rapporter est soigneusement censuré. À Hong Kong, où cette flamme a été portée pendant trente ans, l’événement est également devenu tabou dans la presse.

Petit rappel de ce que Xi Jin Ping, les daubes tankies et libertarienne ne veulent pas qu'on se rappelle :

#Tiananmen 5 juin 1989

Trente ans après la répression de Tiananmen, comment la photo de "Tank Man", l'homme qui a tenu tête aux chars, est entrée dans l'histoire

L'inconnu qui a tenté, le 5 juin 1989, d'arrêter une file de blindés près de cette place centrale de Pékin, est devenu l'incarnation du courage face à l'armée.

How did we get here?6d ago

We just passed the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre and you might have come across some people saying things like this:

"What began as legitimate frustrations over corruption was hijacked by external forces - NGOs, strategists on the ground, and Western media orchestration.
The same pattern repeated over and over in Serbia, Georgia, Hong Kong, Ukraine and just recently in Iran."

They may also deny that there was any massacre, claiming that was nothing but western propaganda, and siding with China.

They call themselves "anti-imperialists" but the more appropriate name for people like this is "campists". Campists do rightly criticize the US and Israel especially. However, instead of understanding that *all* states are toxic institutions, they play a game of picking sides and will promote states that oppose the US/"The West", even if those states themselves perpetrate heinous horrors. They'll side with states like Russia, Iran, China, even North Korea.

If you'd like to learn more about campism and why it's wrong, here are some very informative links to explore:

I also have a link to a substantial number of very graphic and horrifying photographs documenting what actually happened to protestors in China around Tiananmen Square, contrary to false narratives from campists. The photos are extremely disturbing so I'm reluctant to share it here, but I will share it privately if you feel it's important for you to evaluate the evidence.

Année après année, le pouvoir chinois efface la mémoire du massacre de Tian’anmen

Le silence de la presse est éloquent. L’essentiel des médias de Hong Kong, comme les quotidiens South China Morning Post et Ming Pao, ou la RTHK, l’audiovisuel public du territoire, observent une stricte retenue en cette journée du 4 juin, date anniversaire du massacre des manifestants de la place Tian’anmen par les chars chinois à Pékin en 1989.

Alors que ces mêmes organes de la presse hongkongaise, à l’image de la société civile, ont entretenu la flamme du mouvement démocratique réprimé dans le sang pendant plus de trente ans, ne reste plus aujourd’hui que Hong Kong Free Press (HKFP) pour porter une voix un tant soit peu dissidente.

Photo : Lui Yuk-lin, une ancienne activiste en faveur de la démocratie, se recueille dans une rue limitrophe du parc Victoria de Hong Kong, où une veillée aux chandelles a été organisée chaque 4 juin en mémoire des victimes du massacre de Tian’anmen. La veillée est aujourd’hui interdite.

“Tank Man”, the man who stopped the tanks in Tiananmen - IN ACTION)))

On June 1989, one day after the violent military crackdown on the Tiananmen Square protests, an anonymous man stood in front of a column of tanks on Chang’an Avenue in Beijing. The scene was photographed by several international photojournalists and became one of the most recognizable images of the 20th century. The photograph of “Tank Man” came to symbolize nonviolent direct action and civil resistance against military force. The protests had begun weeks earlier with the participation of students, workers, … Read more
