On this 25th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown on student protesters, there is no remembrance occurring at the site, even though thousands gathered in Hong Kong. According to The Washington Post, "The only indicator of that day’s lingering effect: Swarms of police patrolling the square and stationed every few feet on the roads leading up to it. For weeks, security in Beijing had grown tighter, and by Wednesday, the heart of the capital was in lock down. Tens of thousands of informants were recently mobilized to look for suspicious activity, according to state media. Foreign journalists were called in and warned. Meanwhile, authorities had jailed or escorted out of the city those most likely to criticize the Communist government." The entire in-depth reporting can be read at the Post.
