The Tiananmen Square Massacre

14 03 2008

In June 5th 1989, Tiananmen Square had witnessed one of the darkest moment in China History – The Tiananmen Square Massacre.At least 3000 thousand people  had been killed by Chinese army (Timperlake, Edward. 1999).  However, younger generations  born after the massacre did not know anything about the incidents. The Government of China had blocked all kinds of communication that may lead to news about this incidents.  I was amazed to learn how the Government had filtered communication in China. For example, if we use Google Images in China, we will never be able to find a single picture about the Massacre while thousands of pictures about the Massacre can be found when we google from Singapore.  Even a free communication channel like the Internet is also controlled and filtered, what else can be truly free?  CheckVisible();
