Bloody, Deadly Tiananmen Massacre 20 Years Ago
Posted Under: Uncategorized
Special Edition - Thursday, June 4th, 2009
The massive student protest of 1989 was seen by the world - as was its brutal suppression by the People’s Liberation Army, sent into Beijing by nervous and angry Communist Party bosses.
From just before midnight on June 3, I spent five hours on the streets among those unarmed people being shot by their own army.
Although the political drama took place in Tiananmen Square, we roamed for miles that night and saw killings in the suburbs and back streets.
Scores of trucks thundered down Chang An Avenue towards Tiananmen Square, each with soldiers firing down every side street.
Bewildered citizens were killed as they wandered outside to investigate the noise. Others died as bullets ripped through the thin walls of their traditional hutong houses.
Students who confronted the army were faced with thousands of soldiers firing volley after volley.
It was a hellish scene - at the city’s Children’s Hospital, I saw the floor awash with blood.
The casualty figures were already being concealed as the dead and injured littered the streets. The shooting continued for several days, with the nation’s capital paralysed with shock. Hundreds were killed - perhaps even thousands.

This is MailOnline’s Kate Aide giving us an account of the horror and tragedy she witnessed first-hand in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square twenty years ago this day - June 4th, 1989. The communist Chinese government rolled tanks over their own people (peaceful protesters), squashing anyone with even the slightest thoughts of freedom. Even the curious folks who stepped outside their homes to see what was happening were gunned down. Sadly, aside from a few more McDonald’s and a Wal-Mart, not much has changed in China - freedom is still something one can only dream of.
My fellow Americans, NEVER take your freedom for granted.
