Denial

It's been 20 years since the horrific events in Tianenmen Sqaure took place. And these Chinese government still refuse to acknowledge what happened, even going so far as to block several websites ahead of the anniversary.

Tianenmen Sqaure yesterday was filled with police, uniformed and plain clothed (although you could spot them a mile off - all wearing the same shirt!), ensuring no protests or anniversary gatherings could take place. Journalists and news teams were turned away, and the government simply refuses to recognise it's disgusting behaviour twenty years ago.

China is rapidly becoming a major economic player on the global scene. Isn't it about time they started treating their citizens, and the rest of the world, with a little respect? Pretending things don't happen and censoring free speech on the internet is not the type of behaviour any one of us here on the Meridian 13 News team want to see from a dominant political world power.
