“Beijing hit back Wednesday at US Secretary of State Marco Rubio for saying that the world will ‘never forget’ the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown, describing his remarks as an ‘attack’ on China. Chinese troops and tanks forcibly cleared peaceful protesters from Beijing’s Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989, after weeks-long demonstrations demanding greater political freedoms. The exact toll is unknown but hundreds died, with some estimates exceeding 1,000 people. China’s communist rulers have since sought to erase any public mention of the crackdown. … ‘The erroneous statements by the US side maliciously distort historical facts, deliberately attack China’s political system and developmental path, and seriously interfere in China’s internal affairs,’ [Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian] said.” (06/04/25)
