20th anniversary of Tiananmen Square protests of 1989
The 20th anniversary of Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 (20周年六四遊行) was a series of rallies that took place in late May to early June 2009 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of 4 June Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, during which the Chinese government sent troops to suppress the pro-democracy movement. While the anniversary is remembered around the world; the event is heavily censored on Chinese soil, particularly in Mainland China. Events which mark it only take place in Hong Kong, and in Macao to a much lesser extent.
==Background==
In the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, thousands of students and protests had gathered in Tiananmen square, when troops opened fire. An unknown number of people were wounded or died in the incident. As the People's Republic of China has publicly embraced the one country, two systems model of governance for Hong Kong, the annual 4 June observance which has become a tradition since 1989 has continued after the transfer of sovereignty from Britain to China.〔Associated Press (3 June 2010). (Hong Kong deports creator of Goddess of Democracy statue ), ''Taipei Times'' 10 June 2010.〕 It is the only place on Chinese soil where the event is openly commemorated in any way and on any scale.〔AP (2 June 2010), ("China cartoon brings reminder of Tiananmen erased" ), ''Times of India''.〕
The 20th anniversary was commemorated in the backdrop of the release of Zhao Ziyang's memoirs to the public on 14 May 2009, entitled ''Prisoner of the State: The Secret Journal of Premier Zhao Ziyang''. That same day, Chief Executive of Hong Kong, Donald Tsang spoke in the Legislative Council on a motion demanding vindication of the Tiananmen pro-democracy movement, Tsang said he believed 'Hong Kong people will make an objective assessment of the nation's development', after noting China's economic development. His claim that he was echoing the sentiments of Hong Kong people provoked a furore, for which he quickly apologised.〔Wu, Eva (7 June 2009). "Democrats call on Tsang to join July 1 rally", ''South China Morning Post''.〕
One day before the protest march, news broke that there had been an alleged attempt on the lives of two leading political figures - leading Hong Kong democrat Martin Lee and media mogul Jimmy Lai. Lee publicly disclosed that an alleged assassin from the People's Republic of China and a HK accomplice had targeted him in 2008 after seizing a hand gun and ammunition.〔News.yahoo.com. "(Yahoo.com )." ''Hong Kong democrat claims assassination plot.'' Retrieved on 31 May 2009.〕 Jimmy Lai, a long-time critic of Beijing and the owner of ''Apple Daily'', revealed he was also the target of the assassination attempt.〔Yahoo.com. "(Yahoo.com )." ''HK democrat, media head targets in shooting plot.'' Retrieved on 22 June 2009.〕 The plot was foiled when police arrested 50-year-old would-be assassin Huang Nan-hua on 14 August 2008.〔''South China Morning Post''. "Police foil plot to kill Martin Lee".'' Retrieved on 31 May 2009.〕〔Yahoo.com. "("槍客懷李柱銘黎智英地址 稱受指使不用殺人 刺臀教訓." ) Retrieved on 22 June 2009.〕 Lee himself said, had the attempt succeeded, it would have been the worst possible nightmare for the Communist Party of China, which wouldn't have known how to handle the situation.〔
