334 - The Tiananmen Square Massacre and Protests

The Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing, China in 1989 is one of the most important, noteworthy tragedies in modern Chinese history. It was the biggest protest against communism rule in over sixty years. But thanks to the consistent suppression and propaganda of the modern Chinese government… many if not most Chinese citizens today...don’t even know it ever happened. Why is the communist regime in charge of China so insistent on erasing the history of this event? What IS the history of this event? I learned so much about communist China's history this week and now really fully understand why the Tiananmen Square protests occurred, and why they were violently ended. I hope you learn a bunch too and get some laughs in as well. Hail Nimrod!

What's Going On With China's Propaganda Department?; Big Explosion Covered Up by Chinese State Media

In a recent conference, Xi used a famous slogan from Hong Kong’s anti-extradition movement as well as stated “The people of the country are all cheering for ‘hot dry noodles!’”

A big explosion broke out at a hotel in South China’s Zhuhai. It is believed that a gas leak caused the explosion. Officials said the local fire department is still investigating the cause of the fire. CCTV news posted on Weibo that local firefighters dispatched multiple teams, more than a dozen fire trucks, and many firefighters came to the rescue. However, CCTV claimed that only 3 people were injured in the explosion.

Locals and witnesses said there were more than 200 injured and were sent to the hospital. However official Guangdong newspaper Nanfang Daily said on Weibo that the Propaganda Department of the Doumen District Party Committee denied this claim and said that the Internet police are investigating the source of the rumor. Chinese authorities have always strictly controlled the spread of reports on major fatal incidents and related news on the Internet.

And it was 19 years ago today that terrorists launched the attacks on 9/11, and while this is a day of mourning for the United States, it has typically been a day of celebration for the Chinese leadership. This year, however, it has changed its tone, and its mouthpiece news outlets don’t appear to be using it this time in their anti-American propaganda. We'll look into why this is.

The Tiananmen Square Massacre: From China's Authoritarian Roots to the Iconic "Tank Man"

On this episode of the Resistance Library Podcast Dan and Sam discuss the iconic “Tank Man” and the Tiananmen Square Massacre as well as the recent Hong Kong protests.

China is often described as the next superpower to top America within the next few decades. At first glance, such an assertion makes sense. The country’s vast geography, natural resources, rich history, and tech-savvy populace puts it in a position to thrive in the 21st century. However, China’s rise as a superpower is not one of an overnight success, nor is it filled with pretty rainbows.

Indeed, China is one of the world’s longest lasting civilizations, with cultural and political traditions that have been passed down to succeeding generations effortlessly. With such a vast history, China had gone through its own zeniths and nadirs. As is the nature of any civilization. However, China’s modern history has been a rollercoaster ride to say the least.

Despite having a massive formal governing apparatus that would put many empires to shame, China has not always had full control of its territorial jurisdiction. Once European powers reached Chinese shores in search of riches, they soon wanted their piece of pie. That meant slowly whittling away at Chinese territory. As the first movers in the Age of Exploration, the Portuguese and their missionaries colonized Macau.

Although the Portuguese’s venture was not exclusively about riches, it inspired other European actors such as the British to go and exploit China’s vast resources. Naturally, the Qing dynasty and Britain’s interests clashed once the British wanted to expand trade inside the country. What was originally a trade dispute between a Qing government wanting to maintain trade that overwhelmingly favored China, soon turned into a full-blown conflict as seen in the Opium War.

China was handed a humiliating defeat, which saw it turn over Hong Kong to the British. This marked a turning point in Chinese history. The once mighty country slowly deteriorated both internally and externally. China soon became a punching bag for smaller, yet more militarily advanced countries that started setting up trading outposts in Shanghai. Indeed, these moves were not welcome by the Chinese and many in the Qing court, but due to the country’s decaying institutions, it could do nothing to prevent further predations.

Even empires on the Western periphery, like Imperial Russia, started to prey on China when it annexed all of the Chinese land north of the Amur River in 1858, exploiting Chinese weakness along a border that was, at the time, 4,650 miles long. As if China’s foreign reversals weren’t enough, Imperial Japan also jumped in the mix and picked apart China like other European powers. Japan put the world on notice when it crushed China in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894.

As a result of this humiliation, Japan added the island of modern-day Taiwan, the Liaodong Peninsula, and the Korean peninsula into its sphere of influence. Japan’s exploitation of its weaker mainland rival did not stop there.

Even after the Qing dynasty collapsed, nationalist leader Chiang Kai-Shek tried to put the political pieces back together during the 1920s, in an attempt to unify the country and restore Chinese greatness. However, Imperial Japan was ready to humiliate China yet again, when it invaded Manchuria in 1931, and occupied it until 1945, in an attempt to expand their industrialization efforts.

All in all, the mid-19th century up until the mid-20th century was a rocky period. It took game-changing events after World War II for China to finally get its political house in order and build itself up on its own terms.

CCP Using Conflicts To Shift Domestic Problems; National Security Law Passed,HK in Crisis

During a recent border conflict, Chinese soldiers killed 20 Indian soldiers, and Chinese authorities have not been open about casualties on their end. The incident is speeding up India’s existing push to decouple from China. At the same time, China has been stirring up other conflicts such as with Taiwan and Japan, locally, and with many other countries through its policy of “wolf warrior diplomacy” around the world.

Yet, in all cases the heavy-handed approach of China seems to be having an opposite result, and many countries are talking about distancing further from China. So why would Chinese authorities push a more aggressive stance at this time? We look into this question.

And war correspondent Michael Yon, who covered the Hong Kong protests and was later forbidden from returning to report, speaks with Crossroads about the situation in Hong Kong with the new measures to extend Beijing rule.

Trump Calls CHAZ “Domestic Terrorists”; China’s Propaganda and Censorship Exposed

President Donald Trump declared that terrorists have taken over part of Seattle with the takeover of part of Capitol Hill by protesters to create the “CHAZ” site, or “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.”

Trump said over Twitter that “Domestic terrorists have taken over Seattle,” and said if local government officials don’t take it back, then he will. The Washington Governor told Trump to “stay out of Washington's business,” and the Seattle Mayor came out in support of the protesters, calling their actions an act of “patriotism.” Meanwhile, videos and claims from the ground point to potential extortion of local businesses, and armed protesters creating justice through mob rule.

And tech companies Apple and Zoom are being criticized for folding to Chinese government censorship. Zoom is accused of shutting down accounts around the Tiananmen Square Massacre memorial, and of the Hong Kong protests. Apple is accused of removing a podcast app that could allegedly help Chinese people access uncensored information abroad.

31 Years Since the Tiananmen Massacre, Tens of Thousands Hong Kongers Defy Banned Vigil

For the first time, Hong Kong is banning the annual memorial for the Tiananmen Square Massacre, commemorating the estimated 10,000 democracy protesters killed by the Chinese Communist Party on June 4, 1989. Local authorities have banned the gathering under the claim of social distancing with the COVID-19 coronavirus, yet Hong Kong residents are ignoring the ban and are joining the memorial event.

As Chinese authorities look to extend Mainland law into Hong Kong through the new “national security laws,” the UK government is considering creating a path to citizenship for close to three million Hong Kong residents who had British passports before the handover to China. The United States is now considering similar programs for Hong Kongers looking to escape.

And as protesters take to the streets across the United States, there is a growing concern it could lead to a second wave outbreak of the new coronavirus. Within two weeks to a month, the protests could show whether or not the lockdowns were necessary and effective to slow the spread of the virus.
