  • God bless those students and god bless the "tank man." Hopefully they taught us all something about freedom and what it's worth.

    Ron Paul 2012

  • 7000 human beings slaughtered by their own government for excercising the inalienable right of free speech. This is a human right.

    This, folks, is why you should not take your government lightly. This can happen anywhere, at any time.

    Here in America, we need to get back to the basic principles laid out in our Constitution.

    I strongly recommend checking out Ron Paul for 2012. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

    Liberty. Freedom. No more monster government.

    Ron Paul 2012.

  • This is pure crap. I was at the Square two weeks prior and 4 years later. I have many relatives in China, Beijing included. I examine the crime scene and spoke to the victims- student leaders. Several were outside of China. I found the story from the Chinese government is much closer to the real truth- a handful vs. 7,000 in this video at 3:00. A real wake up calls for me to see a HUGE Western propaganda machine at work. See the Tank man again, see the tank driver is making all efforts to avoid.

  • @kw0s fuck off you Chinese fuck...the fact is your government massacred thousands of unarmed people...

  • @Dgormont148 Were you born? It is obvious the Western propaganda is working for you and your only source. Thanks for your clueless reply.

  • @kw0s born in the greatest country in the world...i think you and everyone else reading this knows which that is

  • i love war death every where yay!!!!!

  • I still don't see what the big deal is. If they don't like it, they can just move to another country, like Russia or maybe Nigeria. How hard is that. Just pack your chopsticks and walk away. This guy is as stupid as that chick that stood in front of the Israeli bulldozer and got run over. I hope the Chinese government took this guy around the corner and explained how things work. Maybe he was retarded or something.

  • @aztecguide01

    Dear, I'm so glad that I'm not you.

  • @valemiglio Me too  :)

  • Chinese did it all right! - crushed the liberal-ass vermin, did not listen to western lie and the result - superpower, the first place in the world economy, high developed state, high developing army, science, education.

  • Good thing Taiwan didn't end up like this.

  • @guitarhamster102 That`s because they left when shit hit the fan. Good thing indeed.

  • Why didn't the tank just run him over? He wasn't in front of the treads. He would have just been knocked down.

  • @aztecguide01 you didn`t fuckin understand any of it...

  • Free the Weed

  • Occupy China, 1989. Bravery and honor is staring certain death in the face and not backing down.

  • had to stop it at 2.26 .... jus for a beather, its a bit touching n emotional. i hope anyone and every country can live free and have freedom!

  • Am I the only one who was struck by the irony of the Thomas Jefferson quote, immediately followed by the part about putting the principle of free press to the test? If you recall, after he became president Thomas Jefferson actually did not approve of the free press. I thought that was rather ironic. Also, the freedom of speech and press are not really a universal freedom, regardless of what Americans think. It may seem like a universal freedom, but in reality it depends on where and when.

  • "To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men."

  • The protesters were communists, the oppressors were revisionists who turned the country capitalist.

  • what is the name of the song??????????

  • Comment removed

  • @dmonkey38 It is the main theme of the movie "Black Hawk Down". Search "Hans Zimmer main theme of black hawk down"

  • @Zipzap112 oh hey thanks

  • Not to sound insensitive, but if the guy absolutely refused to get out of the way of a tank, I would have just run him over or go around. I would have someone politely ask him to get out of the way, and if he refused to comply after repeated attempts, I would just drive the tank forward.

  • @DeltaGhost78 ..and the people you've killed so far, do you feel they deserved it or were they unarmed and innocent?

  • @trevorrobertporter Who exactly have I killed?

  • I can't believe they just killed too many , just like that .. and those people were killed by their own army who is supposed to be protecting them .. but did they get away with it ?

  • @Fishing6Productions

    Armies don't protect the people. They protect the government.

  • @SSTTEEAALLTTHH unfortunately you're right :(

  • fuck the system.. we need more people like this

  • This is propaganda at its best. I believe PLA got control of the Square quickly. Later staged the riot scene by burning their vehicles per local witness.

    On US news, I saw the Chinese workers patching bullets holes using basic hand tools on the Revolution monument in the square. Fact, no shots were fired in the Square, shots were over one mile away. I check out the monument. There were no patches. Translation: Hollywood staged act?

  • what song is this???

    anyone??please

    ?

  • @017joshua gortoz a ran

  • @deceneu1983 thanks!

  • @017joshua

    i think its on black hawk down

    ahahhaha yeah it is just searched it ;)

  • @Ashburn1232 thanks dude!!

  • no, i think all of those guys that ran up to him were fellow protesters and were worried for him so they quickly rushed him away. it doesnt look like he struggled.

  • I heard the guy was put in jail for many years then never heard from again. The Chinese government claimed he was free and alive yet no one has seen him since. Can anyone tell me something else?

  • Beautiful video and very sad. I admire those many thousands of students and Beijing citizens who stood up to the Community Party's thuggery. Even if young Chinese are unaware of this due to censorship, the rest of the world (and those directly involved) will certainly never forget.

  • I was only 3 during this sad time.My mom said that when she saw Tankman,she cried.She said my dad was speechless.Let those of us with democracy NEVER take it for granted as people are still dying for it.

  • @tenfed1861 I was also 3 at the time.First time I saw this video was 6 years ago..

    Today I was helping my mom with some DMV issues online..

    She saw this as my desktop wallpaper with the quote " The only thing necessary for the triump of evil is for good men to do nothing" by Edmun Burke

    She stopped stared and sed "damm right" but in spanish

    IDK if she actually read it or simply remembered that day.

    After. she sed thank god for good men and looked at me :) I haven't felt this good in years

  • @tenfed1861 I agree with you far and away. Takes a lot of courage to stand up to a goverment that could kill you and not even flinch about it. Makes me think about my goverment, here in the US. We're sruggleing to get out of this hell we've made for us. If and when China take over as the world superpower, its like tossing a rock 10 times the size of jupiter into the sun, you dunno what the f will happen.

    Live free, or die trying. I'll die for freedom if need be, that or go totally insane... v_v

  • @tenfed1861 You live in America under a Republic of Oligarchs who represent corporations and banks and you talk about democracy?

  • The name of the song: Gortoz A Ran (Denez Prigent & Lisa Gerrard ).

    PEACE

  • i wish all humanity was like the tank man

  • The chinese government did wrong here...They sould have just kettled them lot for as long as they can resist. sooner or later they'll give up. no food no water no nothing just students protesting against a fat communist bastard. who is dumb enough to send infantry to stop a crowd from protesting. what a fool.

  • QUIEN ERA ESE HOMBRE?

  • didnt put this bbc1 bbc2 or sky news wounder why that is? skum bags Jesus will pravile!

  • Students sat on their arears got slaughtered by guns and tanks in Tiananmen Sq. Veterans fought for their country came home to be slaughtered by guns and tanks in Washington DC. known by few as the BONUS MARCH.

  • Anything worh its value, is worth fighting for..

  • Lies and More Damned Lies!

  • I wonder what was pass true the head of this guy. Wake up one morning went to the market bought some stuff went back trough the Tiananmen Square saw the tanks and said: F*cked enough is enough. True hero!

  • If you don't have freedom you have nothing.

  • @MsPt1000 If you're a Libyan you have nothing; if you're a Iraqi you have nothing; If you're a Afghanistan you have nothing.

  • See, the problem here is, not that there's anything wrong with democracy or intelllectualism, it's the fact that these intellectuals didn't realise that they are only a small proportion of the nation. The people must be educated and the country must prosper, before democracy can be administered. Democracy is slow, and relatively inefficent, therefore not suitable for a developing China. It simply wasn't the right time.

  • live free or die trying.

  • china was unjust into doing that to their own people. it was very crule. They were just trying to protest something they didnt not believe and waned to change china. i'm learning about about this at school and it made me very sad that, that many people died and there could of been more that we dont know bout. yes china has improved but for what money and to be a world power? it makes no sense and most people can't aford to have their children in the cities so they stay with the grand parents :(

  • Hans Zimmer songs

    

  • May the Tank Man be remembered as a true hero.

  • didn't google block this from chinese?

    google is scary

  • @MrJarth the chinese government told google to censor info about the tiananmen square massacre on its chinese language search engine and google complied, but gave a link to the main (uncensored) google.com version. Because google wouldn't take down the link to the uncensored search engine, the chinese gov. hacked google's system and google chose to withdraw its search engine from china.

  • @MysticusRay not quite true. Google.cn is still active.

  • @MrJarth no just in china. if the people try to google it they get happy stuff and nothing about it.

  • The people of China still have hope if the spirit of these protesters stilllives on

  • @TheDrjman1 nice

  • @TheDrjman1 Does that include wrongfully doing so? Because it was the students' killing of the troops that incited the radical responses from the government.

  • @NightmareContinues

    "Because it was the students' killing of the troops that incited the radical responses from the government."

    Brainwashed-much? You think students stood a chance against the military in a country like China? The army is always the thug of the government, alongside the police.

    People shouldn't be afraid of their governments, governments should be afraid of their people.

  • @SSTTEEAALLTTHH This is not brainwashing but factual reports of people who were at the scene. Keep in mind this protest escalated from being simply a protest to a riot. Soldiers not part of the main suppression force were brutally beaten and killed. Of course the students won't stand a chance against the military, but individual soldiers posted around the premise were attacked.

    Your choice of language-referring to armies as "thugs" of the government-displays a disturbing bias against China.

  • @NightmareContinues

    "Your choice of language-referring to armies as "thugs" of the government-displays a disturbing bias against China."

    Not really. i think all armies are government-thugs, not just the Chinese. The Chinese government just happens to be even less democratic than what we see in the West.

  • @NightmareContinues

    Well, you know what JFK said. "Those who make a peaceful protest impossible will make a violent revolution inevitable.".

    i am a non-violent person, but if you infringe upon my human rights or civil liberties, I will guarantee you I will defend them, within my right to do so.

  • @SSTTEEAALLTTHH In the light of this, China is comparable to Ancient Rome in many ways. The gains of the individual is sacrificed for the nation. Also, people get hot-headed with things, even civil liberties. And its in dealing with these issues that we must exercise caution and restraint. 1989 failed due to obvious reasons, and China was not ready for it anyways. People weren't even nourished up to standards yet.

  • @NightmareContinues

    I don't believe you need a big state that tells you what to do, what to own, what to read, what to think at the tip of a bayonet to combat poverty. There is economic and intellectual poverty, my friend. Neither of them is going to advance us.

  • @NightmareContinues

    If someones takes your human rights or civil liberties, that is one of the rare occasions in which violence may be justified.

    If these students managed to take out some soldier I say: 'Good, good fucking riddance to the government-thugs.'.

  • @SSTTEEAALLTTHH Keep in mind that this country is not America. It is one with its own ideologies, cultures and beliefs. It isn't guided by the same values. It is folly to think that China value civil liberties above the financial, social-economic, and health for the general public. Fifty years ago, China was in shambles. Poverty and hunger is a problem that needs resolution before liberty can be established. China's growth has been rapid due to its strong directionality.

  • @NightmareContinues

    China's growth is due to it shaky regulation in allowing massive Western conglomerates to set up sweatshops and polluting industry there that they could not set up at home.

  • @NightmareContinues

    Here's a clue for dealing with poverty. look at the rest of the world. It can't give you an idea what to do, but it can give you an idea what not to do. Among these what not to do: state socialism, corporate capitalism and corporatism, social democracy, progressive liberalism, fascism, etc. These never solved poverty.

    I'd suggest they have a go at libertarian socialism or classical liberalism. Never been tried before in a country, might work.

  • @SSTTEEAALLTTHH China has combatted against extreme poverty, even in the light of its large territory and population. Its success to date is due to the government baby-stepping the country out of the many disasters in the past. Democracy will NOT work in China at this point. Democracy shouldn't be forced into countries that aren't economically adept to it. It will bring too much friction to this enormous country. Please keep in mind that though democracy is what a country should strive for, its

  • @NightmareContinues

    All human beings have the right to freedom. That is what I believe. No human being has the right to govern another, especially not without consent. Out of pragmatism, I am a minarchist and not a complete anarchist, but that is my ideal.

    We haven't seen a direct democracy anywhere. All we have are representative democracies and the illusion of choice in the West, and that's about as free as it gets, it goes downhill from, there (and you already started halfway downhill).

  • @NightmareContinues

    You think Mao etc. cared about the people or the common good? Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people. They care about the stat good, because the state, in a statists system, is them.

  • @SSTTEEAALLTTHH flaws are numerous and can be economically devastating. Money and, more importantly, time would be squandered in the process of democracy and this will only limit China's potentials. Things can't be rushed; a country, especially one that is highly volatile, should take baby-steps in developing liberty. And optimism could be seen everywhere.

  • @SSTTEEAALLTTHH You are very angry at this country, I'd advise you to confront why this is so.

  • @NightmareContinues

    I'm not angry at that country. I'm angry at people who feel they have the right to govern other people and beat them into conformity when they decide they disagree. I get angry at people who violate human rights. I couldn't care from which country they are.

  • @SSTTEEAALLTTHH

    nuff said and well said.

  • @sebtemple: first please watch your language. second, I was not even born during that time.

    in-order to understand my nation and myself. I ( also I believe all the Chinese) must know what truly happened in the history. if you have different story to tell about what happened. please post it up.

  • Comment removed

  • Shouldn't somebody do something? There are like, 1 Chinese person to every 3 other type of people now. I don't mean to be alarmist, but I'm getting alarmed. China has too many people, and they breed like rabbits. Something really needs to be done. It might be the government's fault. I instinctively blame the communists for this. The population used to be 400 millions, which was alright. Now it's too much. 1.7 Billion.

  • @Rentonboyo The communist gouvernment is actively fightning the population growth. Not very long ago the chinese police would beat the shit out of you if you had 2 children. Now you just have to pay extra taxes if you have 2 or more children.

    Male children are more valuable than female children in china, becouse of that a lot of female children were aborted, killed by their parents or sent in secret to the countryside. Therfore China has WAY more males than females right now.
