  • Law is law. Those who break it suffer the consequences. Thats what a good people governing is all about. These protesters broke the law by protesting when they know its prohibited and got what they ask for. Sad what happened to them, but they should've just stick to studying in university and expand their knowledge instead of doing pointless stuff like this, then things would've turned out different.

  • that tank man live in canada

  • The West translated this movement as for democracy. It's wrong. My parents were there, and they were calling for end on government corruption and better living standard. This is why it wasn't nation wide and ended quickly.

  • @TelpPov Democracy and end to corrupt and better living standard go hand in hand. This has been proven through thousands of nation's history throughout the years.

    Fucking brainwshed CCP bots.

  • @TheDualEconomist rofl, if this were a movement for democracy, it would been nation wide. This dissident said, the majority of Chinese want to replace the CCP, if that's the case CCP wouldn't be able to stop it. Even today CCP still 80 million members 6% of the population. You are just another bandwagon china hater who like your government is suddenly focused on China to blame the free falling of ur own society.

  • Isn't the situation in china the same today?

    Same communist country

  • The Communists admitted they never caught the boy after this, those men who escorted him could have been concerned citizens. If he is alive, he probably knows the impact of his actions and likely will not come forward.

  • He wasn't ran over by tanks. I saw a footage of him being escorted quickly by the police after the tank hold up. he was never seen again.

  • @mariogalunic not police, other citizens rushed him off knowing he is in danger.

  • Wait, Wait, Wait, Wait, Wait, Wait, Wait, Wait, Wait, Wait.... This IS NOT banned in China? Huh..

  • 0:31 is that lady behind him smiling???

  • There were all sorts of reporters and photographers watching this act of protest, and not a single one of them tried to find out who he was?

  • Pretty sure they assassinated him.

  • The only reason for China to be number 2 is because it`s communist.

  • “True Patriotism is standing up for what’s right when the government is wrong.”

    Quoted by ANONYMOUS

  • "In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot."

    Quoted by Mark Twain

  • (continuing) Also....the Chinese government gave the occupants weeks of time to get out of the square, and were pretty clear about what would happen if they stayed. Of course, there is no excuse for killing innocent people, but it puts the situation in a different perspective.

  • @DaXia333

    i'd love to read up on the tiananmen incident. especially about the thefts, murders, violence and rapes by the demonstrators you commented on. if you could provide sources i'd really appreciate it. since i can't find anything on that subject.

    thanks.

  • @MrPleasethink You're not going to find much info on that in English, since pretty much no westerners were present, and those who were present was media, and media wants stories that sells, so of course they will report about the MASSACRE IN TIANANMEN SQUARE, where the evil government CRUSHED and killed thousands of INNOCENT students who just wanted to help their country. But just google for: truth about tiananmen square massacre and you should find some useful material

  • @MrPleasethink I have lived in China for almost 10 years, and I have met some people who actually participated in the demonstration. These people are good friends, because most Chinese are very reluctant to speak about this, especially with strangers. But they describe a picture thats far from as peaceful and innocent as media makes it look. There were lots of "hooligans" that joined just to get a chance to attack the police without getting arrested etc.

  • @MrPleasethink Just like the whole "free tibet" thing, TAM sq. massacre has been twisted by both Chinese and western media to get a story that benefits them. The truth is that both a huge chunk of the protesters and the government were equally guilty to what happened.

  • @DaXia333

    if the chinese government has video footage of the tiananmen protests just like this one they have for the '88 protests in tibet( watch?v=YsykCQKjg4w ) they should release it. they film the demonstrators to identify them later.

    so if the tiananmen protesters actually were violent, the chinese government should have footage of that. but i can't find any footage of violent demonstrations in tiananmen.

    watch?v=XJBnHMpHGRY

    i don't trust chinese sources. they censor things going out and in

  • @MrPleasethink If they had footage, would you believe it? I think that you already have made up your mind about what happened, and nothing I say will change it. If what you think happened is true or not doesn't matter, because its what you have chosen to believe, and I can accept that. But keep in mind that things are never as simple as they seem, and everything happens for a reason.

    Have a nice life.

    /D

  • @DaXia333

    the difference is, i only believe something when it has factual evidence to back it up.

    and yes, if i was provided with sufficient factual evidence of the supposedly violent demonstrators i would believe it.

    receiving three comments that talk about 'my friends friend said this' and 'google it' just doesn't seem to do it for me. i am still open to receiving sources to your claims. as long as you provide proof for what you say. i know things are never simple but i don't like blind faith

  • I dont in any way support the actions of the Chinese government, but the demonstrations were far from as "peaceful" as you might think they were when u watch these videos. You have to consider that almost a million people crammed into and occupied the T.A.M square. There were murders, thefts, violence and rapes. Not everyone was a peaceful student! And a lot of criminals took advantage of the situation. Also...(will continue below..or above?)

  • Mainland Chinese <---------locusts

  • OMG it's Wei Jing Sheng! Poor guy had to be in Chinese prison for 15 years.

  • I'm glad I am Taiwanese and not Chinese. =D

  • @guitarhamster102 ew all asians are gross. like it matters, kill yourself

  • @NoiThinkiWillStay at least there not as ignorant as Americans and aren't fucking pussy there also not all fucking obese

  • @OPandroids lol jealous cuz america is better

  • @NoiThinkiWillStay

    i don't think you understand what's happening in the US. the OWS protests and police clashes. people shot in the head with rubber bullets leading to fractured skulls. all of this police brutality just because people are demonstrating. remind you of anywhere else people are not allowed to demonstrate peacefully?

    i'll guess that you're not from bangladesh because you think all asians are "gross".

    OPandroids is from Canada. Life in Canada is hell of a lot better than the US.

  • @MrPleasethink too long didn't read

  • @NoiThinkiWillStay

    sorry i didn't know you suffered from ADD. my bad.

  • @MrPleasethink I don't. I just don't wanna waste my time reading your shitty lecture about asains and there squinty gross yellow eyes.

    HURR HURR HURR

  • @NoiThinkiWillStay

    if you live in the US and are just 'trolling' around saying "ew all asians are gross" just to get reaction out of asians on youtube. then i propose you look carefully at your life and what you're doing with it, look at what's happening in the US where the Leading republican Presidential candidate thinks, drug users should be executed and poor children should clean toilets to earn money, and think about how you can ACTUALLY do something with your life.

  • There is no tank man, we all are our own tank man, and we need tank mans all over the World in this very precise moment!

  • @obamaizmanchurian He didn't send tanks and kill people. lmfao it aint THAT bad. Just a lot of power trippin pigs beating people up.

  • The sad thing is, the Chinese government probably had him killed behind closed doors after this...

  • @AlienBeliever897 yea social media companies give information to whoever the government wants to know about.

  • @AlienBeliever897 no way they didn't kill him then they won't kill him now

  • This isn't real communism, this is fascism. If we had real communism, we would have Peace and no war like the Americans do it all over the world.

  • I fucking hate China.....

  • @zikazivac94 Dont hate China, hate the CCP. They are the ones who created this mess

  • @Feili642 You say don't hate China.... Look at this, and tell me how I can not hate Most of them.

    /watch?feature=player_embedded­&v=8VhqWymBNmc

  • @ZoneWare I know, I've seen that clip many times. And it is hard to not be critical, but remember that there are also people like the Tankman, who wants a free China. Who wants a difference but alone they can't go anywhere, China hides these people and keep them either locked up or in a grave.

    Yes, many Chinese are ignorant and quite foolish. But there are also freedom fighters, who wants their voice to be heard. =)

    Don't worry, I am not accusing you or anything.

  • @zikazivac94 no, you hate the government, not the chinese. learn to speak.

  • @zikazivac94 Racist fuck go suck a dick u sad cunt

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @zikazivac94 Fuck you bitch.

  • @LionTipu I just love all these offended chinese's comments. xD

  • Jiang Zemin said in an interview about this guy, "I think never killed."

  • HOLD UP TANKS! LIKE A BOSS

  • i really do hope china gets rid of communism

  • UhMysteryGuest...read up on your history.

  • who ever he was.... hes a fucking boss

  • i bet he has been imprisoned since the incedent

  • nananananananananananana TANK MAAAAN!

  • Americans are so fake, make it look like they care about Chinese people or Asia. In fact, Americans won't like China even if it's a democratic country. Did americans really care or value the chinese died here?No. US dropped ATOMIC BOMB on Japan killing 140000 people and treat Asian Americans in US like shit!

  • @Planetimage2 What your saying makes no sense. You say American's don't like the Chinese and then mention the Japanese? Did you know that they are two different groups of people? China was at war with Japan during the time, did you know that? Have you ever heard about the rape of Nanking by the imperial Japanese forces? I like the Chinese people very much, their government is shit though.

  • @Shriner66 I know my asian history and everything about rape of Nanking as well as both Chinese and Japanese culture. I know that Asians indeed wasn't treated by white people like human or their own. I know that too well..

  • @Planetimage2 Or we could have invaded Mainland Japan and lost a million men and killed even more innocent people through collateral damage. Get your facts straight.

  • @Planetimage2 China and Japan are two seperate places. America dropped a bomb on japan cause they attacked U.S ground. China has nothing to do with WW2.

  • @bono12bono Yes,in fact China does have something to do with WW2,they got attakced by the japanese and many were killed

  • @Planetimage2 Maybe you should pick up a book before spouting out bullshit. China and Japan are two different places. Moron

  • @CONKER17 wait somebody tool you Japan & China are the same

    wtf?

  • @soviet507 Yeah.....that Planetimage2 guy thinks they are the same

  • 0:24 ='[[

  • He's dead. If it's this easy for the government to claim that he's still alive, then it's easy enough to just kill him.

  • without you fucking US, everyone of us will live in peace

  • @andreyincao hahah ur funny

  • @andreyincao That's hilarious, now go have fun with the middle east! :D

  • @rescuemeinwar your the most hilarious one sheeple

  • @andreyincao I'm just saying.....living without one country will not change the state of the Earth, it's just impossible....and for you to think that way, shows just how ignorant you are...

  • If they still dont know who that guy was and the Chinese government seems to know who he is I can only assume the so called 'tank man' was working for the chinese or other government. a spy. whatever you wanna call it...this was all staged. That man stoped a Line of tanks. why didnt the tanks spread across and avoid the annoying 'little' student? I love how The One world government fools US. Hate them fuckers.

  • @HaBenOni wtf think about what your saying: the Chinese governement wil send a spy to embarrass themselves?

  • China missed out on its one and only oppurtunity to topple its government. There wil unfortunately never be another Tianamen Square...

  • This man is such an inspiration! Why do we kill each other, it's just pathetic and stupid. Grow up earth

  • That government won't live for long. No government in history could ever depend on terror to keep control, it happened to France And Russia.

  • @raiders16074 France and Russia are not stories with happy endings.

  • @i2aymond France is Russia not yet they dont know how to deal with captelism ti will fail sooner or later and return to a more stable state liek comunism btw being obejctive.

  • @raiders16074 yes it happend to France and Russia and.....England Germany Spain Portugal Austria Switserland Italy Actuley nearley all of Europe the USA North and south african All of asia ecsept the himalaia countries Australia etc

  • We'll always Support you! " The Brave Chinese Patriots of Tiananmen Square.

    You have a friend in the USA.

  • Mystery? He was beaten, raped and killed.

  • it's not a mystery, it's censorship and media control

  • Like this video said that they cant find the TANK MAN

    and i think if he watches this video PLEASE THUMPS UP FOR HIM FOR THE TANK MAN NO FOR ME FOR HIM A HERO.

    TANK MAN WILL LIVE FOREVER

  • What we need is Socialism ofc to be able to create that we need kapetelism Socialistic capetelism is being made in western europe.

  • @MrTimothytim HAHAHA thats probally the funniest thing ive heard today, lol@solialism.

  • @jonathan46jonathan i dont get the funny part?

    

  • @MrTimothytim "What we need is Socialism"

  • @jonathan46jonathan ohh let me guess ure a american or english who the onley thing he knows about socialism is that its related to comunism and comunism would be bad dude think for ureself 1 sec whats more important that the goverment has money to do ? with or the goverment having money to improve peoples lives socialism improves peoples live u can say about the U.S.S.R what u want but then they hade a house heat food jobs and education we need kapetelism to support that Kapetelistic socialism.

  • @MrTimothytim Kapetelism?

  • @jonathan46jonathan Capitalism i didnt translate it beause its a name and names shouldnt be translated didnt know its called diffrant in english.

  • @mojobanjo88 America's economic system (My countrie's too) Is bullshit also. We have crisis every some years, and now most of my family isn't working because there are no jobs, same happening arround the world with our system.

  • TANK MAN WILL LIVE FOREVER

  • @mojobanjo88 so you're proud to be a traitor

  • Ah better living standards.... the granddaddy of all arguments. Then when you're in a recession they'll say ok stop twisting my arm democracy for all!!!!!

  • @mojobanjo88 yeah fuck it, i'm sorry but seeing tank man and his courage made me feel better and that's why i wrote this rubbish comment. sorry mate

  • he got lucky that the guy in the tank wasnt a cold basterd or he would have been crushed

  • @eftultimate they were probably ordered to because it woulda made china look bad to the rest of the world

  • before i enter in this video , i knew what some idiot .. will write some crap about " chuck norris " in a video what is not about him..

  • @nowayou15 well it wasn't intentional. seeing tank man i felt better and began that chuck norris shit. tank man was epic. and i'm sorry about my behaviour

  • before i enter in this video , i knew what an some idiot will write some crap about " chuck norris " in a video what is not about him..

  • There is no hope for that brave man. It is almost certain that he is dead, with a bullet through the back of his head and buried in a shallow, unmarked grave. The chinese government will shoot you and bill your family for the bullet. They are NOT nice people, no matter how good they try to make themselves look in their propaganda.

    @UhMysteryGuest They have been Communists since the forty's. The fact is, Communism is a form of totalitarianism

  • he is a hero

  • At 0:20, if you noticed the armored vehicle hitting several bumps, I hope those weren't people getting ran over. :x

  • So sad. China had the hardliners by the balls and let them go. It may be another generation until that opportunity comes again.

  • That is said

    O_o

  • you know what's said, im probably the only student at my school who knows about this, that says alot about my generation.

  • @TheJizznet I agree.

  • Child vs Tank

    watch?v=cj3xGkNTgQg

    real badass 

  • China wasn't even Communist at the time, it was totalitarian!

  • @UhMysteryGuest Yes it was.

  • @UhMysteryGuest China has nothing to do with Communism.

  • @UhMysteryGuest - communism is a form of totalitarianism!- there wouldn't have been major protest to get rid of communism if it weren't communist! e.g.- you wouldn't see major protests in the US trying to get rid of monarchism

  • @kalslater Unfortunately, and I hate mentioning it, Communism is an idea for a government that gives all to the people 100% equally while taking none for itself. Best way I can describe it is, think of a scale, that weights your efforts and distributes it equally among the people. Each person under this system has their efforts distributed, the Communist government would be that scale. It so happens that NO Country has been able to implement that system cause in practice it simply does not work.

  • @kalslater With that said, it's the reason why I really think the best Government system is found in the U.S. Given it's not perfect but none the less it is the best found world wide. It provides a service to the people at all times, while never retaining any total power for itself. Any loss of power the people of the U.S. lost can only be blamed on the people. If you're only voting for Presidents that's only 1 out of 3 houses in which 2 of the 3 are as or more important to vote for.

  • @Peacekeeper2403 - I don't believe is the best. However I will agree the United States' one is probably one of the better one's along with the UK's Westminster system- which has probably been most democratically rectified in Australia

  • @kalslater I will agree there are great systems out there, and to each with potentials for greater things. I just see the U.S. system to have the greatest potential of all. I may be wrong, I hope to be right :P, either way it's better then a system that allows a single crazed man to take control over millions of individual lives. Hopefully the future will give rise to more freedoms and tolerance for each others individual beliefs.

  • @Peacekeeper2403 i think you are wrong: the U.S. system depends on China to be able to exist, if China would become a democratic society where every one had as many rights as over here, america's capitalist system would fail. Thats just my opinion...

  • @Pwnsauce0 Really? I'm sorry but how old are you? The U.S. Government is independent from any one in the world. Our ECONOMY is tightly tied with China NOW because of a simple police established after the Second Great War or WWII. All companies that export jobs get taxed deductions and benefits in an attempt to promote peace in part because of common interest. Problem is companies fell in love with exporting so much we got left with out anything here.

  • @Pwnsauce0 China was the biggest nation companies were exporting too. After China finally adapted to the new changes in it's country decided to adopt a fake Capitalist Economy which gave it a great position during this bad economy world wide. Fake Capitalism in China refers to the fact that the Chinese Government has direct control of the way companies operate, how their wealth is distributed if their Government doesn't approve of it and even if a company is a success. That is not Capitalism.

  • @Pwnsauce0 Here in the United States the Worst the Government can do to support or destroy a rivaled company is commit laws that simplify the growth or hinder the growth of a company while consumers promote the amount of money or if it continues to operate in the market. Thus Consumers Drive the Free Market System here. Obama's plans to help the economy were backwards to the Free Market System and caused rivals to compare it to Communism at times.

  • @UhMysteryGuest idk if this is a joke but a totalitarian regime is one that includes total control over it's citizens and economy. Indicating Communism, so in fact you have absolutely no point.

  • @UhMysteryGuest Go to search it on wikileak. You will find sth surprise.

  • @UhMysteryGuest  true true in fact most countries that say they are communist like china or north korea are really totalitarian one man dictatorships

  • @UhMysteryGuest What are you talking about The People's Republic of China was established in 1949. MAO brought the idea back from the Soviets.

  • @UhMysteryGuest Search "Wikileaks: no bloodshed inside Tiananmen Square, cables claim " in google please.

  • @UhMysteryGuest Same thing.

  • @UhMysteryGuest After seeing what happens in most communist countries, I'd like to ask you--what's the difference?

  • @UhMysteryGuest China has bin communist since Mao

  • @UhMysteryGuest dude chinese have been communist for over 70 years

  • I have a mystery? those tank has a courage to crush those peaceful protests but they don't have the courage to crush "Mysterious Stranger"

  • if he comes out and hes in china, he will die

  • @godwhyisthistaken judging from what he did, I doubt if he fears death...

  • @Epimpin101 The really sad part is 1% of Chinese University students know. Look it up, so sad, so funny. so disturbing.. Most Chinese citizens think he is a myth.

  • it all comes down to money and power...

  • @ 0:20 ---> What the tank's track, it's trampling people.

  • @halafradrimx

    not a tank, looks like apc..

  • @AznDuD333 It's Type 79 tanks (Copied from Russian T-75).

  • @ervin920

    Shit like this dent happen in Taiwan or as I like to call it REPUBLIC OF CHINA (R.O.C.)

    Fuck, if it weren't for PRC, Taiwan would be in the U.N. Like it was before, not communists using the ROC name

  • holy shit this is why PRC is fuckin retarded. Their own people dont even like it wtf......

  • @MrSibie no, fuck you

  • dam i teared up at :28-:35

  • GO TO PHILIPPINES AND LEARN HOW WE PROTEST AND ACHIEVE DEMOCRACY PEACEFULLY...

  • @jovetbarcelo and also how to be rich and organized as a nation because of that 'democracy'

  • @phektus let us try to make a distinction between Capitalism and Democracy. Due to China's example, we now can assume that Capitalism and Democracy do not always go hand in hand. We must distinguish economic labels of a country and political policy labels of a country.

    In my opinion, China is neither a republic or a democracy. There are no elections at a regional/national level, only at local levels. It is an undisputed one party system of government. The citizens do not hold control over gov't

  • @jovetbarcelo by killing 35 journalists and hundreds of other people to cover the election? Nice democratic country.

  • @hck112 oh brix...where the hell you've got that?

  • why fucking the american goverment not tell the rape of nanking

    man story alway get big this is nothing compare to japanesee shit and american who every tell is shit is fucking shit u know that tank man

    i can not stand this fuck report because i am stick of lie and lie

  • @skystarlord .... What?

  • Is the N. Korean Gov. defended by the Chinese Gov.?

  • Is the N. Korean Gov. defended by the Chinese Government?

  • @mrpepperoriginal not sure what spurred this question, but yes. In the scenario that the north korean government fell from power then its citizens would be free to leave and tens of thousands of people would flood into china and add a lot of instability to the region, hence china's support of the regime.

  • where do they take a dump, watch where you step :/

  • @mastercheif11141 In bathrooms, like everyone else. Are you retarded?

  • @Omnominable did you see all those people out there? Imagine the line for that bathroom.

  • tank man was probably executed if he hasn't been found out by now.

  • china = unbelievable outlaw nation

    china = chinese communist party`s hard despotism nation

    china = death camp and secret police is running for kill ccp`s against people

    china = ccp killed extraordinary amount of their citizen

    china = evil aggressor nation

    china = enemy of all normal people

  • He is probably being tortured.

  • 2012 is the pivot point for change. Either we die trying or live like cowards. The winds of change is coming. The end to all dictatorships and communism is near. Together we can succeed and united we will overcome.

  • @iceman5815 yea......probably not gonna happen though.....people are cunts.....were fucked

  • @WheepingWillow2 there is litterally video of when he leaves the tanks and they roll away ur an idiot

  • As long as tank pilots dont run over tank men - mankind can never be completely enslaved.

  • I REMEMBER HIS INCIDENT VERY WELL. THE MAN GOT RUN OVER !!

  • USA should send the apache(helicopter)  in that date, instead of 5.000 civilian deaths, it would be soldiers

  • I am Standing up now for America, will you stand with me or Lay down? Please see my facebook Notes for more info on How I'm standing up to Be President in 2012 and stand for all people in the world. I will make a New UN and all people from Earth can vote. I will give Americans control of state Legislatures & Congress Day one in the Whitehouse. Will you stand with me? or see me alone in 20 years in a video Please Don't waste this chance to run your own laws and free the worlds people
