  • Im from Beijing.I never watched this until today.At that time i was 3 yrs old,i saw lots of university students on the street,i waved to them.Why the fuck did they do this????????????All i know is i ended up crying after i finished watching.........

  • and it wouldnt be far from the truth if the cia's hand would be found behind these attempts. cia's history in china goes back quite some time, and they payed off many activists who obviously didnt get shot. but they underestimated the government in power. you shouldnt forget that usa wants chinese market, always have been and will be. usa wants to rule, dominate chinese people with their rotten corrupt system which again no good for average folks in usa, nore good for chinese. just for the few.

  • the problem with chinese partizans that they cannot offer a better solution to the problem. what they only do is trying to undermine the chinese national unity, which will be the end of china. chinese should know better from their past, from time when warlords ruled/ruind their country. these whining idiotes who critisize the current goverment do not offer better option, they just dont want what they have in place. if you have a better option then promote it, get people behind it, anarchy isnt.

  • Good job, kill those rebellions.

  • chinese government... SIGH

    they show us only some unimportant stuff on news program, saying only good stuff about the government. in fact they have hidden too much from the citizens

    it just frustrating to see how incompetent the government is!

  • this is why chinese government denied facebook access in China.

    这就是为什么中国政府屏蔽了FACEBOOK。

  • Im chinese, i hate the goverment very much.

  • If this is so cruel and they're allowing it to be shown to the world, what things could they be doing that we don't even know of?!

  • you know the country is dead both inside and out when it's government is willing to open fire on it's own peole.

    China has fallen the moment communism stepped on the throne

  • 心寒呀。

  • O...M.....G。。。 PETER MANSBRIDGE HAD HAIR!!!! 0_00_0 Lolololol

  • @bbly096 this is a very serious, solemn event in history, please retain from joking

  • This should shut any red-neck anti-immigration hillbillies who complain about "dem Chinese coming to MY country!" Who'd want to live in a country where you'd get killed for vocalizing? 1st Amendment, although it doesn't mean much anyways, but it's something everyone would like

  • When I see this video, I see many violent rebels who need to be punished. The troops showed too much restraint. When you use molotov cocktails and burn everything in sight, you are no longer protesting for anything; you just need to be put down.

  • @isteri2007

    FOOL

  • I'm surprised China didn't just blame Facebook and the west. I hope next time they win.

  • more western bullshit propaganda!

  • @jewishwarrior666 give your head a shake!

  • It's not really propoganda, it's just news. They report on corrupt politicans even in Canada and American, and that's not called propoganda. They report on celebrities, that's not proganda either.

    I like the man at 5:30 He just yells "Take care of you, take care of yourself"

    That's not propoganda, that's a real Han Chinese being attacked by his own protectors.

  • courageous people

  • 断章取义

  • heart breaking....

  • so we go from this to getting our wal-marts filled with their goods. wtf! i remember that day when i was younger. it was something that a lot of people were wondering: is communism falling apart everywhere. we saw germany and the eastern european countries removing the communists and then china. we thought it was over. it had only begun

  • If Chinese people could show just a little mercy to the students who were killed, China will be better, but they do not concerned about it. They all forget. I am very angry about this.

  • @zhangchizczc

    We did not forget and we still mourn for theses students every year..

    I do not represent all Chinese but at least, in Hong Kong, we are still fighting for these students and their families....

  • @gpiglet

    that's because you are in HK, people in main land of China know nothing about this event until today! if i didn't go abroad to study , i didn't know it as well,no one has mentioned this to me! the government uses lots of methods to avoid this news from spearding out. they shield most foreign websites in China,like YouTube & Facebook..

  • @xuelai918 while I went abroad, to the city of los angeles, I knew that American govnment tortured and killed millions of mexicans in southern california. Got it?

  • No regime who persecutes people survives for long.Inevitably its growth rate will decline(analysts predict other countries like India will have a higher growth rate after 3-5 years),discontent will rise and people will attain true freedom.Its only a matter of time.

    You can make a throne out of bayonets but you cant sit on it for long.

  • I agree with you , but not all. It's not a matter of time, because of chinese people. They are afraid to be freedom. They are afraid to know the truth. They know if they aknowlege the throne, they won't be persecutes. And Chinese government also knows a lot of their people .(I'm sorry I'm not good at English)

  • Well if history is to be believed then dictatorship will be thrown out sooner or later.If one man had the courage to stand against tanks then it is safe to assume 1 billion people will one day find the courage to attain freedom.

    BTW are you really from China?I thought they have Youtube banned in China?

    Also if you are indeed from China then I will advice you to watch your back.Chinese govt. is still the world No.1 in killing its own civilians (they call it Purging).

  • That's true, but the most horrible thing is, some people know it, but they think those people who were killed deserve it. They convince themthelves that these killing must be taken because what China most need is stable and developing. I want to listen to your idea, Stalking. Youtube is blocked in China, but I find a way to view it.

  • It isn't 1989.The world has transformed into a more open and progressive society.They can't possibly hope to get away with another massacre.Gandhi was harshly persecuted by British when he initiated peaceful protests but every persecution gave him more and more support of masses.Ultimately he succeeded in his goal of attaining freedom and now his birthday is celebrated as International Day of Non-Violence.

  • Chinese government is not like British government, and Chinese people is not like Indians. I don't know how to explain to you. If you let Chinese people themselves to fight against the government, probably it will produce another empire. If we want to build a freedom China, we need other country's help.

  • Stalking , I want to know your standards of persecuting, and I will tell you someting more about Chinese people by my obersavation, why China has been ruled for thousands of years.

  • Though I have my own views but I admit since I am not in China my ideas/views may be inaccurate.

    I would like to hear your observation.

  • Stalking, I know your view is right, but it seems too romantic to China. Do you know how people treat the massacre in 1989? Most of them choose to forget it. If you come to China, and if you don't try to see the back, you would find that the CHinese society seems to be "harmony". CHinese government lie to people , and Chinese people are very happy to be lied.

  • Perhaps you could not believe, but in China, most people still supports Communist Party,even it is not elected by people. China seems to be flourish in these years, but this kind of flourish is unhealthy. China's flourish and harmony are based on the persecuting of people who against the government. They think China needs the CCP. CHina has been ruled for thousands of years, that gives Chinese the best skill to adapting the society.

  • Once I thought, if let Chinese people know the truth, China would be freedom one day. However, as I talked to more and more people about the massacre, the dark side of China, I become more and more frustrate. They don't want freedom, they are inconfidence to be freedom. They choose to be lied, that's the harmony of China. It's hard to explain, I cannot say very clear with a few words.

  • It is very strange but if it indeed is true why wouldn't they want freedom?

    Are they afraid that their economy's growth will be hampered?

    Has state controlled media brainwashed them into believing that this is best for them?

  • Or are they afraid of government action.I heard that even if they don't take severe action against you they will 'Mark' you and you won't be able to get promotions or a better job.

    If what you said is true than there is very little other countries can do about it.

  • Also,I believe People are People i.e. No matter whether they are Chinese,Indian,American e.t.c. we all have same desires.We all want basic human rights.

    The only difference is external factors.

  • As my point of view, this is because of the culture. We've been ruled for 5000 thousand years, it has a great impact on Chinese culture, and that makes Chinese people so different. Chinese people know that they cannot against them, that makes Chinese people so absent of what happens in China. The best way to avoid frightening is taking the action of the government for granted. If they don't find the trouble, the trouble wil not come to find them.

  • What the Chinese people dreams about is a stable society, then they could live their own life. The government also understand the people. Communist party are too much clever than Saddam. They give people some benifition while they take the most benifition of the economy growth. They pretend to be concerned of the people. They pretend to do the right things about the country.

  • And most Chinese people do not concerned about what the government say is true or fake. Because the trouble did not come to them. That's why they blame the people who try to find the truth. They make "trouble" for the country.

  • I am still trying to figure out this problem. Of course, the government washed their brain. In China, we always hear the bad news about democracy country. But I think that's can't explain all the things. A very popular attitude among Chinese people is : China is still a developing country, many Chinese people are lack of education, if we build a democratic regime, the country would be in mess. See, they know communist party is autocrat. The reason is complex.

  • 中国人的稳定是跪着求来的,这个国家想要强大,他的人民必须要把­权利握在手中,不然,我们只能继续做清官梦了。

  • 我只是想对那些赞扬政府行为的人说:不要自封统治阶级。中国的稳­定不应该是站在反对者的尸体上的。因为我们没有权利决定别人的命­运。一个国家想要进步,必须要不断的改正自己的错误,而不是认为­历史过去了就过去了。我也曾经动摇过,可是我的经验和逻辑告诉我­:如果共产党没做什么见不得人的事,为什么他们要对那段历史遮遮­掩掩呢?

  • @zhangchizczc 同意您的观点!我是90年以后出生的,这段历史如果我们不知道,­以后我们的孩子也不会知道。如果政府正大光明,那就应该让后人评­论,而不是遮遮掩掩

  • OhnoCute , 谢谢!

  • 奴隶制(共产主义),奴隶主(共产党)拥有奴隶(人民)的制度。­ 奴隶(人民)须为奴隶主(共产党)干活,无报酬,且无人身自由。 法律确认奴隶为奴隶主的私有财产,共产主义跟奴隶制也一样,国家 所有财产归共产党、人民跟本不可能享受自己生产所得的回报、奴隶 主(共产党)对奴隶(人民)握有生杀予夺的权力,可随意奴役、杀 害。

  • @vvmmg11 无知、无耻,你知道什么,你了解什么?

  • The chinese government fear of sharing the sane fate of East Germany and USSR, shortly after this tragedy Deng Xiao Ping said: "This was just a matter of time, these rioters or troublemakers were planning to overthrow communism or socialism to build a western democratic government." This indeed happens to Romania and USSR.

  • well why didnt the government listen to the students?

    what did they want?

    and why wouldnt the government give in to them?

    this should be used as a debate

    but it always disintegrates into name calling

    not that im a saint/hypocrite

  • @doc998 not that im a saint/not a hypocrite

  • without anti riot equipment this is what you have to do. Chinese didn't want to become the second Iran, mobs bad to be dispersed. And those ppl getting shot are not really students. Students were all in the square, eventually gave up when getting surrounded by armed troops.

    Chinese government is not the only one to blame. There were some of those really screwed up student leaders, they are the real cause.

  • @yunliuBCIT why isnt it everyones fault?

  • uhh, that was my point exact. it was everyone's fault. Chinese Governement share the most blames or half of blames, depending on which side you are on. But students, workers, soldiers and everyone else needed to be blamed.

  • Been in china 10 years, it was wrong what the govt did, but I can understand ( with pain in my heart) why it had to be stopped for the good of the whole development of china and its prosperity, hopefully Karma doesnt haunt them in the near future for this......for the worst.

  • @fy198498 man fuck you and this anti us shit, hate the government not the people

  • 春哥秒杀坦克手  艹泥马爆菊花

  • "來生不作中國人"

    "DON'T BE A CHINESE AGAIN IN THE NEXT LIFE"

    It is true, significant number of CHINESE / HONG KONG (to a lesser degree) people do thinks like 240kankan.

    It is hard to fight for freedom with lots of ghouls dragging your legs.

  • @gobiohk 语法有错,自己检查

  • 囧

  • @240kankan HEY DUMBASS the american government doent control the media you are a fucking retard and should be run over by a fucking tank

  • obviously ,it is exaggerated。people who cannot speak chinese don't ocomment on it.people have never been to china don't talk about it.

  • @240kankan ... you need to shut up, stinky asshole

  • FREE EAST TURKISTAN!!!

  • i know only one thing that it is not until today that i have realized the whole event from viedo document

    Chinese should not forget the history never and ever

  • soviet hell yeah

    America would never broadcast anything bad about China today, without China they'd be bankrupt.

    that's Politics for you

  • Chinese in 1989 has been very brave. I totally respect for what they did and feel bad for what the army did to them.

  • @lyellliao like to see ur brother sister get shot dumpass

  • Mob? what a joke

  • You awful piece of history revisioning ignorant brainwashed skum......

  • @utubefcuked I strongly agree with you.

  • @utubefcuked thats becuase the chinese government sensored every media portal, they even sensor it still today, they dont want the people remebering tinamen.

  • Infact I am in china now and the only way I am watching this on Youtube is because I had to download software to bypass the government blocks.

  • @UniversalTruths spread the information, spread the software, spread freedom of information!

    - Chinese Canadian

  • would Canada allow chaos and destructions like this and do nothing?

  • did he say "cao ni ma?"

  • An officer told the media that "there's no one killed in that incident", that sucks...

    I was very young at that time, but everytime I think about those students did strike for their future and freedom, it is what Chinese nation ought to be...

  • oh God...I'm very shocking.

  • It is not the only government that did this. American government did the same thing (severer than this in 1930 towards those retired soldiers and towards those antiwar students in 1970s).

    No government is able to allow any group to occupy their government square all the time.

  • Capitalism is a shit

    Comunist is worst

    The world has gone to hell...

  • The bravest people to live.

  • Oh my god. 2:32

  • I was born in 1990. I don't know anything about this until I came to America. 我是中国人,可我在自己的祖国却什么都不知道,我不会忘记这些历­史!Fuck Chinese Government!

  • 到底是谁丢人,像你这种五毛还算得上是人么?但凡有良心的都能看­出来不论什么理由杀人就是不对,况且如果你有理,为什么不在中国­承认这段历史,既然你不敢承认就证明你不敢面对,你就是有错!我­身为一个中国人都为你感到难过!!!

  • @fucktwdog 像你这种人就是恶心,一昧的叫好,祖国江河无限好之类的,那缺点­你是不是没看到,是不是还认为自己没有缺点狂妄自大?哪个国家都­有自己的问题所在,这就是中国的问题,美国也有很多问题,再说个­人各抒己见,像你这种没有教育的无耻之徒活在这世上也只是在浪费­粮食而已。

  • 你悲不悲哀?!你怎么不想想为什么我们报道的新闻跟全世界的都不­一样?为什么全世界都是我们的敌人?

  • @sheemshimo

    我泱泱天朝何惧与全世界为敌?

    你混的好老肯定有人看不顺眼,这是人的本性。

    国家不断进步,可总有些人说三道四拖后腿,这也是不可避免

  • ive just finished reading the book Forbidden City. thats why i saw this video. Forbidden City is a great book, its historical fiction but explains a lot of what happened at tienanmen square

  • This is the BEAUTIFUL WORLD we live in.... People amongst us forgetting they are humans too, there is no humanity... its just a fucking concept to make us seem superior than animals... In fact we are worse .. much much worse

    And please please justify this... there are ppl I know dying to justify this... so go ahead.

  • same how in the ddr 1953 )-;

  • The Chinese Government is a laughing stock around the world - an absolute joke! Everyone in China will know the truth about Tiananmen Square one day.

  • too painful. i cry a lot

  • Tiananmen Tiananmen, kill another yellow man.

  • @joaopac ppl like u should never be born. even saying things like this shows how darn empty your head is.. I wonder how you would fight if your freedom would be taken away, peace by peace. Ah, you wouln't. You would aaskiss the tyrantsz till they kill you.

  • @pederastija I was only singing the lyrics of a portuguese band called kalashnikov. the song is called tiananmen.. it's a great sound.

  • Damn. Do not what happened to me but at 5:21 I almost cried. That scene and the voice in the background :=S .

    So sad.

    What can I Do? Don't know but I must do something.

  • 我只想更多的了解那段历史可是我真的没有机会,这些视频永远也不­会再我的祖国找到。

  • there's a ghost called capitalism lurking among us. catch it. world peace comes. but can you? no? then you should read more and break away from mainsteam propaganda media. check out Noam Chomsky for a start.

    take care my friends

  • chinese communist party is full of shit

  • Fascist atrocities. Still do not dare to telling the truth. Brainwash the people of

    The Communist Party recruited a large number of Internet commentators. For its beautification and justify. Distort the truth of the incident

  • you should be grateful China was firm in tackling the issue. check out 'economic hitmen' and jackals' and 'black ops'. ask questions. launch your investigations. check sources. watch out for propagandas from greedy external forces. China would've plunged into a chaos and all sides will be taking advantage of her. stand together. stand tall. decendants of the dragon!

  • Stamp out Communism everywhere.

  • 1989, Hu Jintao responsable de la répressions des émeutes à Lhassa

    1989, Le gouvernement chinois fauche la jeunesse chinoise place Tiananmen

    1989, Le Dalaï Lama reçoit le Prix Nobel de la Paix

  • Tibetans rose up against the evil communist party on mass in Lhasa in 1959. It took them far less time to realise how EVIL the communist party of China is.

    FREE the World of one party regimes.

  • this kinda reminds me of "Les Miserables" (Play, Movie).

    Still killing your own people to gain control is not the way to go. I don't care what the excuse just don't do it.

  • why all of a sudden, all in 1989, east europe, china, soviet union..., all turn into turmoil? some hands behind it

  • this historically revisionist type of comment shows either extreme ignorance or possibly the WU MAO gotten from the chinese government to make stupid statements in places like this

  • DON'T BOTHER REPLY MY COMMENTS

  • cia

  • Free Tibet!!!

  • idiots. all of you.

    what they are doing is wrong, marally. yes.

    However.. if one wants to remain in power.. opposition must be crushed. Thats why stalin destroyed EVERYTHING and ANYTHING in his way. You think China will stay strong with its people running around recklessly...

    Politically speaking - theyre doing the correct thing.

    But of course... its wrong.

  • In June 1989, the people in order to fight for democracy, equality and freedom. Against the dictatorship, despotism and corruption. Government uses machine guns and tanks bloody massacre took place bloodshed that shocked the world. Many students and large numbers of innocent civilians were massacred. The Government falsely claims that did not cause any casualties and missing people and students. Until now. The Government has also distorted the truth of the incident. Conceal the truth

  • comunists cocksukers,assasins

  • fuck the china government only please .

    don't fuck other chinese . i am one of them .

  • yea FUCk the china government only!!!!

  • Man, okay

    I'm young, but fuck,

    Not to be offencive

    But assholes

    I mean

    The people we're just protesting

    There was really no need for the senseless killing..

  • nazi = German, dont forget it!

  • i don`t like more russian and their communizm ;)

    Stalin killed 100 million people and how Hitler (and nazi) killed? i think stalin killed more more more people ;)

  • Polish=morons

  • nazi and commies are worth the same! Fuck them!!!

  • commies worst then nazism

  • tell it to my grandfather killed by nazis

  • I love humans.

    And I hope you do too. We should all try to stop things like this from ever happening, which murder people who try to be human.

  • So you must be glad this happened.

  • Don't hate human, idiot! Cause you're one fucking human among them. Should only hate the cruelty and inhuman people in this dirty world, especially the bloody communists. Understood?

  • why especially the communists? it's just another way to run politics

  • I feel very pity on you, iskim86 because of your "foolish" question! The question proves that you have no knowledge at all about what has happened to the world you are living!!!

    The fucking communism had killed 100 millions human being all around the world since it was born in 1917, and still be a disaster for the last 4 countries of the world nowaday...

  • pretty sure that's what the american public school system is teaching kids too.

  • this is not a political question this is disorder for the order of the country, is like a 11september is not a political problem, is much moore.

    I don't hate but i don't linke too much of the human being, in every age is not egual for the problem of the world...this is the human of chaos for the order. Of the future ?... i don't have to much hope...

  • 當初不可一世,現在就知道開真槍實彈

  • Don`t gimme Abu Grahib n sh%$. You wanna see torture you stoopid

    muthaf%$ers ? How bout Auzshwitz?

    Siberian Gulags ? Thats fu%$in torture you morons!!! Not splashing water on some towelheads face.

  • They are both torture. And they can both be unacceptable. Your comments are childish and uninformed.

  • How ignorant! Have you never learned about American involvement in Bolivia, Equador, Chile, Haiti, VIETNAM, Venezuela, etc. Yuo have destroyed as many cultures as your claim to have saved.

    As far as winning the cold war, America got pissy that another country wanted launch capabilities that could strike the US, just like the states has all over the world. How silly for a country to want an equal opportunity to use Nuclear arms as a deterrent.

  • And how ignorant can you be, freemarket? All that, what you just said, wasn't as bad as what has happened during WWI and WWII, Teineman Square, and The Holocaust. It seems like you leave all that out and focus on what America did. We have never gone as far as to kill millions of people. So take out your history book and actually LEARN about history.

    P.S. don't go straight to the Vietnam War.

  • 1) I didnt start at the vietnam war.

    2) The native americans of north america would disagree that you haven't "gone as far as to kill millions of people."

    3) Arguing that your human rights abuses aren't as bad as something else is a non-sequitar. We're saying they are both not acceptable. There isn't only one bad country o, so stop being defensive and let your blind patriotism to a flag go. Its not unamerican to ask your govt to not invade others to generate profit and control resources.

  • Yeah, but everyone is bagging on America that's the point I'm trying to get out. Like people are saying oh America are assholes they fucking start everything and shit like that. This is a video about Teineman Square so how the fuck did you guys go from China to the US? How come on every single political Youtube video someone always has to mention America? Even if they Youtube video has nothing to do with America. Why us? When all we did was try to help Europe.

  • b/c there has been a lot of political posturing, and invariably the US only gets involved in conflicts which will secure them either resource control or some geopolitical advantage. So while it is claimed that everything is humanitarian, most often it isn't the case. And no one admits it of course, so it pisses the rest of the world off, b/c they know they could be next and have almost no plausible way of fighting back, except with the truth, and hope the american ppl can see it too.

  • Yes, I know that, I am not saying that America is the best, I mean I like every country and would never say anything bad about them. I admit that America's economy sucks and we do need help just like we helped Britain and other countries with financial issues. I think all American people see what America is doing, but that doesn't mean they can't defend their country which they were born and raised in. I just want people to leave America alone and worry about their own country.

  • Yes we could all worry about our own countries if we lived in communal protectionist economies, but the world isn't like that. America is involved in the politics on every continent, and with a not-so-flattering track record. I'm sure the countries who have been negatively impacted would be happy if the states removed their military bases, and recanted the IMF loans that forced the privatization of the public utilities. (Which basically forced submission if you want access to lifes necessities.)

  • This whole 'We saved Europe's arses' (or 'asses' if you like), is a very uninformed and I have to say it common American belief. I have seen it somehow crop up all over you tube videos ...... anyway, as any 20th century historian will inform you there was a little more to it than that! Its a shame really as many of your fellow countrymen reading your comment will see how you have managed to fulfill almost every negative stereotype that is associated with modern day America.

  • Ding Ding Ding....We Have a Winner!!!!

  • Wow, you know that germany and italy were taking over europe in the 1930s and 40s. Germany made france surrender and they bombed the UK. So basically it would've just been the UK and the soviet union if Japan hadn't bombed pearl harbor, all europe would've became Germany, because they had Germany, Italy and Japan on the axis powers. It isn't a "American belief" it is the truth. We basically saved all of europe, because I doubt that Britain and USSR can handle the axis powers on their own.

  • Comment removed

  • Yep.  Gun control worked in China.

  • Or Soviet Russia, Cambodia and Nazi Germany.

  • Great video! Do not know when the beijing government will be vanished, but will be soon. the people killed by army will be remembered.

  • What did u say? ur whole country is gonna be vanished by the economy crisis ok? save ur own life first!

  • how is US foreign policy the epitome of evil...? we saved Europe from the fall of communism and Hitler, we saved Europe during WWI, we saved the Philippines and Cuba from the Spanish... wheres the evil?

  • I was just a kid when this tragedy happened. I understood more with my age. Each 4th of June I commemorate those people.

  • this is so sad!

    what has the government thougt by doing this? killing their own citizens ?

    fuck communism!

    all protestors should be honored!
