Today is the 20th Anniversary of the Chinese crackdown on protesters in Tiananmen Square. It is still unclear what exactly happened that night or how many people lost their lives, but it marked the end of the Chinese democracy movement and shocked the world. More information from the BBC, including a timeline, can be found here. There is no reference to the anniversary at the China People's Daily Website.
We will look at other important anniversaries from 1989 in the months to come.
