"The world will never forget the Tiananmen Square massacre, the US secretary of
state and Taiwan president have said on the 36th anniversary of the crackdown,
which China’s government still tries to erase from domestic memory.

There is no official death toll but activists believe hundreds, possibly
thousands, were killed by China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) in the streets
around Tiananmen Square, Beijing’s central plaza, on 4 June 1989.

“Today we commemorate the bravery of the Chinese people who were killed as they
tried to exercise their fundamental freedoms, as well as those who continue to
suffer persecution as they seek accountability and justice for the events of
June 4, 1989,” said Marco Rubio, the US’s top diplomat, in a statement.

“The CCP [Chinese Communist party] actively tries to censor the facts, but the
world will never forget.”"
