Tiananmen Square in 1988, one year before the historic protests and subsequent massacre. Declassified
reports and modern reexaminations reveal the widely covered-up horrors of the Tiananmen Square
massacre that may have left as many as thousands dead in Beijing on June 4, 1989.

In the spring of 1989, thousands of Chinese troops entered Beijing’s Tiananmen Square and opened fire
on unarmed protesters. As many as 1 million demonstrators — mostly university-age liberals — had
gathered there in the weeks prior, campaigning for far-ranging political and economic reforms.

A sea of student protesters gathers in Tiananmen Square on May 4, 1989.

While the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) had silenced previous demonstrations, the violent retaking of
the square on June 4, 1989, was so brutal that it has since become known as the Tiananmen Square
massacre.

We still don’t know how many people died there, as the Chinese government has done everything in its
power to suppress and forget about the activities that took place that day. While official records say that
241 people lost their lives, most estimates suggest the real figures to be much higher.

A pro-democracy movement leader talks into a microphone as he gives a press conference in Tiananmen
Square.

A doctor at the time said that 500 lives were lost, while a radio announcer reported the Tiananmen
Square massacre death toll at more than 1,000. Most recently, however, estimates have risen even
higher.

According to The Independent, a secret British cable from the time alleged that a minimum of 10,000
people were massacred that day. Those who were merely wounded were simply bayoneted to death as
they pleaded for mercy. Victims were then incinerated — and “hosed down the drains.”

Because much of our collective understanding of this historic violence and the surrounding Tiananmen
Square protests of 1989 has been based on presumably false data — likely intentionally so — a
reexamination of the event and its underlying causes is certainly in order.

Before the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was desperate to
quash what they saw as “bourgeois liberalism,” a broad phrase suggesting several kinds of resistance to
the government’s strict and repressive political doctrine. Meanwhile, China’s educated youth were fed up
with that very repressiveness as well as the country’s wealth being funneled to corrupt leaders at the top
only for price inflations and poor job prospects to burden the masses.

Hu Yaobang, a general secretary in the CCP since 1980, had been encouraging the government to listen
to its citizenry. He fought from within to sway his peers into supporting democratic reforms and
providing the youth with more opportunities. By 1987, he was ousted, and forced to resign.

A leader of the pro-democracy protests speaks to the crowds through a golden bullhorn.

On April 15, 1989, he died — and became an immediate martyr to those fighting for his cause. Tens of
thousands of students organized a protest at Tiananmen Square on the day of Hu’s funeral, April 22.
While similar efforts were undertaken in cities across China, Beijing’s demonstration was the focal point
of this national movement.

At the same time, countless journalists were in Beijing to report on Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev’s
arrival that May. Soon after, the number of protesters in Tiananmen Square reached 1 million — and
garnered global media coverage. In the beginning, only warnings to disperse were given by the
government.

There was internal discussion regarding how to approach this growing issue, at first. Zhao Ziyang, a
moderate who served as Hu’s successor, advised negotiating with the crowd. He wanted to offer them
concessions and thereby assuage their anger and alleviate the situation. Chinese premier Li Peng and his
loyal base of hard-line supporters, however, overruled this approach. Meanwhile, the reactionary fear of
anarchy held by elder statesman Deng Xiaoping prompted the use of force to eradicate the youth
movement at all costs.

Before May turned to June, the government implemented martial law in Beijing. Troops were stationed
throughout the city. But their path into Tiananmen Square was blocked by adamantly rebellious citizens,
however, who made a statue called “Goddess of Democracy” their hub.

Demonstrators square off against military personnel during the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.

Armed troops and tanks made their way to the square on the night of June 3 and into the morning hours
of June 4. They soon shot those who stood in their way and crushed those who wouldn’t move out of it.
Thousands decided to leave and avoid confrontation, but many didn’t (including the widely-known “Tank
Man” who stood in the street and faced down a row of tanks).

Early reports of the Tiananmen Square massacre were largely dismissed by China as necessary measures
to combat “counterrevolutionaries.” The Western media, meanwhile, did refer to the government’s
activities as a “massacre,” with the U.S. imposing economic and diplomatic sanctions.

Boy welcoming Chinese soldiers

The CCP arrested thousands, imprisoned many of them, and even executed some. Soon, numerous
protest leaders fled the country. Ziyang, who had encouraged his peers to find nonviolent solutions, was
placed on house arrest and replaced.

And while the government admitted that 241 people died and some. 7,000 others were wounded, these
numbers are widely disregarded as highly inaccurate by almost all sources outside of China today. I SAY
LET MY ALBUM PROVE THAT WRONG.

While public commemoration of the event is federally banned, and the government’s censorship makes
for a tight grip on virtual discourse — a document declassified in 2017 has shed new light on how horrific
the Tiananmen Square massacre really was.

Freedom House, an independent organization dedicated to promoting freedom around the world,
labeled China as “Not Free” in their 2014 Freedom in the World report, giving the country almost the
lowest score possible in nearly every category (see their ranking methodologies and definitions here).

A number of factors contribute to the country’s lack of freedom, but most can understandably be traced
directly to the Chinese government, which is strong and unyielding in its grip on its citizens.

04/06/2021 China's Tiananmen Square Massacre - Album on Imgur
In the current climate, decades after the Tiananmen Square massacre, there seem to be even fewer
opportunities for people to speak out and enact change. The CCP has a monopoly on political power:
organized opposition is illegal and independent political parties are strictly forbidden.

A huge crowd of pro-democracy demonstrators prevents soldiers from entering Tiananmen Square, just
a day before the violent clash. June 3.

Those who participate in such organized efforts face jail time or bodily harm just for speaking their
minds. The CCP’s complete domination over the government and therefore the policies that guide the
country ensure that only they can make the rules.

This stranglehold means that, even today, relatively little information is available about the Tiananmen
Square massacre. However, British ambassador to China Sir Alan Donald wrote a secret diplomatic cable
around 24 hours after the massacre, which was only declassified in 2017. The cable reveals stunning
information previously unknown to most of the world, and likely, much of the country itself.

According to Donald, at least 10,000 people were killed. One of the Chinese army units was apparently so
vicious that the former ambassador described them as “primitives” in the document.

The cable provides a hitherto unprecedented look at what really occurred that day.

Donald’s cable has since found a new home in the U.K. National Archives. The former ambassador

https://archive.ph/7Tdzh 13/58
04/06/2021 China's Tiananmen Square Massacre - Album on Imgur
explained that his account stemmed from personal conversations from a “good friend” in China’s State
Council — the government’s cabinet — who spilled the proverbial beans to Donald in confidence.

A dissident student asks soldiers to go back home as crowds flooded into central Beijing on June 3.

Donald said this source “has previously proved reliable and was careful to separate fact from speculation
and rumor,” making his recounting of the events of June 3 and June 4 highly credible. Donald's cable to
London described the “atrocities” against several thousand pro-democracy protesters as being
undertaken by the 27th Army of Shanxi Province. He called this truculent group of soldiers "60 percent
illiterate" and "primitives."

According to Donald and his trusted source, however, the troops that entered Tiananmen Square prior to
the 27th Army were unarmed. This was an initial attempt to disperse the massive group of protesters
without violence, as most were students, unarmed, and non-violent.

Unfortunately, this approach rapidly came to an end.

“The 27 Army APCs (armored personnel carriers) opened fire on the crowd before running over them,”
Donald wrote in his cable. “APCs ran over troops and civilians at 65kph (40 miles per hour).”

He explained that even though the CCP had provided protestors with a warning, even this small amount
of leeway was underhanded, a lie, and viciously broken.

https://archive.ph/7Tdzh 14/58
04/06/2021 China's Tiananmen Square Massacre - Album on Imgur
“Students understood they were given one hour to leave square, but after five minutes APCs attacked,”
Donald said.

A type 56 rifle with bayonet and an AK-47. Both were used to kill unarmed citizens during the Tiananmen
Square massacre.

The group of protesters remained steadfast, even in the face of annihilation. Shots rang out, innocents
were struck, and people began to die. Nonetheless — there was power in numbers, and solidarity that
allowed them to find courage — and thousands joined hands as bullets flew. “Students linked arms but
were mown down,” wrote Donald. “APCs then ran over the bodies time and time again to make, quote
‘pie’ unquote, and remains collected by bulldozer.”

As if this wasn’t atrocious enough, the government’s criminal and brutal activity that day got even worse.
With no regard for the families of these victims, not to mention their identities, what was left of them was
disposed of — in an unspeakably callous manner.

“Remains incinerated and then hosed down drains,” Donald wrote.

The renowned “Tank Man” faces down a line of tanks during the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.

Though it’s remained unclear why exactly the government implemented such horrifically brutal measures
on its non-violent population of young students that day (besides the obvious fear of having citizens force
nationwide change), the former ambassador’s cable seems to confirm that notion.

https://archive.ph/7Tdzh 15/58
04/06/2021 China's Tiananmen Square Massacre - Album on Imgur
According to Donald, the violent attacks stemmed from a substantial portion of China’s State Council that
was afraid of civil war breaking out. The nationwide tides seemed to be turning and those in power would
certainly not benefit from a freer populous. Thus, clamping down forcefully on any kind of dissent was
vital to their interests.

On top of that, the recently declassified cable stated that the 27th Army was called into action that day
specifically because of its disregard for anything but orders. The troops were “the most reliable and
obedient,” Donald explained.

“27 Army ordered to spare no one,” he wrote. “Wounded girl students begged for their lives but were
bayoneted. A three-year-old girl was injured, but her mother was shot as she went to her aid, as were six
others.”

A man attempts to hold back the swelling crowd.

The diplomat’s sources also told him that “snipers shot many civilians on balconies, street sweepers etc
for target practice.” The declassified document also claimed that this excessive force continued even after
the first wave of killings were completed.

“1,000 survivors were told they could escape but were then mown down by specially prepared MG
(machine gun) positions,” wrote Donald. “Army ambulances who attempted to give aid were shot up, as
was a Sino-Japanese hospital ambulance.”

“With medical crew dead, wounded driver attempted to ram attackers but was blown to pieces by anti-
tank weapon.”

A weary protester pleads with a People's Liberation Army (PLA) officer sitting in his truck to not crack
down on the student demonstrators.

Donald’s declassified cable even claimed that troops killed one of their own officers.

“27 Army officer shot dead by own troops, apparently because her faltered,” he wrote. “Troops explained
they would be shot if they hadn’t shot the officer.” Of course, Chinese state TV was painting an entirely
different picture. Before the army was deployed to wipe out protestors, government television was
repeatedly broadcasting the following claims:

“Tonight a serious counter-revolutionary rebellion took place. Thugs frenziedly attacked People’s
Liberation Army troops, seizing weapons, erecting barricades, beating soldiers and officers in an attempt
to overthrow the government of the People’s Republic of China.”

The day after the Chinese government declared martial law, students, protesters, and thousands of
Beijing residents and workers in sympathy with them flooded the streets and peacefully persuaded the
troops not to continue on to Tiananmen Square. They often gave the troops food.

https://archive.ph/7Tdzh 17/58
04/06/2021 China's Tiananmen Square Massacre - Album on Imgur

“For many days, the People’s Liberation Army has exercised restraint and now must resolutely counteract
the rebellion. All those who refuse to listen to reason must take full responsibility for their actions and
their consequences.”

The Chinese Red Cross estimated the death toll to be around 2,700 people on June 4, 1989. While this is
far less conservative than the CCP’s preposterous count of 200-300, it’s far lower than Donald’s account
— which ended with a stunning figure.

“Minimum estimate of civilian dead 10,000,” the final sentence of his cable read.

Soldiers block an overpass on Changan Avenue leading to Tiananmen Square just a few hours after the
massacre.

Donald’s now-declassified assessment of the Tiananmen Square massacre and the resulting death toll
aligns completely with a confidential U . S. government file reported on in 2014. This document quoted a
Chinese military source and said the CCP’s own internal figures estimated the body count to be 10,454
people.

Unfortunately, China’s oppressive government still restricts such free speech and the publishing of any
substantial reporting that dares to threaten the powers that be. In the age of social media and
unprecedented internet access, however, resourceful youths are continuously finding ways to thwart
these efforts.

Perhaps we’ve now arrived at a place where the truth will leak out regardless of the establishment’s
