A final repost: Remembering June 4th and Tiananmen Square
Twenty years ago, tens of thousands of students were camped out on Tiananmen Square in the heart of Beijing, in the final days of a democracy protest that would end with tanks and armored personnel carriers rolling onto the scene.
At my Facebook site, I’ve posted 50 or so photos that I took during the protests. The colors are slightly faded, and the negatives were dusty, but they’re worth looking at. Most have never been published.
You’ll see nothing from the violent night of June 4th. My wife brought these rolls of film out a few days before the crackdown.

Almost makes you regret giving them favored-trading partner status and selling them most of our debt, doesn’t it?
Well, we couldn’t let a little thing like human rights atrocities get in the way of business.

Agreed Cleft…business is business and personal is personal.

In an effort to more fully explain the American culture, US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner met with the Chinese this week. He explained that “freedom” is best demonstrated by the taking of “donations”…and they needed to keep PAYING UP!
