Yes it was the 25th anniversary of the Tienamien Square Massacre (sp?) Didn’t hear much about it in the MSM.
I remember the weeks of protests, with the square full of protesters. I remember they rallied around a statue named “The Goddess of Democracy”, which resembled the Statue of Liberty.
But communists and totalitarians, doing what they do best, used the military to crush their own people.
An irony is that since then, China has instituted many free market reforms, and opened up to the world much more than it had been open up until then. So some goals the protesters hoped to achieve have been realized.
But political freedom is still not a reality in today’s China.
