China on us over tiananmen square: What happened on June 4, 1989 at Tianmen Square, Beijing, became a symbol of democracy and repression conflict for the whole world but also for the whole world. Thousands of students and common citizens were protesting against political freedom, freedom of press and corruption. These peaceful demonstrations ended with tanks and bullets. The performance at Tianmen Square lasted from 15 April to 4 June 1989. In the action taken by PLA (People’s Liberation Army), more than hundreds to thousands of people died. However, till date the Chinese government has not made public the correct information related to death statistics. Discussion, education or media coverage is completely banned in China since the incident.

On the 36th anniversary of Tianmen Square, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the world will never forget what happened on June 4. His statement was an attempt to honor such a legacy, which China has been trying to hide for years. He directly accused China of censoring the facts. Rubio recalled the students who were martyred in Tianmen Square, but also mentioned the workers who are struggling for the freedom of human rights and expression even today.

China’s sharp reaction
China described Rubio’s remarks as serious intervention in China’s internal affairs. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lynn Gian said that this statement is a conspiracy to deliberately distort historical facts. China registers strong protest against this. The Chinese government’s policy on this issue is clear that forgetting Tianmen is the only option. Let us know that the issue related to Tianmen has been erased from Chinese internet, education system and media.

Taiwan’s vocal role
Taiwan President Lai Ching-Te wrote in a Facebook post in memory of Tianmen that we remember the sacrifice of our ancestors. Democratic society protects the truth, while the totalitarian governments want to eradicate history. This statement clearly exposed the gap between the communist ideology of China and the democratic value of Taiwan. On the other hand, China considers Taiwan as its part and threatens to mix it by force. For this, he has also directly threatened Taiwan.

Hong Kong’s silence and Chow Hang-Tung’s hunger strike
Hong Kong, which was once the only Chinese region of Tianmen remembrance, now the National Security Act has come into force there too. Former lawyer and activist Chow Hang-Tung has been imprisoned for organizing public performances. This year, he has kept the memory of democracy alive by taking a 36 -hour hunger strike in jail.

Taiwan on chinese spy: According to Taiwan’s official data, the count of people who spied for China in Taiwan has increased in recent years. Meanwhile, a district court of Taipei sentenced 4 Taiwan soldiers on Wednesday (26 March) for spying for China.

The court said, “Out of the four Taiwanese soldiers found guilty of spying for China, 3 were soldiers of the unit watching the security of Taiwan’s President’s office and another soldier was posted in the Information and Telecommunication Command of Taiwan’s Defense Ministry, who has been sentenced to jail on charges of leaking and photographing the country’s confidential information.”

According to official data, China targets Taiwan’s serving and retired people to attempt to infiltrate Taiwan.

Announced to restore military judges for disposal of espionage cases

It is noteworthy that the court of Taiwan has taken this step after the announcement of reinstatement of military judges on behalf of Taiwanese President Lai Ching-Tea this month. The President had announced a recast scheme of military judges to hear the cases of Chinese espionage and Taiwanese military personnel.

Taipei’s District Court made a statement

Taipei’s District Court said in a statement on Wednesday (March 26), “Four Taiwanese soldiers have been sentenced to break the country’s national security law. Their work has cheated the country and also endangered the security of the nation.”

The court further said in the statement, “The four Taiwanese soldiers should have kept the internal information of the army secret, which they have taken to China’s intelligence agents for the last few months. For this they have been sentenced to jail from 5 years to 10 months to 10 years.” The court said, “The soldiers have taken this crime between 2022 and 2024. For which they were paid from about 260,000 New Taiwanese dollars to 660,000 New Taiwanese dollars.” However, the court did not say what kind of information was leaked by the four soldiers to China.
