shaping tomorrow now exploring opportunities for media professionals in times of crisis. the global media for june 2020 to your ticket. now we've got some hot tips for your bucket list with romantic corner chat. hot spot for food, chair and some great cultural memorials to boot d w, travel off we go with this is did up there. near was a shock coming up to day 33 years since the tenement square massacre on police have been any events mocking its anniversary. we ask a former student leader who survived masika. if it's very memory is under attack by

holocaust. their memories on never erase. not just because of people like me, like you keep talking about it, not just one day per year. oh tang, i'm a massacre which i survived. i live in that massacre. ah. i british manager, welcome to did up the news asia. glad you could join us on call. police say any commemoration in the city of the tenement square massacre will be unlawful. anyone judged is coming to protest in the fame, victoria park, or other locations, risks breaking the law. that's the wanting. saturday marks the 33rd anniversary of beijing's armed crackdown on pro democracy protest, as in the heart of the city in 1089,

many died. many more were injured. hong kong was for decades, the only place in china where people would remember the victims of the tragedy, candlelight vigils in hong kong, victoria park, while the norm, but following the passage of beijing's national security law in 2020, the vigils have been banned. still, over the past 2 years, people have found a way to protest whether that will happen on saturday remains to be seen. alright, let's get a modem. this from the double responded phoebe kong who is joining us now from hong kong. phoebe, despite the restrictions, do people plan to protest in some way as well as the past the home phone guzman fan to commemorate the citing pandemic restrictions that even so we, we witnessed that some people still tried to turn out and define to police span of what that can, those are their cell phones, the lights on 2 more and that comes off the 10 meg now. but they see,

i think the situation will be lost a friend from last year or before that like like mainly because of the huge shilling effects that we are experiencing now in the city that i don't think we are expecting a significant scale of protests or action on the streets around victoria park. and that's also because the police explicitly warned people that they would rates are breaking the law by maybe even going to they pictorial pock on the phone with us with seamless purpose. i'm so this is a kind of like warning and try to deter people from showing up at a tory, a pop. all i have any kind of like action to commemorate the tenant correct. now. besides this recent warning, all the signs in the lead up for to this have been very ominous 7 there.

yet if we still remember the alliance, which was the organizing group off the traditional kinda like the past few decades throughout 9090 to 2019. and that's kind of like a visual, even though a band over the past 2 years that the organizing groups, they insist that on applying for such assemblies over to yes. but this idea is actually mocking the 1st anniversary. i thought that there is no one actually applying for such a assembly at victoria park. so this is a pretty like a history off the commemorating and track down in hong kong. and that kind of like show the effect and the fear that affects people and not only for ordinary people, but also for our churches and universities that those places are in the past,

relatively safe people to more into victims. but this, the catholic church has decided not to po and it kind of commend ray to mos sightings, safety concerns even. but those christian churches going ahead. people told me that they're under tremendous pressure that they can only organize close or right. really leave it there for the time being, but thank you so much for bringing us this up to delivery corresponding. phoebe call and reports on thanks for the 1989 protests on the very expensive gentlemen square and beijing brought china to a tipping point for testers. led mostly by students wanted reform and democracy, the communist party didn't. what followed was an army lead crackdown where tanks and soldiers were used against defense for students. that was the intervening night between the 3rd and 4th of june. this is howard unfolded. ah, after weeks of protest,

the people's liberation army came at nice thousands of soldiers. they use live rounds and tear gas to disperse the huge gathering and central beijing. protesters seeking a different china. there were running battles overnight and in the early hours of june, 4th tanks and armored personnel carriers began their attack on tenement square. the soldiers beat people shot people, grand people over with tanks. by dawn, the vast concourse was clear. the official death toll was 241, but other estimates believe at least 10000 people were killed by their own military . the communist party has resisted any calls for an investigation into how many perished. it was a brutal conclusion to a dream of democracy that began on tenements square in april with students some bicycles, calling for reform by june, around a 1000000 people from all walks of life had made the way to the heart of the

capital. the gathering inspired supporting demonstrations around the country. they were calling for an end to soaring inflation, greater transparency and less corruption. they wanted the chance to elect their own government for the communist party was a challenge to its very existence. they labeled a student's treacherous bandits and imposed martial law. the world watched the students unveiled a 10 meter high goddess of democracy, mottled on the statue of liberty in front of the forbidden city. blue days before the massacre party chief josie young visited the students, accompanied by future premier wen jiabao. chow, pleased with the student protesters to leave, but was ignored. he was purged, and he lived out his days under house arrest. the day after the massacre, a man stood his ground before a column of advancing tanks on chang on boulevard, which runs directly into tenement square tank man solitary act became the defining

image of the protests. and one that has blighted the communist party's reputation. to this day, every year at this time, the party detains human rights activists and sensors, discussions of the crackdown algorithm, scrub bonnie online references to the massacre on china's parallel internet overseas. the focused turns to china's repression in tibet. she's young and hong kong. more than 3 decades later, the events on tenement square in 1989 still resonates and joining me now as someone who was that at gentleman square of the night of this tragedy rose tang, she was a student leader during the protests and barely escaped with her life during the armies crackdown she is now based in new york and is an artist, journalist, and activist miss dying. it's a pleasure to have you on nodded under news asia. thank you so much for your time. how does it make you feel every year when the anniversary of this massacre comes

around? it makes me feel very heavy and heavier than usual, especially when the into the 3rd year of the pandemic. ah, it looks like the dictatorships had been up put proliferating on getting worse and humanity and planet earth had been love in the worst situation. you had gone down a south. i sometimes despair and i'm also hopeful. now this anniversary is never marked on the chinese mainland. and now increasingly not in hong kong either. is it only a matter of time. you think that it's memory is wiped clean from china's consciousness? it's not a matter of time. think about the holocaust. their memories are never erased.

not just because of people like me, like you keep talking about it, not just one day per year. oh tang, i'm a massacre which i survived. i live in that massacre. the massacre leaves inside me every day, any time. and the chinese government has been hunted for the last 33 years ever since. and they're so scared. that's why the band people in china and even hong kong from commemorating it, jailing lots of people, especially the people in your hong kong, people who organized the annual candlelight vigil in victoria park. the major leaders are in jail. i wonder how you look for china now. i mean, is it truly a people's republic of china when the government is clamping down on its own people

by imprisoning them and detention terms such as ensuring john or cracking down on people's voices for democracy in hong kong? china has these china since 1949 has never been people with republic of china. it's the country, the regime for the very small number of the chinese communist party. the rich and the powerful has always been like that ever since the chinese communist party was established in 1921. they even crept down on the descent inside the party internally. as since the baron beginning has never been the peoples country and not to mention the wiggers and the tibetans and the mongols who have had their home land and their country is picking the way occupied, invaded and colonized ever since. this is about colonization

genocide for decades, which has been unfortunate to be approved by most powerful countries of the world. you must agree that china is a very different place from 1989. i mean, it's the 2nd largest economy in the world. it's got a global voice and influence and is challenging the united states. as a new superpower, surely discounts for something that is something that would make many chinese proud wouldn't hurt. why should they be proud of the worst human traits in the world? why should you be a proud of a murderous regime that has committed to not just one genocide, but a series of genocide against not just you know, against not, not, not just against the winter. it's 2 bedrooms. mom goes on the home, colors and also against the chinese. no say this is

a self destructive regime, not just self. destructing. china, the china occupy countries. but the world, nothing to be proud of. this is a very dangerous trend. right? we'll leave it for the time being, but thank you so much for joining us today. we're all staying journalist, activist and office. thank you so much bye. and that does it for this week. this is more from the region on our website, d, w dot com. forward slash is sure. we're back again here at the same time. on monday we'll see event or back to the point. strong opinions, clear positions, international perspective. russian troops are stepping up there offensive and ukraine's industrial hard land as the conflict because the war,
