it's the 30-year anniversary of the tienanmen square massacre.pping into china for their human rights abuses. the chinese government has ramped up suppression and censorship of its population since 1989 when the people's liberation army killed thousands in what some say was a bloodbath. china may seem like a sophisticated super power. but back then when democracy was sweeping through the soviet union and eastern europe. china hooked people out of their jobs on to the streets and slaughtered people by the score. >> 30 years ago as a senior in college, i remember the images of a paiper-mache statue of liberty. those 31 brave students who stood in front of the soldiers and the one mysterious man who stood in front of a tank it's a country that to this day has not improved its human rights and in some cases got worse. liz: a gentleman in china put up that image of what else now taboo and he was thrown in prison for 3 1/2 years. do you think the world needs to talk more about the human rights abuses in china. >> i have think absolutely they do. the co

and the chinese people, afraid of another tienanmen square. you know, those revolutions killed a lot of chinese people. and that's why the chinese community really don't like the communist party. after we come here, we started learning the culture, learning the language, and you know, here is our home. we are part of society right now. and the main reason here we come to pursue our dreams, but after -- and also to get out of the c.c.p. but now, you are naming the chinese spy after chinatown stations. and we feel it's hard to tell how our feeling is. we come here for our dreams, and we cannot pursue our dream here. so i just want to ask all of the supervisors, when you support the resolution, before you vote for yes, do you think about, like, why so many people here to object this resolution. and have you seen the statue of a democracy in a chinatown? you know what that means? that means that 10,000 people, family, killed by the chinese com communism troops 30 years ago today. the last i want to say is the chinese communist party cannot represe

there are people that don't know about tienanmen square because the government squashes it. mike pompeo tweeting about tienanmen square on the 30th anniversary and the chinese were not happy at all saying it's disrespectful. this what happened. you can't just erase history. the idea that kids at universities where they should be educated in things like chinese history are choosing to ignore it as well, what does that tell us. >> you can't erase history but that's what many professors and faculties and liberals want to do. if they knew the real facts i don't think they would be giving these responses. but the reality is they are historically inept and ignorant as to what happened in our country. we respect the 75th anniversary of d-day. so we are seeing in china concentration camps where they are putting muslims in the camps because of their religion. but on top of that we have a country that censors the internet. we have a country that holds show trials where they are tortured to comply with the government, even if they are not builty. the human rights abuses in china are ho

tienanmen square. hundreds of thousands of students and workers in china took to the streets in a quest for freedom and dome democracy. and their own government killed them. the exact number we don't know. we may never know because china won't reveal that. but the estimates are between hundreds and several thousand. as far as china is concerned, this day never happened. and when our secretary of state mike pompeo addressed it in a tweet, the response was gift with the chinese ambassador said pompeo's statement interest feared in china's interm affairs, and attacked its system and foreign policy. because the u.s. wants the world to remember history, even if you don't. if a country like china wants to grow and grow up, shouldn't it be willing to admit its mistakes? shouldn't it apologize to the lost loves ones. how can we have a relationship with china if they won't at least acknowledge the path. at mid what happened. after biden speaking in new hampshire trying to say china is no big deal, he's wrong. i

as you know, 30 years ago, the chinese government opened fire on tienanmen square, and they killed thousands of people. and even after 30 years ago today, they are still denying their behavior. so we have to keep in mind, they lie to the world all the time. lying is their strategy. thank you. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker. >> i can easily imagine that many among the tens of millions of tourists visiting san francisco's historic chinatown over the coming years from nations all over the world could easily find themselves confused over rose pak station, particularly given that the name is stricken with similar and sound to that of the similar historic figure, rosa parks, for example. so there are places where the streets carry several names. google maps may state one thing, a physical map another, and street signage and signage on buildings another. i don't wish to see controversial figures on historical places. keep it simple, please. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i wasn't planning on speaking here today, but

tomorrow is the 30th anniversary of tienanmen square massacre.eace protesters schawt slaughtered by the d slaughtered by the hundreds, some say by the thousands. they were hoping to joint wave of democracy. now this, china's factory output, its economy is weakening. china and mexico showing a willingness to return to talks with the u.s. joining me is senator kevin cramer. the president is saying he has no choice. these two countries have abused the united states for to go long. he's exactly right on both points in both countries. and his instincts, his understanding of leverage. he always understood if you have a $400 billion trade deficit with somebody, they have more to lose than you have to loose. he has been exercising that leverage in the fact that china's economy is suffering so much as a result of the trade impasse we are at and the imposition of tariffs. it's exactly the point donald trump tried to make from the beginning. liz: what's your take on small businesses saying the consumers will pay the tax. >> every tax or tariff gets paid by

believe me, president exirks is more authoritarian than the people running china when we had tienanmen square. and i know for a fact based on way understand about president xi and his use of military force that they have been giving' orders to stand by. if they cannot get this under control, i think we'll potentially see the pla move into hong kong to gain control of this by any means necessary. president xi will not let this stand. this demonstration and protest. they intend to have their way. david: these are the people we are negotiating with. now we understand why president trump is so insistent he get guarantees for any deal he makes with the chinese. these are ruthless individuals. i want to switch to russia. accord towsmght s. intel russia is significantly building up its military in crimea over the last year. should this be on our radar? >> have much so. they have air defense batteries there and 81 strike aircraft and helos. they have 20 warships there with 10 of those are cruise missile ships, six subject a reasons and they moved in an airborne battalion for what they refer to as nav
