Chinese Worker Detained for Photos of Liquor Labels Marking Tiananmen Crackdown

Interesting that Li Peng is held at fault by some for 6/4. All knowledgeable account put the blame at Deng Xiaoping the central power as Party Secretary at that time. He also is a hero to many for his reforms opening China to development and the resulting releasing from poverty of 30+ millions of Chinese. Easy to rewrite history as needed. Done everywhere.
An aside: no one was killed in Tiananmen Square that night as two student leaders negotiated a cease fire and release of those protesters. The massive killing was done as the PLA had to fight its way through citizen erected barriers as it approached T.S. A brave fearless unarmed populace – gasoline, bottles, cobblestones and the courage to stand in front of a line of tanks. This land has no purchased guns ….

I also see on the label where it says "aged for 27 years" or alternatively "hidden for 27 years." 1989 plus 27 equals 2016.

Maybe the beer lables should have had a allowed image of a black man being washed into a Chinaman.

We all know how petty the Chinese can be when it comes to not wanting their brethren to remember their own history, be it Tienanmen, Cultural Revolution, famine, Uyghur population, Tibet, etc..but the upper crust (power connected) are like people with new money that believe that now that they can afford a house on the block they dramatize any situation to "prove" that they are worthy and belong. But, they still have the rude and crass nature of someone who really doesn't belong and try too hard to fit it with grand displays of cheeziness while overplaying their hand.

On Memorial Day, let us drink a toast to that anonymous brave man who stood his ground and everyone else who gave their lives in the universal fight for freedom.

And then let us spit before we mention the cowards and traitors who sold them out. Everyone from our putative leaders (Bush and Clinton) to the corporate oligarchs behind the scenes whose greed overwhelmed any vestige of patriotism. Twenty years of 'engagement' has not made China any more democratic, but it is now richer and more powerful. It is the regional hegemon and taking steps to challenge the West on the global stage. American workers were betrayed, trading good jobs for cheap junk. The 0.1% became fantastically wealthy. The final step will be to send our children to die in a proxy war. Nauseating.

"Ba jiu" for "bai jiu." That's actually pretty clever. Unfortunately, cleverness does not seem to be one of the traditional Chinese values promoted by the current CCP leadership.

Like many, I remember that moment in the summer of '89 and that famous photo still stirs emotion. At the time it was a glimmer of hope that the good people of China would finally be able to rid themselves of an oppressive government. Then the sun set and darkness fell. Under the cover of night the tanks and armor rolled in and over the protestors violently crushing any and all resistance to the communist party leadership.

Today this article is a simple reminder of what a horror show the Chinese communist dictatorship was then and still is today and why I make every effort to avoid the made in China label.

Shame on Apple, Craftsman, Disney and the many other US based business doing deals with and in China.

I salute Ms. Cherie Chan for exposing this despicable incident that speaks volumes of the nature of the current regime in China. My profound respect and gratitude to Mr. Fu Hailu and those who laid down their lives 27 years ago during the June 4 student movement of 1989 for the future of the Chinese nation in heroic defiance of the dictatorship still ruling China.
