Reports say China is blocking popular information- and video-sharing sites in the days leading up to the anniversary of the prodemocracy protests and subsequent massacre.

Ugh...stuff like this makes me so sad.

History not learned is bound to be repeated.

Yes it is awfull,

IN a good news, by trying to block it you know what is going to happen right?

NOW ALL THE WORLD WILL FIND OUT, people that didn't even knew are going to know now.

Streisand effect

Dong, a correction to your story. The students had gathered prior to June 4, 1989 and had been protesting for months before the government forcibly dispersed them on the early morning of June 4th.

Over the past few months I've heard a lot of people in the United States and Europe complain about Guantanamo and waterboarding (myself included). Remembering a story like Tiananmen really puts things into perspective.
