Taiwan's President Vows to Remember Tiananmen Crackdown, Slams China's Human Rights Record

In a bold statement, Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen has vowed to remember the Tiananmen Square crackdown, which occurred 33 years ago, and has slammed China's human rights record. The comments came as Taiwan marked the anniversary of the tragic event that saw Chinese government forces open fire on student protesters in Beijing.

Tiananmen Square Crackdown

The Tiananmen Square crackdown, which took place on June 4, 1989, was a brutal and deadly event that resulted in the deaths of hundreds, if not thousands, of people. The students and protesters were demanding greater democratic reforms and an end to corruption in China. The Chinese government responded with force, using tanks and gunfire to disperse the crowd.

Tsai's Statement

In a statement marking the anniversary of the event, Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen said that the Tiananmen Square crackdown would "never be forgotten" and that it was a reminder of the importance of upholding human rights and democracy. She also slammed China's human rights record, saying that it was "worsening" under the current government.

"We will never forget the Tiananmen Square crackdown, which is a painful reminder of the importance of human rights and democracy," Tsai said. "China's human rights record is worsening, and we must continue to stand up for our values and principles."

China's Response

China's government has consistently refused to acknowledge the number of deaths that occurred during the Tiananmen Square crackdown, and has instead accused foreign powers of interfering in its internal affairs. The Chinese government has also cracked down on any attempts to commemorate the anniversary of the event.

Taiwan's Relationship with China

Taiwan's relationship with China is complex and sensitive. While Taiwan is officially known as the Republic of China, Beijing sees it as a rogue province that must be reunified with the mainland. The two sides have been governed separately since the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949.
