20th anniversary

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the crucial events of 1989 in Tiananmen square, China, which saw the development of a mass movement which shook the Chinese regime to its very foundations. Chinaworker.info (Chinese socialist website launched by CWI supporters) is publishing a series of articles to mark the anniversary and examine its significance. Below, we link to the first article of this series, by Vincent Kolo of chinaworker.info, and also to an eye witness account of the 1989 events written by Steve Jolly, an elected councillor of the Socialist Party (CWI in Australia).
