Line 183: − The [[Tiananmen Square massacre]] took place when a series of peaceful pro-democracy demonstrations led by students, labor activists and intellectuals in [[China]] between April 15, 1989 and June 4, 1989, were broken up by the [[People's Liberation Army|army]].

In 1989, China’s Communist Party faced the challenge of large-scale protests in Beijing’s [[Tiananmen Square]] and in more than 100 other cities including [[Shanghai]]. Disagreements about how to respond split the top Party leadership and forced out the Party General Secretary at the
time, Zhao Ziyang. The decision by [[Deng Xiaoping]], then China’s Paramount Leader, to order in the [[People's Liberation Army|"People' army"]] to clear the Beijing protesters by force undermined the Party’s legitimacy.

No sanctions for obvious human rights violations were ever leveled by [[The West|Western powers]] and [[globalist]]s. In fact, China was welcomed into the [[World Trade Organization]] (WTO) in 2001 and granted Most Favored Nation (MFN) trade status by the [[United States]] in 2002, having made no reforms to its [[authoritarian]] and [[totalitarian]] system.
