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]] between April 15, 1989 and June 4, 1989. Disagreements about how to respond split the top Party leadership and forced out the Party General Secretary at the time, Zhao Ziyang.
