Commemorating the Unforgettable: Tiananmen 20 Years On

The legacy of the events of June 4, 1989, when peaceful demonstrations by Chinese students urging political reform were crushed by military force, was the topic of a half-day conference jointly organized by NED and the Laogai Research Foundation on June 2, 2009.

Two panels examined the impact of Tiananmen on the Chinese media, and the prospects of democratic reform today.
