Lil Bit Special Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 It's close to the 20 th anniversary of Tianaman Square and Big Brother is getting nervous. What a way to run a country... by fear. God bless the USA. China will be taking over the world, so we better get used to their ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faba Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 The good and the bad with China- they suppress their people still obviously- but without their support we would have had a collapsed economy by their buying our debt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 20th anniversary of Tiananmen massacre on June 4th. It doesn't seem like that long ago. I was on the tarmac at Kai Tak, the "old" Hong Kong airport, when they brought in just off the press copies of the International Tribune showing the tanks moving into Tiananmen Square. We'd landed there as an unscheduled stop to pick up strandeds from Typhoon Brenda and were on our way to Penang. Even though I'd already been on the plane for about 20 hours and knew it would likely be again as much before I was in my hotel room in Malaysia - I declined the offer to de-plane and go into Hong Kong. There was only a thin body of water between me and mainland China and for all we knew the whole country was in revolt and looking for political prisoners. I did without any cigarette's and kept my mouth shut while we were on that tarmac for 7 hours. I wasn't until I got into Singapore that I saw films of the carnage. Poor kids.
