Tiananmen Anniversary Marked by Silence, Security, and Arrests

On the 35th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown, China and Hong Kong heightened security to prevent public remembrance of the event. Checkpoints and police vehicles were prominent in Beijing, while Hong Kong authorities detained several individuals. The Chinese government continues to censor any mention of the crackdown, which remains a sensitive and taboo subject. Commemorative events were held overseas, including in Washington, D.C., London, and Taipei.
