In this April 23, 2014 photo, Bao Tong, aide to the late reform-minded former Communist Party general secretary, Zhao Ziyang, holds up a photo of Zhao as he speaks from his home in Beijing, China. After the June 4, 1989, military crackdown to end weeks-long student protests, Bao was imprisoned for seven years. Since his release in 1996, he has lived under house arrest, his moves observed, his visitors screened by security services who sit at a desk in the lobby of his high-rise apartment building. In his apartment in western Beijing, with photos of Zhao on the shelves and walls, Bao spoke of his disappointment as how, despite the passing of 25 years, “It is as if time has stopped for China.”(AP Photo/Ng Han Guan)
