FEULNER: Tiananmen Square, 25 years later

By Ed Feulner

In this Wednesday, May 28, 2014 photo, a man looks at his smartphone next to Chinese policemen and a paramilitary policeman standing guard near a giant electronic screen showing a Chinese government propaganda message reading &quot;Dream road ahead, People's Communist party&quot; on Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China. Communist leaders have spent 25 years making sure there is no opportunity to discuss the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown that crushed pro-democracy protests at a cost of hundreds of lives. Far from easing off as China went through three changes of ruling party leadership and a revolution in social media, a relentless campaign aimed at erasing public memory of the most tumultuous event of the past three decades has been steadily updated and tightened.
