Popular Post webfact Posted June 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2020 Tiananmen massacre cookies delivered to Chinese embassy By The Nation Pro-democracy activist Netiwit Chotiphatphaisal on Wednesday (June 3) distributed special “Tiananmen 1989” cookies to mark the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre. Netiwit and fellow activists handed out the cookies to passersby in Siam Square and Chinatown before also attempting to present them at the Chinese Embassy. Hundreds of protesters were reportedly killed on June 4, 1989, when Chinese troops launched a crackdown on a largely peaceful rally for basic rights being held in the Beijing square. “We hope that eating the cookies will help [Chinese authorities] to feel remorse for violating basic human rights and learn from the Tiananmen massacre so they give up oppressing Tibetan, Uighur, and Hong Kong people as well as building dams to destroy the Mekong River,” he said. The cookies feature a picture of Tiananmen Square and “Tank Man”, the unarmed protester photographed standing in front of a column of tanks. The flavour is milk tea, to represent the so-called “Milk Tea Alliance” of countries that China is allegedly trying to dominate, such as Thailand, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Netiwit also used the opportunity to promote a fund established to protect the Mekong River from China’s programme of dam-building. Earlier this week, police banned Netiwit and other activists from holding a vigil outside the Chinese Embassy to mark the massacre, citing the Emergency Decree and risk of Covid-19 infection. The move drew criticism from some observers, who said the government was using the state of emergency to suppress free speech instead of the virus.

holy cow cm Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Still see hope in some Thai people. I admire their gusto but unfortunately it is going to take a lot of joining hands to change the Chinese government and this one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Neeranam Posted June 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2020 Most Chinese have never heard of 'tank man', the most famous photo of the 20th century.

BobbyL Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Surprised they were allowed to do this and it is actually being publicised in the Thai media due the similarities with what has happened here in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toho Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Very wel done. Only problem is, that China is too powerful already and is threatening persons, countries with counter measures, if these try to mingle in so called "Chinese internal affairs", Tibet and Taiwan considered "lost sons", who have to be brought back in the mothers womb. China is the factory of the world. Corona showed that once again, many products having to come from China (face masks, etc). We are depending too much on China, they know that and therefor they can be arrogant. In name communist, but in reality imperialists and capitalists, suppressing nations, stealing intellectual property. Europe, USA, Australia, NZ, Asian countries should unite, stand together and force China to be more democratic and behave in a normal way. Bring back production to our own countries a.s.a.p.: better quality control, faster supply chains, less subject to Chinese blackmail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why "reportedly?" There are no official figures obviously. There were few Western journalists and the one that got the Tank Man photo had to hide the film in the cistern in the toilet as the special police raided his apartment, taking all film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
