In April 1989, encouraged by the economic reforms of the Chinese government, Chinese students and civilians gathered in the capital city of Beijing, at Tiananmen Square, to demand democratic political reforms. At first, government soldiers were unable to disperse the crowd peacefully. The students paraded a statue modeled on the U.S. Statue of Liberty. Thousands more civilians joined the demonstrators in the square. This democratic movement spread rapidly to other cities in China.

Finally, on June 4, the government responded by calling in the army to Tiananmen Square. Ten thousand soldiers moved through the square, killing hundreds of demonstrators and arresting many more. One student (pictured above) stopped a column of tanks. In the end, the demonstrators were no match for the troops and were dispersed. The political freedom movement that had earlier swept Eastern Europe collapsed in China. This event strained China's relations with the Western world.
