The 37th Anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre
Press Statement

Marco Rubio, Secretary of State

June 3, 2026

On June 4, the world marks 37 years since the Chinese Communist Party ordered its troops to attack thousands of peaceful demonstrators in and around Tiananmen Square. Chinese students, workers, and other civilians who lost their lives had gathered to exercise their natural rights and demand democratic reforms and accountability for corruption. We remember their lives and honor their legacy. No amount of censorship can erase the past. Those who sacrificed to uphold their unalienable rights of free expression and peaceful assembly will be vindicated someday.

...Those who sacrificed to uphold their unalienable rights of free expression and peaceful assembly will be vindicated someday.

当年下令戒烟清场的是由时任总理李鹏签署并颁布的。1989年5月20日，中国政府正式发布了《中华人民共和国国务院关于在北京市部分地区实行戒严的命令》。这一决定是在时任中央军委主席邓小平的主导和推动下，由中共高层（包括邓小平、杨尚昆等中共元老与部分政治局常委）共同做出的决策。这帮老东西都寿终正寝，远比普通老百姓活得长。如何 vindicated?

作为参与者和目击者，我认为那些在后期篡取了学生运动领导权的人如果真成功了的话，他们不比当权的共产党好到哪里去。都是一帮精致利己的混蛋。
