Beijing cannot pay money to compensate for the Tiananmen Square massacre
Tibetans and Indians express their solidarity towards the Mothers of Tiananmen and their movement as they seek the truth of what happened on 4 June 1989. For the former prime minister of the Tibetan government-in-exile, Beijing “is brutal to everyone, against minorities but also its own people”. Its offer of money in lieu of an apology is “unreasonable”.

Dharamsala (AsiaNews) – “China is brutal to everyone, against minorities but also its own people, and not only in the case of the massacre of Tiananmen Square. The brutal repression continues even today; Tibetans, Mongolians, Uyghurs, ethnic Manchurians, everyone is suffering,” said S Rinpoche, former prime minister of the Tibetan government-in-exile. Speaking to AsiaNews, he said that Beijing’s persecution is a constant feature of Chinese policy, one that has not changed in decades.
Rinpoche told AsiaNews that China’s policy is to destroy the national and cultural identity of the Tibetan people as well as that of the country’s 55 ethnic minorities. To achieve its goal, it “uses every method available, however oppressive or brutal, in order to eliminate the linguistic, cultural, and spiritual heritage of the Tibetan people.”
However, Beijing is oppressive against its own people. Twenty-two years have gone by since 4 June 1989, when the Chinese military fired on students and workers who were peacefully occupying Tiananmen Square, demanding democratic reforms. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, were killed.  read more »
