Mission Statement
On the night of June 3-4, 1989, Chinese People’s Liberation Army troops massacred hundreds of peaceful demonstrators on the streets of Beijing in what the world knows as the Tiananmen Massacre. The troops were executing orders from the top leadership of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) headed by paramount ruler Deng Xiaoping. The conscience of the world was shocked by this brutal repression. Deng condemned the protest movement of April 15-June 4, 1989 as a counter-revolutionary rebellion aimed at overthrowing the People’s Republic of China. Ever since then the CCP has clung to this falsehood and prohibited public discussion of both the movement and its violent suppression.
The Tiananmen Initiative Project aims to reignite discussion of the meaning of the Spring 1989 movement in China and the as yet unfulfilled promise of genuine political reform its participants sought. We aim to do this by encouraging various kinds of public meetings around the world around the time of the twenty-fifth anniversary – April 15-June 4, 2014 – of what has aptly been called the Beijing Spring.
