Is the Tiananmen episode over?


Since the end of Mao Zedong age and the begginings of Den Xiaoping transformations, the Chinese socialist party saw the necesity of a continuos adaptation to the world they were living. They made a deep research of why and how the communist political systems around the world failed. They analized all the economical, political, social, cultural and international issues that were involved in these systems and the mistakes made by their predecesors on regard to its application arriving, among other things, to the conclusion that their system should be flexible, open to knoweledge and technology and with an armonious society ruled by law. A kind of “Chinese democratic system”.

Despite of all these changes an “discoveries” they never looked inside and tought about the importance of different ways of thinking inside of its society. They still believe that all the people should be ruled by the same values and minds. Chinese government do not allow any kind of opposition to the unique party and the judicial power is not independent because is under the legislative power mandate.

In terms of democracy that has no sense, is completely contradictory and that was what the young people of Tiananmen thought and were fighting for “Without democracy there is no modernization”. However, the “New democratic” government smashed their rights and their request showing everyone its enourmus militar capacity against just young citizens and warning the rest of the people of the danger of being in an opposite way to the goverments aligments.

This giant emergent country still goes for that path. It offers lots of opportunities to its citizens in terms of study, ¿work? (not always dignified), etc but all that is under the conditions of keeping aligned to the parties rules. Let us see what is about to come to China under this mental, poitical oppresive system but at same time economically succesfull State.

  1. I agree with you, the Chinese government realize that some changes had to be made in order to succeed in the international world, but still they face many issues to become a fully democratic nation, even if that is not their intention some really important problems have to be resolved, the Tiananmen episode is one important event in China history, that shows, how the freedom of speech is not taken into account and any different comments or points of view from the government is seen as a tread or danger for the nation, as you said china still has a path to follow as an emergent country specially for the respect of human rights and decent working conditions in an oppressive political system.
