bottom line is the lack of trust of the system......because china doesn't
have such a democratic system. on that point, we agree.
but a broader point is fundamentally 6.4 started out as student appeal to
the gov for a free press, against corruption, and more liberty to citizen.
basic rights that every citizen in every democracy in the world enjoys......
but still none of which exists today in china.
to say 6.4 is not a student democratic movement is almost to say 5.4 is not
a student democratic movement.

CleverBeaver (我不是Otter) 于 (Thu Jun 6 12:52:28 2013, 美东) 提到:
there wasn't a democratic process for the mass to express what they want.
the movement was badly organized, which was understandable.
to give you an example, Ms Chai decided that ppl occupying the square should
vote to decide whether to leave. that was probably the closest thing they
had to a democratic process. but the problem was many of those who wanted to
leave would have left already, so the result of the voting would always be
skewed towards staying.

but look beyond that.....beyond one or two individuals and their limitations
. look at the bigger picture. look at the will and aspiration of the
majority students and civilians.
several petitions to the gov -
1. free press
2. against corruption
3. human rights
if you focus on the fundamentals, you would conclude differently.
would you believe any democratic movement or student movement free of
personal ambitions and interests? i am not that naive. but that should NOT
stop you to believe that the whole movement was right and just for the

I don't think other tyrants did not have auto weapons or tanks, some Russian
communists even took control of the central government and sent the order
to their troops. They all collapsed.
The reason behind the survival of Chinese communists is those Chinese 64
elites only elites, they are defnitely 一小撮. By end of May 1989, they were
there because they wanted to. Students originally sitting on the square
left. At end of May, 1989, they had to recruit people to support them. Their
way: to send out lies and gossips about communists party's leader would
resign. So next day, they lost their left credit.

then we are sort of arguing chicken and egg - which comes first. the reason
for the movement is precisely because of discontent, unjust in the chinese
society and lack of right channel (rule of law) and due process.
the important thing isn't really to select a leader, even a wise one, but
rather to adopt a system where majority people's opinion is reflected in
making the law and governing the country (not just one party's and often it'

it was the easiest time in life to run such a survey. People at that time
were all active and wanted change.
Aslo how did you get your 60%-70% number? My guess is 95% after 6/4/1989,
but
only 5%-10% actually "participated" before that day. Of course 100% citizens
in Beijing were affected, from middle April until early June, 1989.
BTW, if you follow your logic on the communists side, all citizen in beijing
, supported and cooperated the forcefully suppression of those "elites".
Also all people in whole China, including you and me, supported their false
claim that the "decision" was right, because no one stood up and disagreed.

Dude, what matters is the approval rating. Do you agree, during the 6.4
movement, the majority (more than 50% by definition) approved student's
peaceful petition and political demand for a more freer press and anti-
corruption policy.
If it were small number, as you keep saying, beijing cops would have been
capable of dealing with the crowd and put the demonstration to the rest.
Have you seen anything in this magnitude in any country when a gov needs a
formidable professionally trained army with tanks to crack down? Stop the
nonsense. It's not minority but majority people were participating and

liberation army is people's army; communist party is people's party. how
come people's army turn the guns to the people it supposed to protect?
before 6.4, nobody believed the gov could use military tanks to stop a
student movement.
conversely, if students believed gov could use the brutal force, there would
have been no 6.4, period.

Don't agree with your first point. Democracy simply means major people rule
. It's not that complicated. The complicate part is the how, not the what.
How to do it is different from country to country. In the U.S., the
founding fathers looked at all democratic systems from ancient Greek to the
more recent 16th century systems in Europe before they wrote the
constitution and proposed the best democratic system they had in mind.
Note that what students asked for isn't a democratic system yet. The
movement is asking the gov to have the willingness to move to that direction
- such as open the press, fight corruption. In order to achieve full
democracy, there must be a more organized approach (like at what the
Americans have done). I don't think students had any political or
organizational process and model worked out. That's not their demand. They
were asking the gov to at least start the basic conversation and allow more
free press as tools to fight corruption and injustice, which were among many
social and political issues then, and still now.
Unrealistic, perhaps yes in hindsight. But to deny the just cause and even
deny the demotic nature of the movement, it is indeed very sad. Because the
people who died almost died in vain.

Well, does not look like you ever saw those few people there in real life.
You lived mostly in campus and rumors. No one knows what those students
leaders' demands, they themselves could even agree on those things.
It is a small number, but as I mentioned before, Chinese society is
hierarchical. So cops would rather stay away from higher class members, and
let them do whatever they want. Those students unfortunately a few "elites".
No cop likes to deal with them, they failed because of that too.
The approval rating is a joke in China. On 1949, evil Maoists got over 50%
approval rate, they further boosted the approval rate to 100% in 1950s. Does
it make you believe they were legit?
One last thing, the students peaceful petition. There was no such thing
there at that time. Those students originally on the square on April were
not there on June. No one seems to notice that case now as both sides want
to hide this.
The status of Beijing during those time were anarchic, the government stayed
arguing between Zhao and Li people, and student leaders did not even care,
they simply wanted more people to watch them while function as human shield.

Approval ratings are approval ratings as long as they are accurate. You can

ratings were legit. Just like Hitler had high approval ratings and Nazi
German was a democratic country. They are not jokes. You are arguing
different thing - the maturity and ideology of a democracy. Democracy simply
means majority people rule.
The 6.4 movement had high approval ratings among general public. If it weren
't, it wouldn't even be able to sustain for half long. The majority opinion
was open the press, fight corruption, start a democratic dialogue with
public on many social issues. If the party respected the majority opinion,
there would be no 6.4 massacre.

if 6.4 is not a democratic movement, then i don't know what is. one can
argue that none of these democratic student movements blessed by communist
party is a democratic movement because of the flaws you and i know.

there wasn't a democratic process for the mass to express what they want.

to give you an example, Ms Chai decided that ppl occupying the square should
vote to decide whether to leave. that was probably the closest thing they
had to a democratic process. but the problem was many of those who wanted to
leave would have left already, so the result of the voting would always be
skewed towards staying.

Don't agree with your first point. Democracy simply means major people rule
. It's not that complicated. The complicate part is the how, not the what.
How to do it is different from country to country. In the U.S., the
founding fathers looked at all democratic systems from ancient Greek to the
more recent 16th century systems in Europe before they wrote the
constitution and proposed the best democratic system they had in mind.
Note that what students asked for isn't a democratic system yet. The
movement is asking the gov to have the willingness to move to that direction
- such as open the press, fight corruption. In order to achieve full
democracy, there must be a more organized approach (like at what the
Americans have done). I don't think students had any political or
organizational process and model worked out. That's not their demand. They
were asking the gov to at least start the basic conversation and allow more
free press as tools to fight corruption and injustice, which were among many
social and political issues then, and still now.
Unrealistic, perhaps yes in hindsight. But to deny the just cause and even
deny the demotic nature of the movement, it is indeed very sad. Because the
people who died almost died in vain.

Well, does not look like you ever saw those few people there in real life.
You lived mostly in campus and rumors. No one knows what those students
leaders' demands, they themselves could even agree on those things.
It is a small number, but as I mentioned before, Chinese society is
hierarchical. So cops would rather stay away from higher class members, and
let them do whatever they want. Those students unfortunately a few "elites".
No cop likes to deal with them, they failed because of that too.
The approval rating is a joke in China. On 1949, evil Maoists got over 50%
approval rate, they further boosted the approval rate to 100% in 1950s. Does
it make you believe they were legit?
One last thing, the students peaceful petition. There was no such thing
there at that time. Those students originally on the square on April were
not there on June. No one seems to notice that case now as both sides want
to hide this.
The status of Beijing during those time were anarchic, the government stayed
arguing between Zhao and Li people, and student leaders did not even care,
they simply wanted more people to watch them while function as human shield.
