TAIPEI/BEIJING - China must “sincerely repent” for the bloody crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators in and around Tiananmen Square three decades ago, Taiwan said on Monday, as a Chinese newspaper said nobody in China was interested in dragging up the past.
“We earnestly admonish the Chinese authorities to face up to the historical mistake, and sincerely apologize as soon as possible.” “Merely afflicting China once, the incident has not become a long-term nightmare for the country,” the paper, published by the ruling Communist Party’s official People’s Daily, said.
Beijing has increased government suppression of rights activism, pushing the demonstrators’ original goals further away than ever. Chinese Defence Minister Wei Fenghe on Sunday defended Beijing’s handling of Tiananmen, saying the government “was decisive in stopping the turbulence”, a rare official acknowledgement of the events of June 4.
