Thirty Years after Tiananmen: The PRC as an Emerging Global Threat to Freedom

Abstract

The article emphasizes the importance of memory, thirty years after Tiananmen, and truthful rendering of history, and discusses the sustaining of the struggle for freedom and democracy in the context of the inseparability of the Chinese Communist Party-state’s, symbiotically and inextricably linked, domestic repression of political dissent and international projection of covert and corrupting influence.
