TAIPEI– Taiwan’s new President Lai Ching-te said Tuesday the memory of Beijing’s deadly crackdown at Tiananmen Square “will not disappear in the torrent of history,” in a post marking the event’s 35th anniversary.
“Because this reminds us that democracy and freedom are not easy to come by, we must… respond to autocracy with freedom, face the expansion of authoritarianism with courage.” In his Facebook post Tuesday, Lai said that “a truly respectable country is one where people speak out”. The Tiananmen crackdown killed hundreds or people, with some estimating the death toll was higher than a thousand.
