It's not.
Most of you guys only know of communist china for the cultural revolution, great famine and this 8964 event.
But in reality, the late 70s to early 80s was a huge period of "democratic"movement. Or "realignment" is more accurate. Part of the follow up from end of cultural revolution.
There's democracy wall in campus, huge amount of debates on papers. all talking about how to go back to the core of Marxism, which includes reducing bureaucracy of ccp.

I remember it well. For a very brief moment some of us optimists in the west thought the Chinese population would rise up. Some did. However the brutality and totality of the crackdown was not imaginable. Now we know fully why they don't rise up.

The CCP has done an amazing job of allowing market activity (something the Chinese diaspora thrives at all over the planet, by the way.) yet keeping control by correcting, disappearing, or killing ANYONE that gets too big for their britches.

I don't know. If you have information I would be interested in learning of his fate. You're talking about the tank man, not Jack Ma, right?

He was made to bend the knee. He's back now, I think. He made some sort of an appearance in China recently.

CCP has been crushing everyone ever since that attempt. Even the wealthiest like Jack Ma couldn't raise voices against the brutality and injustice by CCP.
I agree that every country must come forward and put pressure on the Chinese rule to direct the situation.

Where did Jack Ma go? Didn't he vacate the country and subsequently lay low?

Do you think China will ever gain freedom in the 21st century? A move away from communism and to libertarianism?

The people have been protesting consistently. You just havent noticed, Poisoned toothpaste, lead paint on children's toys, poison foods. They're all attempts to slow down the Chinese economy. It is the west at fault for trying to save a dollar they didn't have.
