'89 Democracy Movement

Tiananmen Square incident, also called June Fourth incident or 6/4, series of protests and demonstrations in China in the spring of 1989 that culminated on the night of June 3-4 with a government crackdown on the demonstrators in Tiananmen Square in Beijing. Although the demonstrations and their subsequent repression occurred in cities throughout the country, the events in Beijing--and especially in Tiananmen Square, historically linked to such other protests as the May Fourth Movement (1919)--came to symbolize the entire incident.
