News24 | Taiwan President Hails Courage of Tiananmen Square Demonstrators: ‘We Refuse to Forget History’

  • On June 4, 2025, Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te marked the 36 years since the Tiananmen Square tragedy, paying tribute to the courage of the pro-democracy protesters in Beijing during 1989.
  • The massacre occurred after peaceful, student-led protests calling for political reform prompted the Chinese government to declare martial law and deploy troops who violently suppressed unarmed civilians on June 3-4, 1989.
  • The Chinese Communist Party continues to censor and suppress discussion of the event, which killed hundreds or potentially thousands while official figures remain unconfirmed and disputed by rights groups and witnesses.
  • Lai and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio highlighted that while oppressive governments attempt to suppress and rewrite historical events, democratic nations work to uphold the truth. Rubio emphasized the importance of remembering the courage of those who lost their lives fighting for basic freedoms.
  • Taiwan vows to uphold democracy and freedom by remembering the massacre, standing against authoritarian threats, cooperating with like-minded partners, and continuing annual commemorations to preserve universal human rights values.
