Washington hosts Capitol Hill event to mark Tiananmen Square Massacre
The House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) recently hosted an event in Washington DC to mark the 36th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre.
Held at the US Capitol, the bipartisan event brought together lawmakers, human rights activists, and survivors of the CCP's repression, highlighting both the legacy of June 4, 1989, and the ongoing struggle for freedom in China, reported ANI news agency.
Addressing the gathering, Chairman John Moolenaar said: "For 76 years, the CCP's greatest victims have been the Chinese people themselves."
"Even the act of remembering Tiananmen is illegal in China today. But we remember. We remember the man who stood in front of a tank, and the students who demanded reform," Moolenaar said.
Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), Gus Bilirakis (R-FL), Young Kim (R-CA), Dan Newhouse (R-WA), Zach Nunn (R-IA), Chris Smith (R-NJ), and Jill Tokuda (D-HI) reportedly attended the meeting.
