The Controversy Of Leung's Protest In Hong Kong

Joshua Wong is a male teen activist who is now in his 20s. He fought during 2014 for democracy for Hong Kong and the rest of China. He had a political party named Scholarism, eventually, they split up and Joshua Wong now has a new political party, Demosistō. Both parties fought for democracy for China. He wants to fight for democracy for China because he does not like the current government system of the Chinese. Right now China is in a communist state/ like the Soviet Union was. A communist state is a type of government system in which the state plans and controls the economy and one single person (often an authoritarian) holds most of the power. Joshua Wong does not like this type of

Would the closer ties to the Chinese communist party have a bad influence on Hong Kong’s

In time, China was hoped to find that social and political freedom is the only basis of that greatness. The United States has helped nurture this change by cooperating with China where possible, without allowing the differences that do exist, such as human rights, and nonproliferation commitments to interfere.

Lastly, the ideal of loyalty to the mother country is highly valued in Chinese political culture. For example, in China, there is not a right to free speech or freedom of the press, yet the majority of Chinese do not seem bothered by that fact and do not attempt to overthrow or modify their government structure, though they could do so relatively easily, if not through sheer numbers alone. However, the desire for unity through the prevention of misconduct is ultimately the most important thing to

At first these plans along with an extremely ingenious propaganda campaign stirred great optimism and productivity within the Chinese people, but as years went by the initial flare and excitement went out and few of these promises, reforms and goals had been reached. In some cases the promises were lies. The real actions of the Communist party showed quite a different picture than the lie of democracy that it was feeding the people. The new government never was a democratic one. As a matter of fact it was a dictatorship controlled by the China’s Communist Party (CCP). Throughout the years the communist government consistently and cruelly suppressed any attempts for the country’s democratization.

This investigation will assess the significance of the propaganda that arose out of the student protesting Tiananmen Square in 1989. Using specifically the "Tank Man" photograph taken by Jeff Widener on the 5th of June 1989 during the protests, I will investigate the extent to which this piece of media influenced relations between Australia and China immediately after the events of the student protest. In short, the investigation will try and answer the question as to how influential western media coverage was in its representation of China and if it acted to highlight divisions in foreign relations.

The specific choice of topic arose from an interest in the iconic photograph, which encapsulates the resistance and opposition towards the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). This investigation will assess the significance of the propaganda that arose out of the student protesting Tiananmen Square in 1989. Using the photographs, specifically the “Tank Man” photograph, taken by Jeff Widener on the 5th of June 1989 during the protests and smuggled out of China and published by western media, I will investigate the extent to which this piece of media influenced relations between Australia and China immediately after the events of the student protest. In short, this investigation considers and questions the influence western media coverage had in its

Contrary to the Ying and Yang’s dependence on each other in Chinese philosophy, the people of China and their government could not depend on each other. The Tiananmen Square Protest of 1989 was a democratic movement calling for political and social reforms in China. This student led protest had been going on for many months but was forcefully oppressed by China’s People’s Liberation Army on the night of June third and fourth, 1989. The deaths that occurred as a consequence of the Tiananmen Square Protest was not the fault of the students, but rather, the disastrous situation China was in beforehand, the common belief that demonstrations would benefit the people, and the government’s obstinate decisions.

Notably, there is a protest by the Chinese student population occurring now. They want unrestrictive choosing of the next leader of Hong Kong (Hong Kong Protest Leader).While the revolution and protests have not shown their success in the direct form wanted yet, they share similar characteristics to the French revolution. The thought to be lower class, the students do not have a say even though they have the potential to be leaders in their country in the future. This has sparked protests in the financial and business districts halting actives and operations. In comparison to the French Revolution, both lower classes are calling for change. Students want a change in the election process, where currently government has to approve a candidate resulting in an often-biased process that does not allow for progression as a whole (Rauhala, A New Generation).This has been an ongoing issue, and when it had built up over the years among a group it finally caused these protests. The government was the cause as were they in the French Revolution. The students want a change in how their government operates that has been central to the running of government for

The Tiananmen Square protest occurred in 1989 in Beijing, China and was primarily student led. Protesters were anxious about the country’s future with political elites, and no longer wanted a communist regime. In 1980, government reforms left the economy in a disaster, which benefited only a certain few private citizens and government elites. Grievances included “inflation, limited preparedness of graduates for the new economy, and restrictions on political participation.” (edcuationrays) Students desired democracy, freedom of speech and press, and more accountability - all inspired by Westerners. When leader Hu Yaobang died, people took to Tiananmen Square to protest. At its height, one million individuals occupied the Square. In response, China’s new leader, Deng Xiaoping, used force and declared martial law. As a result, 300,000 troops were sent to Beijing, leading to widespread arrests and deaths. This event is extremely important because it led to more intense sanctions on the citizens of China - the opposite of what they hoped. The government responded by suppressing freedom of press and speech and there was negative implication on international trade . By analyzing grievance theory, relative deprivation, and collective action and how these describe how citizens protested in Tiananmen Square, we can see why the protest erupted. Yet, it is not obvious by the theories why the protest was unsuccessful and why the government responded with more

The Tiananmen Square Protest by another named is June Fourth. This event happened in front of Tiananmen Square. The Tiananmen Square is the People's Republic of China (PRC) which located in the capital of China, Beijing. Tiananmen also are Qing and Ming dynasties imperial city's main entrance. On the wall of the imperial city is a chairman Mao Zedong's portrait. On October 1st, 1949, the founding ceremony of the PRC was held in Tiananmen Square. Therefore, the Tiananmen Square became nation emblem and symbol of China, and Tiananmen has 500 years historical connotations of China.

The Tiananmen Square Uprising also known as the “June Fourth Incident” was a student-led demonstration in Beijing. This regarded the more popular movement in Beijing protest during this period. Also, known as the “89 Democracy Movement” The protest was by force blocked after the government had declared Martial Law. Troops would ultimately kill several hundred protestors who tried to stop the military blockage with tanks and assault rifles. The civilian death rate was estimated between a few hundred to thousands. Soon a rapid economic development and social changes would follow in the post Mao-era China. These protesters would soon reflect the anxieties about the soon future for China. There was a reform in the 1980’s that had led a nascent

The Tiananmen Square protests were characterised by student led demonstrations, which were a greater part of a question being asked at that time regarding how far China should reform. The protests began as a result of the death a Hu Yaobang, a Communist party general, who advocated for greater political and economic reform (Naughton, 2007). This had both short term and longer-term consequences. In the immediate, the government responded by declaring martial law and opening fire on civilians. However, in the longer term this would influence a view among CCP leadership that a strong propaganda system was necessary to ensure the parties political control. The time period was crucial for two reasons. First, it negatively impacted China’s

Fifty-Three people dead, over 3000 injured, and over 8000 people arrested. One of America’s most famous cities is crumbling right in front of the country’s eyes (Newkirk, 1). Cars line the street, engulfed in flames. Store windows and doors, completely smashed, covering the sidewalks with dangerous shards of glass, people running on top of it, as if they did not notice it digging into their feet. Angry mobs blocked intersections in South Los Angeles, tearing drivers from their cars and beating them (Banks, 1). Over one billion of the city’s dollars lost to arson and looting (Newkirk 1). The LA riots are some of the most iconic and deadly violent protests in United States’ history. Protests-when they go berserk-cause an immense amount of destruction and loss of both money and lives. Even though protests are protected under the First Amendment Right as the freedom to assemble, safety should always come before freedom.

The Canadians at the Battle of Hong Kong failed due to the insufficient training of the soldiers, which impaired their fighting effectiveness. When selecting troops to deploy to Hong Kong, Major General H. D. G. Crerar chose two infantry battalions, the Winnipeg Grenadiers and the Royal Rifles of Canada, from a list of units deemed unsuited for deployment. “Instead, Crerar chose the Royal Rifles of Canada and the Winnipeg Grenadiers from category C, defined by Lawson as “those units which, due to either recent employment or insufficient training, are not recommended” to be deployed at the present time.”[ Pages 13-14, The Damned] Due to the recent deployment of these troops to Jamaica and Newfoundland, and their need for refresher training,
