China looks back at Tiananmen massacre

Chinese authorities blanketed Beijing´s Tiananmen square with police officers today and prevented most journalists from filming at the site, as the world commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen massacre.

Thousands died in 1989 as government troops cracked down on pro-democracy demonstrations.  But the incident is such a taboo in China, that it wasn´t mentioned by any of the local papers.   

There were no protests reported on the mainland, although some 150,000 people did hold a vigil in the autonomous city of Hong Kong.

In part two of our series on the Tiananmen anniversary, Daniel Bastard brings us the voices of today´s China, as it looks back on one of its modern tragedies.
