521 - The Tiananmen Square Massacre

Over nearly two months in 1989, student led protests erupted across China as people called for reforms. The centre of the movement was Tiananmen Square in Beijing where more than a million people gathered. On June 3rd the army was sent in to clear the protestors, ending with devastating consequences. This is the seventh most voted for topic for Block 2025.


This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 09:08 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report)
