31 years ago in Tiananmen Square.
“When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength.”
- DJT in 1990

I lived in China, spoke Mandarin and made close friends.

Peaceful protest is our right. And one of our strongest avenues for change.
All the while, please wear a mask. Wash your hands. And get tested.
Be strong. Be safe.
