China: Tiananmen update · Global Voices
John Kennedy

Writing from her blog T-Salon, Andrea mentions an upcoming television program which will look at the identity of ‘the Tank Man'—known to many as the Tiananmen square protestor who stood his ground against a line of incoming China's People's Liberation Army tanks on June 5, 1989.
“I remember it was just over Christmas vacation that the tank man slipped into a conversation that I had with a former Beijing resident who is now living abroad. He said both the tank man and the soldier who operated the tank were executed,” she recounts.
