Taiwan urges Beijing to acknowledge Tiananmen crackdown

Taiwan called on China to atone for the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown on Thursday, as the island marked the anniversary of the day student-led protests were violently crushed by tanks with small vigils of its own.

"Around the world, there are 365 days in a year. Yet in China, one of those days is purposely forgotten each year," Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen said on Twitter. Hundreds gathered in Taipei on Tuesday for a candlelight vigil to mourn the Tiananmen dead, according to organisers. "I hope the truth about June 4 will be unveiled and I also want to show support for Hong Kong," Taiwanese lawyer Zoe Lee, 24, told AFP after joining the annual Tiananmen vigil for the first time.
