LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Remember Tiananmen Square

OPINION:

The June 4 and June 5 anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre has come and gone. I remember when these events were going on, and thought that the world would stand up to the Chinese dictatorship. No one stood up. I remember that President Clinton gave China “most favored nation” trade status after the massacre. Now there are people in Hong Kong protesting. Maybe it will take a “Hong Kong massacre” for the “democratic” countries of the world to do something. As a supporter of democracy, I think that the government of the United States should oppose, not appease, all dictatorships.
