Her i december 2022 blev jeg inviteret inden for i programmet ‘Kampen om historien’ på DR’s P1 hos studievært Adam Holm. Emnet var Kina, og sammen med PhD Mai Corlin blev jeg bedt om at sammenligne den aktuelle tilstand i det kinesiske samfund med forsommeren 1989, hvor Beijings centrum blev scenen for hundredtusinder af aktivisters protester mod det daværende styre.
Sjældent viste fotos fra den amerikanske medieplatform NPR her.
A crowd gathers to view the unveiling of the Goddess of Democracy statue, built by the protesters, on Tiananmen Square at the end of May 1989. The statue was destroyed less than a week later as the violent crackdowns began.Some protesting students vowed never to withdraw from Tiananmen Square even after martial law was declared in May 1989.
