Pompeo blasts China on anniversary of Tiananmen Square massacre
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo slammed China’s human rights record on the 30th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, calling on Beijing to end its oppression of Uighur Muslims and other groups.
In a statement released at 12:01 a.m. Beijing time Tuesday to coincide with the anniversary, the top U.S. diplomat spoke wistfully of American hopes that China’s integration into the global economy would lead to a “more open, tolerant society.”
The 30th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square killings is sure to spur criticism of Beijing from many corners.
On June 4, 1989, China’s communist leaders sent tanks into Tiananmen Square to stamp out pro-democracy demonstrations. The ensuing death toll likely ranges in the hundreds or even higher, though the exact total remains unknown due to Chinese government censorship.
“The events of 30 years ago still stir our conscience, and the conscience of freedom-loving people around the world,” Pompeo said in his statement.
“We urge the Chinese government to make a full, public accounting of those killed or missing to give comfort to the many victims of this dark chapter of history.”
