The Crackdown: Tiananmen in 1989

During the documentary on the Tiananmen protests, it was obviously known that Deng's crackdown against those who opposed Communist rule, and wanted to voice out for democrat order and free speech, was militantly undone through Deng's intolerance. He didn't want Communism to fall to it's feet and surrender before it had a chance to prevail in all regions. That's why the governments decision to throw over the protesting people came of second nature, almost automatic. Even though these actions weren't pleasantly digestible by the government, in the article regarding the interview with Lee Kuan Yew, it gives us the impression that China's government is ultimately at it's apex;"The regime in Beijing is more stable than any alternative government that can be formed in China." Lee later stated that if the students were to carry control that day in Tiananmen, it would be of, "Something worse than the Soviet Union." Lee gives us the idea that China is only and ever will be, to succeed, a communist country.
