Beijing: There was never a challenge to the leadership of Communist China like that of the last days. In cities like the entire country protesters took to the streets to demand democracy and freedom, their inspiration has been Hu Yaobang, the liberal referent dismissed by the hard line of the party 2 years ago. In commemorating the death of Hu Yaobang demanding the implementation of the progressive policies he defended, the students have put the government on the defensive, this can be seen using tactics such as the peaceful sit-in that the authorities had never seen before. Insert student protest in Tiananmen Square. Chinese authorities attend the funeral of Hu Yaobang.
