Hong Kong Organizer Plans Socially Distant Tiananmen Square Vigil

Lee Cheuk-yan of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democrat Movements of China, organizer of an annual June 4 vigil to remember the victims of Communist China’s murderous crackdown on Tiananmen Square in 1989, said on Wednesday that this year’s event will be held in a socially distant manner due to extended coronavirus bans on large public gatherings.

Wall Street Journal Publishes Chinese Propaganda After Getting Kicked out of China

Xie used the WSJ’s editorial space to repeat China’s political narrative of the coronavirus pandemic.
