Protesters
Three weeks after the massacre, United States congress voted to enact an economic sanctions against China. Furthermore Mikhail Gorbachev, who was the Premiere of the U.S.S.R. publicly spoke out against the Chinese government, said “I hope that the government would adopt my own domestic reform program and begin to democratize the Chinese political system.”
Government
The Chinese government successfully put down the protest, kept people and the media quiet, and further enforced unconstitutional laws. The event resulted in the strengthening of the government and those who held authority in China. Throughout the years, China has manipulated as well as censored many information regarding the government system. They block all of the social media such as Facebook, twitter, and snapchat. They use propaganda and effectively make the general public have little value for democracy than 20 years ago because there is no need to call for a change. Moreover, younger generations have little interest on or no idea about the bloodshed event.
Economy
A few decades later the economy became less regulated and more Capitalistic, as a result it has grown exponentially, but is still a majority communist.
Learning from the event, China improved its policies and put People’s Armed Police on action. With the rise of internet, China has effectively strengthen the Internet Police. Deng Xiaoping’s “trip to the South” economic reform policies in 1992 sparked high level economic growth which had an important aspect of maintaining support from people. As time goes by, with the success of China’s economy, China in modern days is an important market for US companies, and there are many private companies in China.
