The future of communism in China and all over the world lies on the people who live under this tyrant rule. The foundations of Chinese communism shook after the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. Between April 15 and June 4, 1989 college students went to the large historical plaza known as Tiananmen Square and protested the communist government. For fear of losing control of the power of communism, the Chinese government sent soldiers and tanks to the Tiananmen Square and slaughtered all the student protesters. China claims only 200 to 300 people died during that period but the Chinese Red Cross claims as much as 2,000 to 3,000 people died. The fact that China murdered up to 3,000 of its own people because they protested the government and that they tried to hide the real impact shows that they are fearful of losing a way of life that has become so comfortable to them. The massacre opened the eyes of almost every country around the world. The US discovered the cruelness of the Chinese government and Communism itself. If the Chinese citizens rise up one more time against communism, which I predict happening in the next ten years, the government will be overthrown. If it comes to it, I believe democracies around the world will help the people in their cause. And if the people choose to stay quiet, communism will stay alive and well.

It is rumored that during the Tiananmen Square Massacre when student protesters were shot, the government mailed the bill for the number of bullets used to the victim's family.
