BBC World Service - Business Matters, Tiananmen Square 25 Years On

The Tiananmen Square massacre and how China has changed in the past 25 years

The Tiananmen Square massacre and how China has changed in the past 25 years.

A pivotal moment in 20th Century history was when Chinese troops killed hundreds - possibly thousands - of unarmed demonstrators in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. We hear from surviving protestors, including one man who spent 17 years in prison. We learn of the economic as well as political pressures behind the protests and hear about the fascinating tale of the one remaining pro-democracy campaigner still under lock and key.
The Guardian's China correspondent Tania Branigan, Rachel Lu of Tea Leaf Nation, and Professor Peter Morici are all live on air with presenter Manuela Saragosa.
