1989 Tiananmen Square protests

State Council Spokesman met With appointed representatives of Government-Sanctioned Student associations

Tuesday Jul 23, 2019
Beijing, China

The stunning success of the March forced the government into making concessions and meeting with student representatives. On 29 April, State Council spokesman Yuan Mu met with appointed representatives of government-sanctioned student associations. While the talks discussed a wide range of issues, including the Xinhua Gate incident and freedom of the press, they achieved few substantive results. Independent student leaders such as Wuer Kaixi refused to attend.
