TIANANMEN SQUARE: Clinton will return to the scene of the crime

by Mindy Belz

Cover Story Sidebar | The June 25 arrival of President Clinton in China marks the first time in almost a decade that a sitting president has stepped foot in China. Until now, U.S. leaders shunned exchanging pleasantries with the communist leaders who instigated the June 4, 1989, offensive that killed as many as 800 student demonstrators in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. The sting from that blow to basic freedoms has eased but slowly, particularly since the Chinese government has not changed its position.
