We are very proud in a way that Hong Kong with our freedom that we enjoy we can still light up the candles for the whole China. When you imagine that the whole China, 1.3 (b) billion people was brainwashed, was suppressed, even their memory of June 4th. Here in Hong Kong, under Chinese sovereignty, we are able to light up the candles. So I think it is very encouraging to our compatriots inside China.

In mainland (China), this kind of commemoration event is definitely not allowed. Many young people do not know about this event, especially those who were born after 1980s, many of them do not know about this event. This kind of commemoration event is not allowed. So I think this kind of atmosphere in Hong Kong is very good. I hope this kind of event can be brought back to mainland China with mainlanders in Hong Kong like us.

STORYLINE:
Thousands took part in an annual candlelight vigil in Hong Kong on Friday to commemorate the 21st anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown.
Hong Kong residents took advantage of the freedom of speech in this former British colony, but in mainland China security forces were on alert for any attempts to commemorate the anniversary.
The crowd at Hong Kong's Victoria Park was large enough to fill six football pitches, though were no official estimates.
Democracy activists laid a wreath at a makeshift monument dedicated to the Tiananmen victims, bowing three times in line with traditional Chinese mourning customs.
China's government has never fully disclosed what happened when the military crushed the weeks-long, student-led protests on the night of June
3-4, 1989, killing hundreds or possibly more people.
It has long maintained that the protests were a counterrevolutionary riot.
On Thursday, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman reiterated the government's position on the 1989 protests.
Public discussion of the events or any displays referencing them remain forbidden on the mainland.
In Hong Kong, public awareness of this year's anniversary has been high because of perceived restrictions on mourning activities in the former
British colony that is promised freedom of speech.
Hong Kong police confiscated a large statue dedicated to the Tiananmen victims last Saturday - they released it on Tuesday - and a local university banned students from placing it on their campus.
The territory's leading English-language newspaper, the South China Morning Post, urged Beijing to reconsider its position on the 1989 protests
in an editorial Friday.

SUMMARY
=======
The Nanjing Massacre, or Rape of Nanjing, was an episode of mass murder and mass rape committed by Japanese troops against the residents of Nanjing (Nanking), then the capital of the Republic of China, during the Second Sino-Japanese War. In the Postal romanization system used at the time, the city's name was transliterated as Nanking, and the event called the Nanking Massacre or Rape of Nanking.
The massacre occurred over a period of six weeks starting on December 13, 1937, the day that the Japanese captured Nanjing. During this period, soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army murdered Chinese civilians and disarmed combatants who numbered an estimated 40,000 to over 300,000, and perpetrated widespread rape and looting.Since most Japanese military records on the killings were kept secret or destroyed shortly after the surrender of Japan in 1945, historians have been unable to accurately estimate the death toll of the massacre. The International Military Tribunal for the Far East in Tokyo estimated in 1946 that over 200,000 Chinese were killed in the incident. China's official estimate is more than 300,000 dead based on the evaluation of the Nanjing War Crimes Tribunal in 1947. The death toll has been actively contested among scholars since the 1980s.The event remains a contentious political issue and a stumbling block in Sino-Japanese relations. The Chinese government has been accused of exaggerating aspects of the massacre such as the death toll, while historical negationists and Japanese nationalists go as far as claiming the massacre was fabricated for propaganda purposes. The controversy surrounding the massacre remains a central issue in Japanese relations with other Asia-Pacific nations as well, such as South Korea.Although the Japanese government has admitted to the killing of a large number of non-combatants, looting, and other violence committed by the Imperial Japanese Army after the fall of Nanjing, and Japanese veterans who served there have confirmed that a massacre took place, a small but vocal minority within both the Japanese government and society have argued that the death toll was military in nature and that no such crimes ever occurred. Denial of the massacre and revisionist accounts of the killings have become a staple of Japanese nationalism. In Japan, public opinion of the massacre varies, but few deny outright that the event occurred.

Black-Box Offers For Tiananmen Mothers
Follow us on TWITTER:
Like us on FACEBOOK:
June 4 is the 22nd anniversary of the Tiananmen
Massacre. On May 31, in an open letter,
Tiananmen Mothers website exposed that the CCP
(Chinese Communist Party) contacted the families
of certain victims, trying to settle issues with money.
The open letter was posted on Tiananmen Mothers,
and was stating, Tiananmen Massacre victims
should not be desecrated or defiled.
127 family members of the dead signed the letter.
The open letter reads: For 22 years we recorded
203 victims who perished on Tiananmen.
Many are unidentified or there is no information of.
Among the 203 known victims, some were beaten
to death during protesting against CCP's atrocities;
others were shot when rescuing the wounded;
some were hunted down in home areas by troops;
others were shot by troops when hiding in buildings;
some were shot while taking photos on the scene.
After verification, none were found to be violent.
They were all peaceful protestors and citizens.
The letter states that in February and April 2011,
a police department in a Beijing district contacted
a Tiananmen mother privately and told her
not to disclose the truth in exchange for money.
They stressed, this is for individuals, not the group.
Ding Zilin, leader of Tiananmen Mothers,
told overseas media that authorities repeatedly
sought out this person, exhibiting unusual urgency.
Tiananmen Mothers made it very clear
that first, they don't accept the visitor's identity.
He didn't represent authorities, but was a policeman.
Second, a major issue like Tiananmen Massacre
cannot be resolved in a private black-box operation.
Third, they cannot agree with the compensation,
as it was only for individuals, not the group.
Despite such unusual visits, one Tiananmen Mother,
Xu Jue, said they face more severe pressure
in 2011. They are under police surveillance
day and night. Their personal freedom is restricted.
They still cannot publicly mourn their loved ones.
The open letter pointed out at the end,
that due to the Jasmine Revolutions' influence,
nervous authorities are tightening control of society,
resulting in serious human rights violations in China.
China faces its toughest times since Tiananmen.
The entire country has become silent.
On this grim background is where private dialogues
occur between police and victims' families.
Ding Zilin told the Hong Kong' media Ming Pao:
This is the usual CCP practice of probing.
It is still all for CCP's 'maintenance of stability'.
Tiananmen Massacre is their blood debt;
Tiananmen Mothers' voice makes them sleepless.
Ding demands legal channels to solve the issue.
She said they welcomed the authorities' contact.
The process must be more open with clear identity.
No black-box operations. No splitting up the group.
Don't think that money can buy everything.

All my phones are bugged. My emails get hacked regularly, says Lee Cheuk Yan, the democracy activist and Member of Parliament who established the museum. This invasive attention is hardly new for him though, as he was banned from China in 1989 for taking money to the democracy movement. Now the government keeps a close watch of Lee Cheuk Yan because of his involvement in Hong Kong's fight for democracy. He worries about the monetary incentives that drive businesses towards China, but away from the freedom of Hong Kong. Self-censorship arises very much from self-interest - say businessmen - they are all pro-China. This gradual strangling of the freedom that we have... it is really very worrying, he says. Students appear fearful of increasing censorship in Hong Kong, with the recent attack on newspaper editor Kevin Lau sending a shocking message. The Ming Pao Daily journalist, revered for his integrity, was brutally knifed by men waiting for him on a public street. I have heard young journalists from the newsroom saying that they're even terrified at the sight of a motorcycle, says politician Claudia Mo, herself a journalist for two decades. Yet there are determined campaigners who refuse to be silenced by such acts, bearing slogans in the street: They can't kill us all.

HONG KONG: MOURNING FOR DENG XIAOPING UPDATE
Mandarin/Cantonese/Nat
Thousands of Hong Kong citizens have been lining up to pay their respects to the late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping.
But, while many mourn his passing, human rights groups have branded his regime repressive.
Dissidents in Hong Kong, who fear for their persecution when the British colony reverts to Chinese rule, say Deng's death will not ease those concerns.
And causing a stir of controversy a Chinese language newspaper in the colony has published a picture of Deng, which they claim was taken only two months ago.
The floral tributes continue to pour into the Hong Kong offices of the official Chinese news agency, Xinhua, China's unofficial embassy in the colony.
And a memorial hall has been set up following the death of former Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping.
From early Friday morning locals queued for the chance to file through the hall and say a personal farewell to the man credited by many of them with reforming China's economy.
A fact illustrated by the large number of business people amongst the mourners.
A large portrait of Deng dominated the sombre scene inside the building which was surrounded by banks of flowers.
More than ten thousand mourners are expected to pass through this hall in the coming days - ahead of Tuesday's official funeral service for Deng.
Now Hong Kong residents are counting the days till Beijing takes over.
Whilst taking pride in their Hong Kong citizenship, many residents of this British colony do consider themselves fundamentally Chinese.
SOUNDBITE: (Cantonese)
I feel that being Chinese, especially Hong Kong Chinese is especially significant to mourn his death. I think that it is very disappointing that he will not be able to witness the handover to Chinese sovereignty later this year.
SUPER CAPTION: Ms. Wong, Mourner
In temples across Hong Kong - a steady stream of worshippers praying for the soul of the paramount leader have been paying their respects.
Burning incense is a traditional part of their prayers.
The Chinese leader has only been dead for a matter of days but already one newspaper has caused a stir in the colony.
The Apple Daily, a Chinese language newspaper, has caused controversy by publishing a photo of Deng Xiaoping that it claims was taken two months before his death.
News stands carried the paper which was selling well Thursday evening.
Jimmy Lai, Apple Daily's owner, has often been at odds with the Beijing government, who views him as anti-China.
And this latest revelation will no doubt do little to endear him to the Chinese government.
China forced Lai to sell his Giordano clothing store chain last year or face closure of its outlets on the mainland.
The newspaper said the picture was taken in a Beijing hospital in December.
It shows the 92-year-old Chinese leader through what appears to be a partially opened door.
The last previously known photo of Deng was an official portrait taken on the Chinese national day, October 1, 1994.
Despite tributes and messages of condolences from leaders across the globe, not everyone is mourning the passing of the Chinese leader.
Human rights groups have been quick to point out that Deng's record on civil liberties has lagged far behind his economic reforms.
Human Rights Watch Asia branded his regime repressive and say the Tiananmen Square massacre is also a big part of his legacy.
It was a sentiment shared by leading Hong Kong pro-democracy activists, Lee Chauk-Yan.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
He's of course the one that opened up China economically, but he also is the same one that is suppressing human rights in China.
SUPER CAPTION: Lee Chauk-Yan, Pro-democracy activist
Frank Lu is one such dissident.
SOUNDBITE: (Mandarin)

SUMMARY
=======
The Cultural Revolution, formally the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, was a sociopolitical movement in China from 1966 until 1976. Launched by Mao Zedong, then Chairman of the Communist Party of China (CPC), its stated goal was to preserve CPC-style Communism by purging remnants of capitalist and traditional elements from Chinese society, and to re-impose Mao Zedong Thought (known outside China simply as Maoism) as the dominant ideology within the Party. The Revolution marked Mao's return to a position of power after the failures of his Great Leap Forward. The movement paralyzed China politically and negatively affected both the economy and society of the country to a significant degree.
The movement was launched in May 1966, after Mao alleged that bourgeois elements had infiltrated the government and society at large, aiming to restore capitalism. To eliminate his rivals within the Communist Party of China, Mao insisted that revisionists be removed through violent class struggle. China's youth responded to Mao's appeal by forming Red Guard groups around the country. The movement spread into the military, urban workers, and the Communist Party leadership itself. It resulted in widespread factional struggles in all walks of life. In the top leadership, it led to a mass purge of senior officials, most notably Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping. During the same period, Mao's personality cult grew to immense proportions.
In the violent struggles that ensued across the country, millions of people were persecuted and suffered a wide range of abuses including public humiliation, arbitrary imprisonment, torture, hard labor, sustained harassment, seizure of property and sometimes execution. A large segment of the population was forcibly displaced, most notably the transfer of urban youth to rural regions during the Down to the Countryside Movement. Historical relics and artifacts were destroyed and cultural and religious sites were ransacked.
Mao officially declared the Cultural Revolution to have ended in 1969, but its active phase lasted until the death of military leader and proposed Mao successor Lin Biao in 1971. After Mao's death and the arrest of the Gang of Four in 1976, reformers led by Deng Xiaoping gradually began to dismantle the Maoist policies associated with the Cultural Revolution. In 1981, the Party declared that the Cultural Revolution was responsible for the most severe setback and the heaviest losses suffered by the Party, the country, and the people since the founding of the People's Republic.

Cry Freedom
The tension and terror that is present-day South Africa is powerfully portrayed in director Richard Attenborough's sweeping story of black activist Stephen Biko (Denzel Washington) and a liberal white newspaper editor who risks his own life to bring Biko's message to the world. After learning of apartheid's true horrors through Biko's eyes, editor Donald Woods (Kevin Kline) discovers that his friend has been silenced by the police. Determined not to let Biko's message go unheard, Woods undertakes a perilous quest to escape South Africa and bring Biko's remarkable tale of courage to the world. The riveting, true story offers a stirring account of man at his most evil and most heroic.

CCP Internal Regulatory Document Lists 13 Censored Topics

As the 18th National Congress approaches,
the Communist regime carries out frequent purging activities against the media.
For days, outspoken media in Guangdong and Shanghai
experienced sequential shocks from the authorities.
Among them, the Nanfang Daily Press Group received
regulatory documents listing 13 censored topics after submitting
up to 17 self-critique reports to the Central Propaganda
Department around June 4 (Tiananmen Movement memorial).
This stability maintenance initiative prior to the National
Congress further confirms the so-called political reform is only an empty promise of the Communist regime.
This May, Yang Jian, Vice Minister of the Propaganda
Department of Guangdong,became the first Party Secretary of the Nanfang Daily Press Group promoted from elsewhere.
Hong Kong's Ming Pao Daily News reported that
as the Party Secretary, Yang Jian quickly ordered review processes of three newspapers and two magazines under the Nanfang Daily Press Group.
The review process refers to the internal censorship
controlled by an appointed person. Prior to this, only two newspapers, the Southern Weekend
and Southern Metropolis Daily, were under regulation.
Guangdong political commentary writer, Zhu Jianguo:
The upcoming 18th National Congress and the increasing social conflict under the severely damaged economy in Guangdong have led to the escalated suppress of the media. The democracy and political reform previously preached
were therefore meaningless.
It is reported that the CCP internal confidential and regulatory
document usually in red headings was issued to the Nanfang Daily Press Group.
With 13 Censored Topics, this document officially
standardized the regulation formerly known as only verbal orders.
The 13 censored topics include the issues
that run against policies at any level,
that incite unlawful assembly, association, and procession,
that are related to pro-democracy movement and Falun Gong.
It is also alleged that censored topics are not limited to
the 13 focus points in the internal documents.
Jiao Guobiao, former associate professor of
School of Journalism, Peking University, believes that
the 13 censored topics are areas the CCP operate in black box.
The CCP would not allow any report and disclosure
by the media. They are also prohibited from public discussion and awareness.
Li Datong, former editor of the Freezing Point,
a weekly supplement of the China Youth Daily, indicates that
the Review process presents the CCP's intention to maintain
stability and serves no surprise to the journalists.
Li Datong, former editor in chief of Freezing Point: Tightened
control prior to the National Congress is nothing new.
None of these are allowed to be reported by any media
at any time.
Ming Pao Daily News also revealed that around June 4th
(the Tiananmen Massacre memorial), subsidiaries under
the Nanfang Daily Press Group submitted a total of
17 self-critique reports to Central Propaganda Department.
This high volume shocked the employees
of the Nanfang Daily Press Group.
Prior to this, the Southern People Weekly had
a special report based on an interview with
Burmese pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, and
a witness's oral history of the great famine of the 1960s.
Both reports were considered challenges to national policies.
The Nanfang Daily Press Group therefore specified
a specialist to review the content and clearly requested the Weekly not to give a handle to others.
For a whole week when the shocking Shifang protest occurred,
the outspoken Nanfang Daily Press Group
did not publish article about the Shifang incident.
It was alleged that a total of 8 articles were killed
during that time.
Jiao Guobiao shared his opinion of Nanfang's self-censorship
behavior by referencing the aiming the gun 1cm higher as dictated by your conscience that the judge told the Ingo Heinrich case
after the Berlin Wall was torn down.
Jiao Guobiao, Former Peking University School of Journalism
Associate Professor: The journalists also have their own rights of 1cm when dealing with the forum and topic.
This 1cm right is powerful enough to break down the
prohibition from the Central Propaganda Department.
Every journalist should fully operate his 1cm right.
In addition, on July 16, Guangzhou New Express Daily
closed a number of news pages due to its published articles
that touched the sensitive nerve of the authorities.
The editor-in-chief, Lu Fuming, was dismissed.
On 17 July, Lu Yan, president of the Shanghai Oriental
Morning Post was removed from the office, and Sun Jian, the deputy editor, was suspended.
