New in IGCS - History: Tiananmen Square, 1989. The Declassified History (=
National Security Archive Electronic Briefing Book No. 16)

Ed./Corp.: Jeffrey T. Richelson and Michael L. Evans, National Security
Archive, The George Washington University, Washington DC, USA
URL: http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB16/index.html
Language: English.
Resource type: Documents.

Self description: "The Chinese army crackdown in and around Tiananmen
Square on June 4, 1989 had an enormous effect on the course of U.S.-China
relations. The deaths of democracy protesters resulted in U.S. sanctions,
suspensions of high-level contacts, and a halt in the transfer of military
technology. The controversy continues to this day, as demonstrated by the
reaction of many concerning President Clinton's decision to appear in the
square with Chinese leaders during his June 1998 trip to China."

Description: In addition to the documents themselves an introductory page
explains the framework in which they have to be understood, and gives a
short introduction to each document.

Site contents: (1) Documents 1-6: Student Demonstrations in 1985-86; (2)
Documents 7-11: On the Brink; (3) Documents 12-29: The Crackdown; (4)
Documents 30-35: The Aftermath; (5) Postscript 1999: Ten Years after
Tiananmen.
