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."
