Even at the other side of the world, people will not forget.
Germany apologized for World War II. Canada apologized for the Chinese Head Tax.
When will our government have the courage to face the past and correct the injustice?

When will "change" arrive in China?
In less than 2 days it will be the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square incident.As a Chinese, it is very sad to see the government of China refuse to reveal the facts and try to silent the public from discussing about the incident.
Dr. Sun Yat-Sen once said "The revolution has not yet succeeded. Comrades, you must carry on!" He left these last few words moments before he passed away in the Rockefeller Hospital in Beijing on 1925. It is sad that after 84 years, this revolution has not yet succeeded. Majority of the Chinese people are still denied the rights proposed in Dr. Sun's "Three Principles of the People."
China's society only seem stable on the surface because of constant economic growth during the last two decades. No economy can expand forever. Chaos and instability can happen if China experience a serious economic decline or hardship. People will demonstrate their dissatisfaction and anger through violence because the current system offer no alternative for people to voice their opinion.
A real reform is needed on the Chinese government today. It is for the long term stability of China. The government needs to be able to accept criticisms from the people and improve. The current stability is just a mirage. Many people have dissatisfaction but are afraid to voice their opinion in the current system.
Revealing the facts and allowing the public to discuss the Tiananmen Square incidents would be a symbolic first step that real changes are happening within the Chinese government.
