Mary, Well, Jiang was the guy who ordered the tanks into Tiennemen Square.

It was not Jiang, who at that time was mayor of Shanghai. It was Deng who sent the troups to Tiennemen Square.

I saw the newspaper yesterday that the Chinese Government just arrested several prominent dissidents. The economic condition in China is not as good as before. A lot factories (of course owned by the government) cannot pay medical bills for their workers (in China workers get medicare from its own employer). Unemployment rate is high.

Just for your reference.
