Hong Kong university REMOVES Tiananmen Square memorial called the 'Pillar of Shame' in the dead of night after pro-Beijing 'patriots' dominate elections

 FILE - In this June 5, 1989 file photo, a Chinese man stands alone to block a line of tanks heading east on Beijing's Changan Blvd. in Tiananmen Square. The man was calling for an end to the recent violence and bloodshed against pro-democracy demonstrators

 Had this picture on the wall in the kitchen when I lived in Can Tho.

The 26-foot tall Pillar of Shame depicts 50 bodies piled on top of each other


It was made by a Danish sculpture to symbolise those killed in the square in 1989


To this day, the true number of deaths in the bloody military crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Beijing's Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989 is unknown


The dismantling of the sculpture came days after pro-Beijing candidates scored a landslide victory in the Hong Kong legislative elections

    Did they hire Virginia democrats to teach them how to remove statues?

    Too bad Hong Kong had to go to the trash heap of China. The
    same with these U.S going to the trash heap of communism.
    At least they are or did fight back more then we did.
    How in the world did pro-Beijing candidates get the upper
    hand - by cheating!
