1989: Approximately 2,000 students begin a hunger strike in Tiananmen Square, China

The basic agenda of this strike was to occupy and block the square before Gorbachev’s arrival. Moreover, the students, in their manifesto, said, “We are doing this to protest the government’s indifference to the student demonstrations, to protest the government’s failure to enter into a dialogue with students, and to protest the government’s unfair characterization of the student democratic movement as “turmoil” and the further distortion of it in newspaper coverage. We request an immediate and equal dialogue of substance between the government and the students. This also led to an acknowledgment by the government of the legitimacy of the student democratic movement. Time of the hunger strike: Begins at 2:00 P.M., May 13, 1989. Place of the hunger strike: Tiananmen Square.”
