The U.S. government sent a strong message to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on Thursday with a barrage of messages commemorating the 37th anniversary of the infamous Tiananmen Square Massacre when government forces opened fire on student-led protesters.

“On June 4, the world marks 37 years since the Chinese Communist Party ordered its troops to attack thousands of peaceful demonstrators in and around Tiananmen Square. Chinese students, workers, and other civilians who lost their lives had gathered to exercise their natural rights and demand democratic reforms and accountability for corruption,” said Secretary of State Marco Rubio in a statement published by the U.S. Consulate General for Hong Kong.

“We remember their lives and honor their legacy. No amount of censorship can erase the past. Those who sacrificed to uphold their unalienable rights of free expression and peaceful assembly will be vindicated someday,” he added.

Discussions and commemorations of the massacre are heavily censored in China by a ruling Communist regime that would rather its citizens forget the sins of its past.

Despite that government crackdown, the U.S. Mission to China’s Chinese-language account posted a translation of Rubio’s message in a language Chinese citizens can read.

The U.S. Hong Kong consulate also memorialized the massacre by placing candles in its windows.

Reuters reported that this year’s anniversary saw a Chinese government crackdown in Hong Kong against those laying flowers and lighting candles in commemoration of the massacre.

We could have made a similar deal with Hitler in 1937 or 1938. He would’ve stomped on Japan and we had never had World War II.

Of course, there would be no Jews of the world, all of Europe would be under fascist rule, and all of Asia will be under Japanese rule, and the Japanese were actually worse than the Nazis.

Would we be better off?

Never would a “Democrat” Party appointed by , say, Biden or Harris allowed that to occur.
