LI PENG ON WHAT HAPPENED ON "TIANANMEN"

LI PENG
ON
TIANANMEN

Former Prime Minister
LI PENG
in the Great Hall of the People
Beijing, December 2002

LI PENG SAYS IT WAS DENG
-- DENG XIAOPING --
(and not, presumably, the Butcher of Beijing)
WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CRACKDOWN
IN BEIJING ON JUNE 3-4, 1989
(surprise, surprise)

-- or so we are told --

Li Peng's (purported) JUNE 4 DIARY is due out later this month, and said to be on sale in Hong Kong already.

And bye-the-bye, a fascinating look at the LADDER OF SUCCESS in contemporary China, and some of the offspring of officials who have soared up it -- including one of Li Peng's -- can be found here.
