The United States should "immediately rectify its wrongdoings and stop interfering in China's internal affairs so as not to sabotage China-U.S. relations" and China has already reached a "clear conclusion" about the events of 1989 Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said.........

The U.S state department said China should end harassment of those who participated in the protests and fully account for those killed, detained, or missing." After initially tolerating the student-led demonstrations in the spring of 1989 centered on Beijing's Tiananmen Square, the Communist Party sent troops to crush the protests on the night of June 3-4, killing hundreds, according to rights groups. The topic remains taboo in China and the leadership has rejected all calls to overturn its verdict. Chinese President Xi Jinxing and U.S. President Barak Obama are due to meet in next week.
