Memory and mourning: China ten years after Tiananmen

Article Abstract:

The Chinese people appeared to be united as one in rising up against the injustice and unfairness of their political system in the spring of 1989. The incident in Tiananmen Square, Beijing, China, on June 4, 1989, was dismissed by the Chinese government as a counterrevolutionary rebellion. Yet the question is not whether, but when, the people will recreate the community that emerged during that fateful spring in China's history. An analysis is made of the events leading to the Tiananmen Square Massacre and the massacre itself.

China's defense industry invades the private industry

Article Abstract:

Of late the operations of China's defense industry have grown tremendously and have also undergone a change in terms of the goods it produces. This industry now manufactures and markets thousands of civilian goods. Civilian goods made up seventy percent of the production of defense industries in 1993, with projections of eighty percent in 1995. The increase in the production of civilian goods by defense industry indicates China's move towards the reduction of its military forces.

China's "Caribbean" in the South China Sea

Article Abstract:

Many leading strategists in Beijing view the South China Sea in the same way as Americans once viewed the Caribbean Sea, as a preserve where commercial and political imperatives demand naval power. Thus, adjusting the US strategy to deter and conciliate a more assertive China is a critical task for Washington.
