    people in China absolutely cannot freely discuss the Tiananmen incident. Not even people in Hong Kong. Once-annual commemorations about this incident in Hong Kong have been canceled for a few years due to pressure from the government. People who ever dare mention this date - 4 June 1989 - on (the Chinese, walled version of) the Internet risk having their account banned and getting police visits at their home. Even the Tiananmen square closed down “for maintenance” on 4 June.
