China is working to erase any reference to the Tiananmen Square anniversary.
Exactly 30 years have passed since China's government mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops across the country, which led to mowing down of pro-democracy protesters on Tiananmen Square in the center of Beijing.
A filmmaker named Deng Chuanbin was arrested last month after he tweeted a picture of a bottle with a label that had the number '64' written on it, a reference to the date of the massacre. Refinitiv, a financial data provider that is partially owned by Thomson Reuters, took down all of its Reuters stories that mentioned the massacre. Refinitiv said the stories, which will only be restricted for viewers in China, were removed in order to comply with its Chinese license.
