Inflatable ‘Tank Man’ in Taiwan marks Tiananmen protests 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy the Associated PressTAIPEI, Taiwan — An artist has erected an inflatable display in Taiwan’s capital to mark an iconic moment in the Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests. While public remembrances of the Tiananmen protests are strictly forbidden in mainland China, there are regular commemorations in democratically governed Taiwan and Hong Kong, China’s semi-autonomous southern region. Next Tuesday marks 30 years since the protests, led by students who were joined by individuals from all walks of life, calling for political reform. Mikel Zhang, a lawyer from Shanghai who visited the “Tank Man” installation Saturday morning, said that the students’ beliefs were different than those of the government.
