30 years from Tiananmen

30 years from Tiananmen


1. What we have learned about this case?

When China transformed its economic system to the "socialistic marketing system", that means that the Chinese government has raised the economic level of the people in China, and that helps to keep society peaceful. And the large population of China would make it a good marketing area, would that cause a very embarrassing situation also in the western nations. If western nations would irritate the Chinese government, that would not allow making products in China.

The silence would tell that somebody shames that thing, what is embarrassing in the eyes of other nations because if the people don't stop to talk about Tiananmen, must western leaders follow the people, and transfer the production to some other countries.  The big economic value of China makes human rights and political system with Tienanmen case somehow difficult topic to talk. Because if the western governments would not respect China, they will not market their products to that area.

2. Violence was unnecessary

And otherwise, if the western nations would make trade contracts with China, that is interpreted as the acceptance of the political and human rights situation in China. But as we know, the good and clean facade helps people to forget things, what happened 30 years ago. There is a one really interesting thing about this case and its the violation against protesters were not necessary.

The weather in the summer in Beijing is really hot, and the protesters would not able to stay in their position in the extreme heat. The thing is that the reputation of the military in China gone, and also in other countries has been talking, that the military forces can be used against own people, and that was removed the shield of those organizations, that they could be used only against foreign enemies. Tiananmen was the case, what made Eastern block nations afraid their governments and caused the situation, where people forced to begin the uprising against the communist nations.

3. China would want the same position, what the Soviet Union had in the cold war era. 

Without hygienic abilities, those people would leave from the place, and after that, the police could arrest them without any attention of the foreign countries. The thing, what makes this case a little bit embarrassing is that it would disturb the trade between China and western nations. China needs co-operation with western companies, that it can get new technology for its military systems.

But there are more problems also in the internal politics of that country. When China released markets it dropped the bottom off from the ideological excuse for the one-party policy, what was argued with communism and Marxism-Leninism. But when the markets opened, the thing what remained was the dictatorship.

4. International law is not controlling the internal affairs of nations. 

The thing is that growing economic situation in China guarantees that the society in that country is peaceful and that releases resources for foreign affairs, like strengthen and modernization of the military forces, what are the really good equipment for strengthening own position in the international field of politics.

The problems with the relationship with western nations are that the rulers of China use those relationships as an argument that the western nations support the one party policy of China. And this kind of things is mentioned as the internal affairs of China. In international law is not mentioned about, what kind of political system is allowed in nations.

5. The foreign technology benefits the military forces of China

That means China has juridical right to be a one-party nation, and there is nothing, what would deny that thing. Tiananmen case is a purely internal affair of China, and that's why there is nothing wrong in that case. So the police acts are internal affairs, and if China would not justify those happenings, that is the own business of that nation.

One of the things is that China has grown the export and also opened new military bases including overseas bases tells that it really want to reach the position, what the Soviet Union had in the past world. And this would make it a stronger actor in the international arena, what people have ever thought. This is a very problematic thing in international politics because every nation has the legal right to defend itself and forward own benefit.
