36th anniversary of June 4th: Never forget the truth about the massacre , overthrowing the CCP tyranny and defending world peace
,Chen Liqun, Chairman of the China Democratic Unity Alliance
June 4, 2025, marks the 36th anniversary of the Tiananmen Democratic Movement in Beijing, as well as the 36th anniversary of the CCP’s bloody repression of the people and crimes against humanity. On this solemn and painful day, we not only remember the countless young martyrs who sacrificed themselves for freedom and democracy, but must also clearly recognize that the CCP regime has completely lost any qualification to rehabilitate June 4th. It is not a hope for reform, but a disaster for the Chinese people and, above all, the greatest threat to the global peace order.
On that night thirty-six years ago, a tank ran over unarmed students, its gun aimed at its own people. This massacre that shocked the world not only destroyed a nation’s hope of moving toward constitutional democracy, but also marked the CCP’s complete abandonment of its commitment to reform and opening up. Since then, the CCP has resorted to lies, blockades, and brainwashing education, trying to make the people forget June 4th, but the truth is like a brand, deeply engraved in the collective memory of the nation and engraved in the hearts of every freedom seeker.
The China Democratic Solidarity Alliance (abbreviated as “China Democratic League” or “Democratic Alliance”) was founded by Dr. Wang Bingzhang in December 1983 and is one of the earliest Chinese democratic movement organizations established overseas. After the outbreak of the 1989 pro-democracy movement, the China Democratic League actively mobilized overseas Chinese communities, initiated solidarity, organized marches, and exposed CCP atrocities to the international community, playing an irreplaceable and important role in promoting global attention and support for the 1989 democracy movement. For decades, the China Democratic League has persistently commemorated June 4th, quietly dedicating itself and never retreating to pass on the truth and sustain the spirit of resistance. It is one of the most enduring symbols of the overseas Chinese democracy movement.
Today’s CCP has not only never repented, but has only become more reckless. It has carried out genocide in Xinjiang, destroyed the rule of law and freedom in Hong Kong, and built a nationwide digital totalitarian system. Even worse, it exports lies, censorship, infiltration, and espionage overseas, undermining the institutional foundations of global democratic societies. Creating tensions in the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait, abusing veto power at the United Nations, supporting Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and shielding authoritarian regimes such as Iran and North Korea. The CCP is not only the enemy of the Chinese people, but also the most dangerous enemy of world peace.
June Fourth is not just a wound for China; it is a touchstone for human conscience. A world that still harbors illusions about a killing regime is a dangerous world. A world that refuses to face history and continues to shake hands with the butcher will not prevent tragedies from repeating itself.
Therefore, commemorating June Fourth is not just to mourn the deceased, but also to continue the struggle. The struggle must not only take place in mainland China, but also continue in every corner of the world that loves freedom and respects human rights. Anyone who openly speaks of June 4th is a tear apart from the CCP’s system of lies; Every act of solidarity, every exposure, every refusal to collude with the CCP is a push for democracy and justice.
Today, we reiterate here:
Never forget June 4th, which is the most basic respect for the truth;
Overthrowing tyranny is the deepest comfort for the victims;
Striking down on the CCP is a shared responsibility of democratic countries worldwide to safeguard their own security;
To defend world peace, we must first eliminate the greatest threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party.
As long as June Fourth is not destroyed, the struggle will not cease. Democracy will ultimately prevail, and dictatorship will perish.
