Tiananmen Statue Being Removed - Dismas - 10-13-2021
The university's sculpture is set to be removed, likely to curry favor from the mainland. It's a remarkable statue, so it's a shame.
Quote:The Danish sculptor of a statue that commemorates pro-democracy protesters killed during China's Tiananmen Square crackdown in 1989 has accused a leading Hong Kong university of "mafia" style tactics over its order to have it removed.

Simply disgusting. No other words for it.

It's a pretty disturbing statue, but I think a worthwhile one. What an impressive thing. I hope it at least goes to a museum.

I don't see anything, what are you guys talking about?
In all seriousness though, with the political climate in Hong Kong and the touchy subject of the statue, Im surprised it even lasted this long. Hope it gets moved to a Taiwanese museum.

What do you mean? Nothing happened on June 5th, 1989!

One country, two systems is incontrovertibly a sham now and that should be apperceived.
