Taiwan vigil marks 37 years since Tiananmen Square crackdown

Watch live coverage of a candlelight vigil in Taipei, commemorating the 37th anniversary of the June 4, 1989 Tiananmen crackdown. Over seven weeks in 1989, student-led pro-democracy protests centered on Beijing’s Tiananmen Square became China’s greatest political upheaval since the end of the Cultural Revolution more than a decade earlier. Under then-leader Deng Xiaoping, the military was sent in to end the protest on the night of June 3-4. Using live ammunition, soldiers forced their way through crowds that tried to block them from reaching the square. Hundreds and possibly thousands of people were killed, including dozens of soldiers. #skynews #taiwan #live #breakingnews #taipei #tiananmensquare #1980s #1989 SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos:    / skynews   Follow us on Twitter:   / skynews   Like us on Facebook:   / skynews   Follow us on Instagram:   / skynews   Follow us on TikTok:   / skynews   For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-n...
