"the Tiananmen Square Massacre or the June 4 Massacre as troops with assault rifles and tanks inflicted thousands of casualties on unarmed civilians trying to block the military’s advance on Tiananmen Square in the heart of Beijing, which student demonstrators had occupied for seven weeks. Though diplomatic cables released by Wikileaks appear to confirm the Chinese authorities' longstanding position that no students were killed in the Square itself, the scale of military mobilization and the resulting bloodshed were unprecedented in the history of Beijing"
A tyrannical or communist govt makes and changes the laws whenever they want and/or see fit. In china murder is illegal on paper, but not in practice. You cannot compare US and China apples to apples (for obvious reasons). However, once you give up your freedom, comparisons with other communist nations become easier to make.

If murder is not legal in China, then how can the govt be permitted to murder thousands of their own people simply for staging a protest?? Wouldnt that be considered against the law? Do you think this is sound government? I sure do not because no matter what the laws says, this is Murder.
On the flip side, the President of the United States could never even think of doing something like this. Not only because it is written in our law, but because 'We The People' have the means to defend the law. Once 'We The People' give up that right then "They The Govt" have the means to oppress the people and carry out atrocious acts similar to those at Tiananmen Square.
