It’s hard to believe the Tiananmen Square massacre occurred 20 years ago. To be sure, 1989 was a landmark year — the Berlin Wall would fall six months later.

The New York Times’ Lens Blog has a great post with photojournalists recalling the protest. Check it out here.

Do you remember where you were?

I was in Houston for my great-grandmother’s birthday party. Mixed in with the celebration were moments of pause to watch the TV.

Nothing like some great hands at hearts sprinkled with world politics.

I was all of 11-years-old, but I remember thinking that China was about to change. That it wouldn’t end with Tiananmen.

Now it seems the only thing that has changed is China’s market share of the world economy. It’s still communist, even though it’s largest comrades have fallen.

The country owns more U.S. debt than any other, and it’s growth in exports is astounding.
