BBC has reported that the leader of China's Communist Party during the
1989 prodemocracy demonstrations in Tainanmen (sp?) Square has died. (I
won't even try to spell his name from the phonetic rendering given by
the BBC.) He openly supported the demonstrators and was canned for doing
so, just a day before the Chinese army blew them all away. He spent the
rest of his life-some 15 years-under house arrest. China has tried to
make the Chinese forget that he ever existed, although he was a major
architect of the economic reform process that led to China becoming an
economic powerhouse.
