  • Summary

    Police killings of hundreds of Tibetans and the imposition of martial law in Lhasa in March 1989 was a precursor to the Beijing massacre of June 1989, but few Han people saw it that way. Han supremacy and antiblack racism (which had erupted in anti-African protests in Nanjing in December 1988) and protests by Muslims in May 1989 reveal the Han-centric, male-dominated, city-based bias of most histories of China's democracy movement. But Non-Han protesters did see potential for genuine change during 1989.
