Abstract
On June 4th 1989, Deng Xiaoping and nine other members of the permanent Comity commanded the Prime Minister Li Peng to repress the occupation of Tiannenmen square by millions of students. Actually, this manifestation had started on the2nd of April by the students' reaction who wanted to pay homage to Hu Yaobang, fired in 1987 because of his liberal ideas. The death of this ex communist Party member in April of 1989 created a big emotion and provoked the meeting of more than 200 000 students in Tiannenmen Square. These young people wanted to defy the Power and applied for political reforms. Rededication of liberty and modern ideas' consideration led to the death of 1400 students. Some of them were also been imprisoned or condemned to death. This event occurred during the Gorbatchev' political reform in USSR: on May 16th, the representatives of china and USSR were meeting in Beijing. One can notice that the students' claim was then, also to catch the international communities' attention. Even if this manifestation was a massacre, one can hardly deny that it had the effect to wake the international interest up for the lack of democracy and human rights respect in china.
