Ma Lik, the governor that mainland China appointed to Hong Kong, recently stated that the reports of the government massacre of demonstrators in Tiananmen Square in 1989 are "greatly exaggerated." This pissed off enough people in Hong Kong to spark the largest Tiananmen memorial rally in recent years. Last night, somewhere between 27,000 (police figures) and 55,000 (organizer figures) people gathered in Hong Kong's Victoria Park on the 18th anniversary of the event to commemorate the victims of Tiananmen Square.
