Added to the light posts in Tianamen Square sometime after June 4, 1989, these surveillance cameras appear to the be the only permanent memorial to the events of that day.
The surveillance cameras in Tienanmen Square are watching everything. And I mean EVERYTHING.
Perhaps one of the oddest restrictions in Tiananmen: No "inflammable" objects are allowed.
Two weeks before the 20th anniversary, the uniformed security presence was both limited and casual.
Today, Tiananmen Square is occupied mostly by tired Chinese tourists.
Twenty years earlier, the "Goddess of Democracy" was erected by Chinese students on the spot now occupied by a cart selling warm Sprite.
