Prisoner of State, remembering Tiannemen

Former Secretary General of the Communist Party Zhao Ziyang died in house arrest in 2005. He was one of the few high ranking communist party officials who wanted a peaceful resolution to the Tiannemen Square uprising in the early 1990's. Unfortunately for him Deng Xoaping the Leader of the Government sided with the hardliners against Ziyang and the moderates. We have to be thankful that we live in a democracy and not in an evil dictatorship such as China. Its government is entirely arbitrary. Think about what happens to officials when they fall out of favor.
