The following post by Fang Jiaping (方家平), a well-known Chinese columnist, was deleted from Sina Weibo on October 8, 2012. The post is a simple remark about remembering Yuan Mu (袁木), the former State Council press spokesman who held the press conference on June 6, 1989, just two days after a brutal crackdown on student demonstrators [watch video HERE]. Yuan has since defended the Party’s actions on June 4, 1989, saying history has shown them to be correct. [More on deleted posts at the WeiboScope Search, by the Journalism and Media Studies Centre].
Former head of the research office of the State Council, Yuan Mu — already there are few left who remember him!
The post is accompanied by a picture of Yuan Mu:
Fang Jiaping’s original Chinese post reads:
前国务院研究室主任袁木——知道他的人已经不多了
