BEIJING June 4, 1989 — It was early Summer in the capital city. Tens of thousands of ordinary citizens, many with their entire families, squatted on vacant public buildings and land and set up a makeshift village, at the foot of the seat of power, and in the shadow of important monuments.\n\nThey demanded an audience with their government and the passage of certain legislation.  To the heads of government and the press, they were agitators with a political agenda that threatened to disrupt and endanger the nation.\n\nAfter their demands were rejected, the protesters did not leave their encampments.  The head of government, refusing to meet with them, called on the national army to disperse the crowds.  Soldiers charged with bayonets while tanks and tear gas chased crowds and leveled tents and shacks.  Fires burned the camps to the ground.\n\nIn the aftermath, scores were dead, including at least two infants suffocated in the gas attack.  The total number killed remains unknown. \n\nTiananmen Square has been the site of demonstrations peaceful and violent for at least 150 years. Protests in Tiananmen in the early 1900s led to the fall of the last Imperial Dynasty (Ching or Qing). \n \nThe square was also where Mao Zedong proclaimed to the world that "The Chinese people have stood up" and announced the formation of the People's Republic on October 1, 1949. \n\nTiananmen Square is the largest public square on earth. It can be seen from space and is nearly a mile square in size. \n \nSince 1989 it has become a magnet for China's disaffected who gather there, alone or in small groups, to protest and even commit suicide. \n \nThe square is surrounded by buildings and compounds that house the most important offices of China's government \n\nThe Tiananmen Square in the center of Beijing, is said to be the biggest square in the world. It is 880 meters from north to south, and 500 meters from east to west, with total area of 440,000 square meters and can hold one million people. The Tiananmen Gate Tower sites at the north, the Five-Star Red Flag flies high on the square, the Monument to the People's Heroes dominates the center, the Great Hall of the People and the Museum of the Chinese Revolution and the Museum of Chinese History to the east and west of it, as well as The Chairman Mao Memorial Hall and the Qianmen gate, sit in the south of the square. Over several hundred years, in front of the Tiananmen, many democracy meetings and demonstrations are held. Tens of thousands of people visit daily. The Square is listed top among Beijing's 16 scenic spots.\n \n \nThe Lions Before Tiananmen-- Facing Out\nAs the first gate of the Imperial City, the Tiananmen Gate was designed very grand and magnificent as befitted the supremacy of the emperor. Old Beijingers have deep feeling towards Tiananmen and there are quite a lot XIEHOUYU-- a kind of two-part allegorical sayings. THE LIONS BEFORE TIANANMEN-- SET FACING OUT uses the two huge stone lions standing at the end of the Jinshui (Golden Water) Bridge in front of Tiananmen Gate to describe two well-matched forces.\n\nHUABIAO and WANGJUNGUI and WANGJUNCHU\n\nA well-known architectural ornament in China is the huabiao, often seen on the grounds of palaces, imperial gardens and mausoleums. It is also seen at some crossroads to mark the throroughfares.\n\nThere is a pair of such ornamental pillars carved out of marble standing in front and behind Tian'anmen, the Gate of Heavenly Peace, at the centre of Beijing. Each pillar, entwined by a divine dragon engraved in relief, carried a plate on top called CHENGLUPAN for collecting dew£¬on which squats an animal called kong. This creature in Chinese mythology is supposed to be born of the dragon and good at keeping watch. It is generally referred to as the "stone lion." The four kong at Tian'anmen have different names, the two in front facing south and with their backs to the wall are called wangjungui

There are about 192 countries in the world (but obviously some countries are disputed, and parts of a country are breaking off etc.)\n\nThe largest country by area is Russia and the largest country by population is China.\n\nThe smallest country by area and population is the Vatican City (Holy See) a small country which is more like a city in the middle of Rome.  But none the less, it is an independent state.

The world population is the total number of humans alive on the planet Earth at a given time. According to estimates published by the United States Census Bureau,the Earth's population hit 6.5 billion on Saturday, February 25, 2006. In line with population projections, this figure continues to grow at rates that are unprecedented prior to the 20th century. Approximately one fifth of all humans that have existed in the last six thousand years are currently alive. By some estimates, there are now one billion (thousand million) young people in the world between the ages of 15 and 24.

India. It is a democracy and China is a dictatorship. Simple as that.

The economy and middle class are indeed growing at a fast pace in China, but the majority of Chinese still live the way they did 30 or 40 years ago.  I think the chinese government is trying to slowly convert the country into a capitalist - or at least a french-style socialist - society without making the mistakes Gorbachev made in USSR 15-20 years ago.  Time will tell if they succeed, though there are rumors of increasing discontent in the rural areas.  The same thing happened in the US in 1920s - right before the stock market crash of 1929 and the Great Depression.  Hopefully China will not suffer the same fate.
