Turns out I was wearing black today anyway, but to recognize the crackdown, which started today, folks are encourage to wear black shirts.
QuoteActivists in China are taking to social media to urge the public to wear black on the 24th anniversary of the bloody military crackdown on protesters who had camped out for weeks on Tiananmen Square.

How fortuitous then I happened to throw on a black shirt after getting home from work today. Remember Tiananmen Square!

Next?! The Chinese have been after the Secrets of the Groginati™ for years!
Anyone with the power to steer entire industries and make or break whole careers with a mere thought is an obvious target to the People's Liberation Army of Liberating People From The Same People That Have Been Revolutioning For 60 Years of Liberationizing.

Don't forget the Peoples Liberation Army Navy That's Got Land Troops At Sea But A 3000 Year Old Civilization Doesn't Have The Word "Marine" In It.
I just get a kick out of the fact that 60 years after they consolidated power in the country, they're still calling themselves the "revolution"
With the apparent desire to acquire more territory, should we now refer to the CPLA as the Imperial Party Army? I'm not even sure that Marx would recognise "Communism" in China as his original version. Territorial expansion, either via border intimidation or de facto via large scale industrial acquisition of foreign territory seems to have more in common with old school imperialism than socialist revolution.
