TAIPEI (Reuters) - China continues to cover up the truth about the bloody crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators in and around Beijing's Tiananmen Square 30 years ago, Taiwan's president said on Tuesday, ahead of vigils in the region to commemorate the event.
Chinese troops opened fire to end the student-led unrest, with the death toll ranging from several hundred to several thousand, according to witnesses and rights groups.
