John Kamm to Speak on "How Tiananmen Changed China" on June 3 in San Francisco

On Wednesday, June 3, Executive Director John Kamm will give a speech entitled, “How Tiananmen Changed China,” at the Commonwealth Club of California in San Francisco. Kamm will speak exactly twenty years after the June Fourth crackdown at Tiananmen Square brought an end to pro-democracy demonstrations for which some participants are still imprisoned. He will examine how the Chinese government’s response to Tiananmen has affected how the government handles dissent and how it has shaped China’s relationship with the world. Kamm will also review his work and the efforts of The Dui Hua Foundation to help free June Fourth prisoners.

Beginning at 6 PM, this program is open to the public. To register, please visit the website of the Commonwealth Club or Asia Society of Northern California, who are co-sponsoring the event.
