The Tiananmen protests were “political turmoil that the central government needed to quell, which was the correct policy,” reports quoted him as saying. Defence minister, Wei Fenghe, made the comments after delivering his speech at the Shangri La Dialogue in Singapore earlier on Sunday. “Everybody is concerned about Tiananmen after 30 years,” reports quoted the Chinese defence minister saying. Due to this, China has enjoyed stability, and if you visit China you can understand that part of history,” said Wei Fenghe in Singapore. Subsequently, the protests spread with hundreds of thousands of students and citizens marching, and then camping, at Tiananmen Square.
