The US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met with leaders of the 1989 Tiananmen student movement, reports said Wednesday. While the meeting was listed on his agenda, Voice of America reported he had not publicly named the Tiananmen survivors he had met. In a tweet the same day, Pompeo noted that Hong Kong had banned this year's Tiananmen vigil for the first time in 30 years.
