On June 4th, 1989, after several weeks of pro-democracy protests, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) put down the challenge to its power. Now, with Hong Kong, the CCP has set in motion a process for ending pro-democracy protests and challenges to its power. This time, however, the CCP has arranged for China's legislative body to validate it's forthcoming action by passing a "security law."
