China must “sincerely repent” for the bloody crackdown of pro-democracy demonstrators on and around Tiananmen Square three decades ago and promote democratic reforms, Taiwan’s government said on Monday ahead of the sensitive anniversary. Chinese authorities ban any public commemoration of the event on the mainland and have never released a full death toll. “China has to sincerely repent for the June 4 incident and proactively push for democratic reforms,” Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council said in a statement.
