Overseas Hongkongers continue their annual commemoration of the June 4th Tiananmen Square massacre like the years before, with more and more mainlanders joining their ranks too. From 1990 to 2020, Hong Kong was able to hold large-scale candlelight vigils and rallies in public on June 4 every year. However, under the coercion of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) National Security Law, some Hong Kong people were forced to hold mourning activities in private.
On June 4, with the support of overseas Chinese, protests, vigils, and exhibitions were held in many cities around the world, including Australia, Japan, Taiwan, many European countries, the United States, and Canada.
