US Lawmakers Commemorate the 36th Anniversary of the June 4th Massacre and Call for Actions to Hold Accountable Human Rights Violations
June 5, 2025
-- reported by Michael Lipin, Voice of America
Capitol Hill — On the 36th anniversary of the June 4th Tiananmen Massacre, US lawmakers vowed to continue to remember the victims and called for actions to hold the Chinese government accountable for human rights violations.
Republican and Democratic members of the House Select Committee on the CCP held a press conference outside the US Capitol on Wednesday (June 4), strongly criticizing Beijing's poor human rights record and expressing support for Chinese democracy activist Wei Jingsheng and June 4th student movement leader Wang Dan. Both Wei Jingsheng and Wang Dan attended the press conference and recalled their experiences during the 1989 Tiananmen democracy movement.
On June 4, 1989, Chinese troops entered Beijing's Tiananmen Square to clear the area, suppressing weeks of peaceful protests by students and workers with force. At that time, protesters were demanding that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) promote democratic reforms and end authoritarian rule.
Western media, citing human rights groups and witnesses, said hundreds or even thousands of people were killed in the crackdown. Chinese officials have never released a death toll.
John Moolenaar, a Republican congressman from Michigan and chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, called on the mayor of Washington DC to end the sister city relationship with Beijing, saying that the move was symbolic but extremely important, reflecting a position of rejecting the propaganda of the Chinese Communist Party and supporting the Chinese people rather than the oppressors.
The office of Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser has not yet commented on this proposal. Moolenaar told VOA that he had written to Bowser on Wednesday to formally make this request.
Washington and Beijing have had a sister city relationship since 1984 and have renewed it multiple times, most recently in 2012.
At the Capitol Hill gathering, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois, the committee's top Democrat, said: "Today, China's means of suppressing dissent may have changed -- cameras instead of batons, algorithms instead of violence - but the CCP's goal has never changed: to suppress dissent, stifle dreams, and deprive people of their basic dignity."
In an interview with VOA after the press conference, Moolenaar also said he hopes the Trump administration will do more to enforce regulations targeting American companies that profit from forced labor in China.
"We have identified supply chains associated with forced labor and have issued warnings to American companies, encouraging them to seek alternative sources of procurement," Moolenaar said. "We want to ensure that the U.S. supply chain is not controlled by the Chinese Communist Party and does not cooperate with China's military-industrial complex."

美国会议员纪念"六四"36周年，呼吁采取行动追责人权侵害
2025年6月5日
-- 美国之音利平报道
国会山 —
在"六四"天安门事件36周年之际，美国国会议员誓言将继续铭记遇难者，并呼吁采取行动追究中国政府侵犯人权的责任。
美国国会众议院中共问题特设委员会的共和与民主两党议员星期三(6月4日)在国会大厦外举行新闻发布会，强烈批评北京糟糕的人权纪录，并表达对中国民主活动家魏京生和"六四"学运领袖王丹的支持。魏京生和王丹都出席了此次集会，并回忆了他们参与1989年天安门民主运动的经历。
1989年6月4日，中国军队进入北京天安门广场清场，武力镇压了由学生与工人发起、持续数周的和平抗议运动。抗议者当时要求中国共产党推动民主改革，结束专制统治。
西方媒体援引人权组织与目击者称，镇压行动中有数百甚至数以千计的人遇难。中国官方从未公布死亡人数。
美国众议院中共问题特设委员会主席、来自密歇根州的共和党众议员约翰•穆勒纳尔(John Moolenaar)呼吁华盛顿市长终止与北京市的姐妹城市关系，称此举虽具象征意义，但极为重要，体现了拒绝中共宣传、支持中国人民而非压迫者的立场。
华盛顿市长穆丽尔•鲍泽(Muriel Bowser)的办公室尚未就此置评。穆勒纳尔对美国之音表示，他已于星期三致信鲍泽，正式提出这一请求。
自1984年以来，华盛顿与北京一直保持姐妹城市关系，并多次延续这一关系，最近一次是在 2012 年。
在这场位于国会山的集会上，该委员会的民主党首席成员、来自伊利诺伊州的众议员拉贾•克里希纳莫蒂(Raja Krishnamoorthi)说："今天，中国镇压异见的手段可能变了——用摄像头代替警棍，用算法代替暴力——但中共的目标从未改变：压制异议，扼杀梦想，剥夺人民基本的尊严。"
穆勒纳尔在新闻发布会后接受美国之音采访时还表示，他希望特朗普政府采取更多措施，执行针对美国企业从中国强迫劳动中获利的相关法规。
"我们已经识别出与强迫劳动相关的供应链，并向美国企业发出警示，鼓励他们另寻采购来源，"穆勒纳尔说，"我们要确保美国的供应链不受中共操控，也不与中国的军工复合体合作。"
