- Date: 1st May 1989
- Summary: Massive pro-democracy demonstrations in Peking's Tiananmen Square by students during May constituted perhaps the most serious challenge ever to the authority of the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Copyright laws covering the composition, arrangement and/or performance of music differ from country to country, and even from state to state within some countries. These range from limiting the law to specific circumstances - e.g. 'performances given by professionals to a paying audience' - to total coverage that encompasses everything from a professional performance to the most amateur rendition - e.g. 'spectators at sports events.' If in doubt we recommend that either the section containing 'Music' is deleted or that the sound level is turned down and covered with commentary. NOTE: Date is approximate. This clip may contain footage from multiple events; exact date or dates may be unknown.
