Security has been increased across Beijing and Hong Kong as China marks the 37th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown.
Authorities deployed heightened police presence in key locations across both cities, with increased monitoring and checkpoints reported in sensitive public areas.
In Beijing, security was visibly strengthened around Tiananmen Square and surrounding districts, with authorities maintaining tight control over access and public movement.
The anniversary remains one of the most politically sensitive dates on China’s calendar, with strict restrictions in place on public gatherings and commemorations.
In Hong Kong, where large-scale candlelight vigils were once held annually, security was also significantly reinforced as police monitored public spaces and potential gatherings.
Officials have stepped up surveillance and patrols, reflecting ongoing efforts to prevent organized commemorative events linked to the 1989 crackdown.
The date continues to draw international attention, with governments and human rights organizations calling for reflection on the events and their lasting impact.
Chinese authorities, however, maintain tight controls over discussion and public remembrance of the incident.
For now, both cities remain under heightened security as the anniversary passes under strict monitoring and restricted public activity.
