Tiananmen movement lasted for 3 months and the city as in a state of total anarchy, but I agree that the government was in a poor state of preparedness when it comes to handling social riots and turbulence.You see color revolution as in Venezuela Maduro and Chavez, or Iran -- for many months... there are more people on streets yet the violence level by government is lower......
