Tiananmen Mao portrait vandalized

[Lux de Veritas]

The huge portrait of Communist China's founder Mao Zedong that looms over Tiananmen Square in Beijing is believed to have been vandalized with a black paint-like material, Kyodo News found Thursday even though security is tighter than usual as the country opened its parliament session a day before.

Police were seen swarming the scene around 11:30 a.m. while two men in a crane were cleaning off what appeared to be a blackish taint on the lower left part of the iconic portrait that hangs over the entrance to the Forbidden City.

The portrait of the late leader was quickly fixed and areas around the square returned to normal in the afternoon.

I just wonder how did that? There'r at least 7-8m high between ground and Mao portrait, and many police & armed police patrolling around Tiananmen.

They probably use ink gun to do this.

Take it easy guys, angry bird men did it.

How on earth can someone even get up there, more importantly wouldn't a paint gun be banned to be brought into Tiananmen square.

Someone hate the communism
Someone could break the tight security
or a black sheep in the security force

Do you know "people war" ?
iron fist is not the best solution for this as Tiananmen Square incident 1989.

One of the reason for recruiting 2.5 million of military personnel of China is keeping the internal security, 2.5 million vs 1.3 billion

The three men spent much of the past 20 years behind bars for marring the massive portrait at Tiananmen Square, and today say that the students who led that movement have failed to continue the struggle. .

About 1989 i saw many pics, so pls save ur pic. I think they did right in that time, West democracy is not fit for a developing country, when China step into a developed country then talk about democracy. Right now Chinese have found a correct way to develop China.

Now pls sell ur democracy into Vietnamese ppl.

Look how terrible PRC has been treating Mao. Dracula-ing dead body is entirely against Chinese tradition and it must be Deng Xiaoping evil plan to bring bad luck to Mao's descendants.

Below is Qin Shihuang's tomb. This is the right way to handle dead emperor.

Mao probably wants its body to be treated like Lenin does. Beside in the small chance that Mao gets "resurrected"
