蓬佩奥国务卿在天安门抗议活动30周年纪念日发表声明
6月4日，我们向止于1989年6月4日的中国人民英勇的抗议运动致敬，当时中国共产党领导人派出坦克进入天安门广场，暴力镇压呼吁民主、人权及终止腐败横行的和平的抗议活动。汇集在北京及中国各地其他城市的千百万抗议者为寻求国家的美好前景遭受了巨大痛苦。死难者的人数至今不得而知。我们向仍在为失去亲人而悲痛的家庭深表痛惜，其中包括勇敢的天安门母亲们，她们甘冒巨大的个人风险，永不停息地追究责任。30年前发生的事件仍在触动我们的良知，以及全世界热爱自由的人民的良知。
在那以后的几十年里，美国曾希望中国融入国际体系能够带来一个更开放、更宽容的社会。但这些希望破灭了。中国的一党制不容忍异见，而且在任何符合其利益的时候都会践踏人权。今天，中国公民遭受着新一波侵权行径，特别是在新疆，共产党领导人在那里处心积虑地试图扼杀维吾尔文化并摧毁伊斯兰信仰，包括动用关押超过100万名穆斯林少数群体成员的手段。但即使在共产党建立一个强力监控的国家之时，普通的中国公民仍在继续寻求行使他们的人权、组织独立工会、通过法律体系追求正义，或者只是表达他们的观点，而许多人却因此遭受惩罚、监禁甚至酷刑折磨。
我们向30年前在天安门广场勇敢地挺身而出争取自身权利的中国人民的英雄们致敬。他们大无畏的榜样一直激励着后代在世界各地发出要求自由和民主的呼声，从柏林墙的倒塌以及随后几个月东欧共产主义的终结开始。
我们敦促中国政府完整、公开地说明遇难或失踪者的情况，以告慰这一黑暗的历史阶段的众多受害者。这样的步骤能开始显示出共产党尊重各项人权和基本自由的意愿。我们呼吁中国释放所有因争取行使这些权利和自由而被关押的人，停止使用任意羁押手段，并改变将恐怖主义与宗教和政治表达混为一谈的适得其反的政策。中国本国的宪法阐明了一切权力属于人民。历史表明，当政府响应本国公民的要求、尊重法治、维护人权和基本自由时，国家就会更加强大。

PRESS STATEMENT MICHAEL R. POMPEO, SECRETARY OF STATE
JUNE 3, 2019
WASHINGTON, DC
On June 4, we honor the heroic protest movement of the Chinese people that ended on June 4, 1989, when the Chinese Communist Party leadership sent tanks into Tiananmen Square to violently repress peaceful demonstrations calling for democracy, human rights, and an end to rampant corruption. The hundreds of thousands of protesters who gathered in Beijing and in other cities around China suffered grievously in pursuit of a better future for their country. The number of dead is still unknown. We express our deep sorrow to the families still grieving their lost loved ones, including the courageous Tiananmen Mothers, who have never stopped seeking accountability, despite great personal risk. The events of thirty years ago still stir our conscience, and the conscience of freedom-loving people around the world.
Over the decades that followed, the United States hoped that China’s integration into the international system would lead to a more open, tolerant society. Those hopes have been dashed. China’s one-party state tolerates no dissent and abuses human rights whenever it serves its interests. Today, Chinese citizens have been subjected to a new wave of abuses, especially in Xinjiang, where the Communist Party leadership is methodically attempting to strangle Uighur culture and stamp out the Islamic faith, including through the detention of more than one million members of Muslim minority groups. Even as the party builds a powerful surveillance state, ordinary Chinese citizens continue to seek to exercise their human rights, organize independent unions, pursue justice through the legal system, and simply express their views, for which many are punished, jailed, and even tortured.
We salute the heroes of the Chinese people who bravely stood up thirty years ago in Tiananmen Square to demand their rights. Their exemplary courage has served as an inspiration to future generations calling for freedom and democracy around the world, beginning with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of communism in Eastern Europe in the months that followed.
We urge the Chinese government to make a full, public accounting of those killed or missing to give comfort to the many victims of this dark chapter of history. Such a step would begin to demonstrate the Communist Party’s willingness to respect human rights and fundamental freedoms. We call on China to release all those held for seeking to exercise these rights and freedoms, halt the use of arbitrary detention, and reverse counterproductive policies that conflate terrorism with religious and political expression. China’s own constitution stipulates that all power belongs to the people. History has shown that nations are stronger when governments are responsive to their citizens, respect the rule of law, and uphold human rights and fundamental freedoms.
