However, the newspaper has changed since it began increasing its coverage of mainland China. Following the Tiananmen Square protest of 1989, such coverage increased to two pages per day. While the paper still attempts to maintain an anti-communist stance, it has become increasingly sensitive to the tastes of its large Chinese immigrant readership which has grown since the 1990s with the expanded access to permanent resident green cards in the United States following the Tiananmen Square protest of 1989. Another reason for the shift was rooted in the newspaper's sympathy to the Chinese democracy movement.
