Zhao Ziyang - 18 Jan, 2005

The death in January 1976 of premier Zhou Enlai led to an outpouring of grief and protests on Tiananmen Square. The passing of reformist party chief Hu Yaobang in April 1989 triggered the demonstrations that the army massacre followed. The Central Government always concerns with the aftershocks of the pass away of the important leaders. The Hong Kong newspaper Oriental Daily placed the headline of the death a week before. This leaded to credible thought that the news is channeled by the Central Government to test the public sentiment of this news. Should he be died or in criticial condition at that time remained a puzzle.
