Chinese authorities took preemptive measures months before the Tiananmen Square massacre anniversary to thwart activists who might try to observe the anniversary.

Police guard the entrance to a road along the east side of Tiananmen Square on June 4, the 30th anniversary of the protests in Beijing. At the square, police checked the identity cards of every visitor exiting nearby subway stations, in addition to the usual measures of control — metal detectors, surveillance cameras and security guards — already in place.

Independent filmmaker Deng Chuanbin was detained in Sichuan in May for tweeting a photo related to the massacre. Activist Hu Jia and others have been taken on forced"vacations" with assigned guards to prevent them from speaking to others. The events of June 4, 1989, have long been censored in Chinese education, media and on the internet. Searches for"Tiananmen Square protests" on Baidu, the Chinese alternative to Google, yield only state propaganda saying that authorities brought anti-socialist riots under control on this day 30 years ago.

On Saturday, Defense Minister Wei Fenghe said at a security forum in Singapore that China's response to the protests was validated by the country's current"stability."
