One lasting change in China's domestic policy since the Tiananmen Square incident in 1989 is the tightening of control over dissent and political opposition. The Chinese government has implemented strict censorship and surveillance measures to monitor and suppress any form of dissent, including online activism and independent media. This has resulted in a crackdown on human rights activists, journalists, and political dissidents, as well as restrictions on the freedom of speech and assembly. Additionally, the government has strengthened its control over civil society organizations and increased its efforts to promote patriotic education and ideological conformity among the population. Overall, the legacy of Tiananmen Square continues to shape China's domestic policy, with an emphasis on maintaining political stability and suppressing dissent.
