On June 4, the world marks 37 years since the Chinese Communist Party ordered its troops to attack thousands of peaceful demonstrators in and around Tiananmen Square.

Chinese students, workers, and other civilians who lost their lives had gathered to exercise their natural rights and demand democratic reforms and accountability for corruption.

We remember their lives and honor their legacy. No amount of censorship can erase the past. Those who sacrificed to uphold their unalienable rights of free expression and peaceful assembly will be vindicated someday.

The IAEA has been informed by the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) that the nearby Zaporizhzhya Thermal Power Plant (ZTPP) — whose switchyard helps deliver electricity to the ZNPP — has been under heavy attack this morning.

The IAEA team at the ZNPP saw light smoke coming from the direction of the ZTPP and heard the sound of military activity.

For now, the power line is still connected. ZTPP staff are currently sheltering due to the attack, according to the information.

The Chinese government drew a clear conclusion long ago on the political disturbance that took place towards the end of the 1980s.

The path of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the choice of history and of the people. It has the wholehearted support of all Chinese and is fully recognized by the international community. We will stick to this path and pursue national rejuvenation through Chinese modernization.

No country or force in the world can stop the Chinese people from folding ahead. The U.S.'s erroneous remarks constitute a distortion of historical facts, vilification of China's political system and development path, and interference in China's internal affairs. China strongly deplores and firmly opposes it.

We urge the U.S. side to act on the commitment of respecting China and Chinese people, stop inciting ideological confrontation, and stop interfering in China's internal affairs under the pretext of democracy and human rights.
