LETTERS, Page 6CHINA IN TURMOIL
The Beijing Spring is a watershed for global democracy (WORLD,
May 29). Marxist-Leninists the world over are learning a great
lesson from the courageous students of China on what a real
revolution must always be about: liberty.
Robert Miltenberg
San Diego
I support the protest movement in China, but I wonder if it is
reasonable for the students to demand immediate change in
government policy. Also, is it necessary to destabilize the
leadership, which has shown moderation and provided significant
socioeconomic liberation?
Nan Lui
Chestnut Ridge, N.Y.
I read your report with tears, pride and admiration. Those
daring students, workers and ordinary citizens in Tiananmen Square
have sent the authoritarian regime a clear message: the days of
tyranny are numbered.
Benjamin H. Yuen
Darien, Ill.
The demonstrators reflect the restlessness of an ancient nation
struggling to regain its past grandeur and world status. The
students are China's conscience, and the leaders must listen. But
completely adopting the democratic systems of the industrialized
West is unwise for a developing society with a billion people.
Mary Young Siu-Tin
Quezon City, the Philippines
