As stated before, Deng Xiaoping's government reforms diminished authoritarianism compared to Mao Zedong, yet China remained a dictatorship, taking some authoritarian measures, such as the one-child law and repression of opponents, in which many of the opponents gathered in demonstrations in 1989, being repressed with an iron fist, this event known as the Tiananmen Square massacre.

This protest and later massacre, was a series of protests organized by opponents of the Chinese government in 1989, beginning after the death of Hu Yaobang, in which students paid tribute and discussed social problems in Tiananmen Square and demanded the Seven Demands, namely:
#''Affirm Hu Yaobang's views on democracy and freedom as correct.''
#''Admit that campaigns against spiritual pollution and bourgeois liberalization were wrong.''
#''Publish information on the income of state leaders and their families.''
#''Allow private newspapers and end press censorship.''
#''Increase funding for education and increase the remuneration of intellectuals.''
#''End restrictions on demonstrations in Beijing.''
#''Provide objective coverage of students in official media.''
The Chinese police tried to persuade the protesters to withdraw, but they ended up staying, making the police use brutality, in which the images circulated. Later the protesters began to go on hunger strike to gain government attention and that it would respond after plans to welcome Mikhail Gorbachev. The strike sparked sympathy and increased protests, reaching up to 1 million Beijing residents to demonstrate. Many of the protesters were students, workers, etc., even though there were some Maoists, the majority were motivated by freedom of expression, anti-corruption, democratic reforms, economic changes (varying according to the protesters) and opposition to nepotism. In the same year, Zhao Ziyang was removed from power due to disagreements with Deng and sympathy with the protesters. Later, Li Peng hastily passed the martial law, which mobilized military personnel, which, on the 1-3, Li Peng gave permission to "use any means", being understood by some military as a justification for lethality. Then there was repression, shooting and execution of several protesters, so much so that one of the most emblematic photos was the "Tank Man", in which it was a row of tanks being stopped with a man holding a bag. There were also protests outside Beijing, which were also violently repressed. After the violence, it ended up having an influence on politics in China, so much so that it is one of the most censored topics in China, in addition to being extremely cited by many opponents outside China.
