China Lipstick King sparks Tiananmen questions

China Lipstick King sparks Tiananmen questions




Generations of younger Chinese have grown up unaware of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. But an internet scandal has raised questions about a subject the Chinese government has long tried to suppress.

For people who play สล็อตรับวอลเลท with our web. You can choose Beth as you please. With no at least for slot games.

Li Jiaqi is one of China's biggest internet celebrities with over 64 million followers. The live-streamer is an online salesman hawking wares from skincare to baby products, jewellery and make-up. He once sold 15,000 lipsticks in a single session, earning the nickname Lipstick King.

Last Friday night, Li was mid-way through his popular livestream show when it ended abruptly.

The 30-year-old, known for his smooth voice and K-pop idol looks, had just shown his audience a vanilla log cake while selling snacks.

The cake resembled a tank: it had Oreos for wheels and a wafer pipe resembling a cannon. And Li's show was on 3 June, the eve of the 33rd anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre.

The date is commemorated by Chinese around the world with candlelit vigils. It evokes images of tanks lined up to enter Tiananmen Square, where the military fired at thousands of pro-democracy activists who had been protesting for months.

The most famous image is perhaps the one of so-called Tank Man, which shows a civilian with shopping bags standing in front of a queue of tanks, attempting to block them. He was pulled away and it's not known what happened to him - or even who he was.

There is also no way to know how many people died that day - the estimates range between hundreds to 3,000.
