Australian senator Dio Wang defends Tiananmen crackdown as 'the right thing'


Australian Palmer United Party senator Dio Wang has come under fire for remarks he made defending the actions of the Chinese government at Tiananmen Square in 1989.
The comments were part of an interview published by the Australian Financial Review just two days after the 26th anniversary of the violent military crackdown on protestors in the square.
According to the Chinese-born senator, "the government did the right thing", and had the events not ensued the way they did, China “would have descended into hell”.
It's estimated that hundreds to thousands of people were killed when Chinese troops opened fire on unarmed civilians outside and within Tiananmen Square between June 3 and June 4, although no official death toll has been released.
