Question 2 • RVACR Reading Modern World History

Did the pro-democracy protests in Tiananmen Square in 1989 prompt political reform in China?

Answer
A
No. They prompted the government to censor the Internet.
B
Yes. They led to the start of voting in local elections.
C
No. They brought about no democratic changes.
D
Yes. They forced the government to allow opposition parties.

Explanation

The 1989 pro-democracy protests were suppressed by the Chinese government, and they did not lead to democratic political reforms. China did not begin allowing opposition parties or introduce the local elections described in the other choices. Internet censorship expanded later, but it was not the political reform prompted by the protests. The correct choice is “No. They brought about no democratic changes.”
