Manoj Kewalramani quoted in StratNewsGlobal

Manoj Kewalramani, chair of Indo-Pacific Studies and a fellow at Takshashila Institution, was quoted in Tiananmen Square Killings Matter Little For China’s Youth.

He was mentioned to believe “that the striking feature among Chinese youth today, is the absence of any political activism. The massacre appears to hold greater salience for the Chinese diaspora abroad rather than those on the mainland.”

He was quoted as saying: “Political reform is not something which is animating young people, witness the protests in Hong Kong that died out. Again because of government propaganda and deliberate efforts to erase it from public memory, many don’t know how substantial and serious it was. For most students, it was a disturbance that was put down and they think nothing further.”
