BEIJING (Reuters) - Access to the popular social networking service Twitter and email service Hotmail was blocked across mainland China on Tuesday afternoon, two days before the 20th anniversary of the bloody Tiananmen Square crackdown.
Before dawn on June 4, 1989, tanks rolled into Tiananmen Square in the heart of Beijing to quell weeks of protest by students and workers. China has never issued a death toll from the crushing of what it calls a "counter-revolutionary" conspiracy.
