The "Tank man" was an icon for freedom in China.

In 1989, a group of large protesters marched into Tianamin in China. They wanted to protest communism in China. When the government had enough of the humiliation of the protestoers, they sent tanks to clear out the place.

The Tank man stood in front of the tank and prevented it from moving forward. When the tank tried to go around, he blocked it from that way. He was eventually ran over by the tank and that ended the chance for freedom in China.

Why did democracy fail in many new countries in Cold War?

If a new or neutral nation received a BETTER deal (weapons, construction aid, medical aid, technology aid, etc) from the Soviets or Red Chinese they took it. Sometimes a nation might want a certain type of missile. If the US wouldn't sell it or give it to them, and the Red Chinese/Soviets would, then they'd side with them.


What do you think the racial discrimination by Americans give toward the Chinese and Japanese?

This appears to be a homework question but I will give you my input. All racial discrimination and other forms of discrimination are despicable. Image someone snubbing you, excluding you, banning you or harming you merely because you are of another nationality, race or culture. You would be hurt and furious. We are all equal in the eyes of nature and God too. Excluding or holding a bias against any Asian (formerly known as Oriental) is bad policy and improper. I know how it feels to be discriminated against by virtue of being a woman, being handicapped and overweight and a Christian. It is not only hurtful it is unfair. (see the related link below)
