The Tiananmen Square incident of June 1989 was a student led demonstration.
The Chinese government used military force, including tanks, against the unarmed civilian protesters, killing many. Exactly how many may never be known.
It should be noted that arson and looting took place by criminals under the guise of protesters.

There is a truly iconic photograph of one man with his shopping bags standing in the way of the advancing tanks.
