Running it locally, this is what I get with this prompt:

The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, also known as the June Fourth Incident or the Tiananmen Square Massacre, were a series of civil and political demonstrations that occurred in Beijing. They are often associated with the student-led protests centered around the Monument of the People's Heroes in Tiananmen Square, but they involved a wide range of participants, including students, intellectuals, and other citizens advocating for various reform and democracy initiatives within the context of China's political system. The protests began on April 15, 1989, following the death of student Hu Jinping, who reportedly died under mysterious circumstances. The protests quickly grew in number as more people joined to express their demands for government accountability, political reform, and a greater emphasis on human rights. Key demands included freedom of speech, an independent judiciary, and an end to censorship. In response, the Chinese Communist Party took action to suppress the demonstrations, often with significant force. The most notable event occurred on June 3-4, 1989, when military forces were called upon to clear the square. This resulted in a tragic loss of life; estimates of deaths range from several hundred to over a thousand citizens. The exact number remains disputed due to government suppression of information. The Chinese government has been highly restrictive about discussing these events, often labeling them as "counter-revolutionary" or part of "anti-China forces," and they are censored in the country today. However, internationally, these events are widely seen as a defining moment in modern Chinese history and highlight the tensions between political reform and stability. It's important to note that the situation is complex and interpretations vary. Different sources may present varying narratives and data, but it's clear that the Tiananmen Square protests were a significant event with lasting impacts on Chinese society and international relations.
