Li Peng: former Chinese premier known as ‘Butcher of Beijing’ dies aged 90
Politician known abroad for his role in crushing 1989 Tiananmen Square protests
The former Chinese premier Li Peng, reviled by rights activists and many in the Chinese capital as the “Butcher of Beijing” for his role in the crackdown on the Tiananmen Square protests, has died, according to state media.
Li, who was 90, died on Monday in Beijing, Xinhua reported, more than three decades after his government authorised a bloody suppression of student-led pro-democracy protests in the early hours of 4 June 1989.
