The student demonstrations of Dec 1986 were low key and confined to a few campuses, but had far reaching results, including the resignation of the CCP General-Secretary Hu Yaobang. This rocked the Chinese political system. Notes that the students thought they were doing what the CCP required them to do. Traces intellectual freedom in 1986, political conflict and leadership changes, the campaign against 'bourgeois liberalism' to consider future prospects. (PAS)
