On the 36th anniversary of the deadly attack on pro-democracy demonstrators in China’s Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989, jabs exchanged between Washington and Beijing highlight the continued disconnect between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Western democratic values.
In a statement Tuesday evening, which was Wednesday morning local time in China, Secretary of State Marco Rubio released a statement that said, «the world will never forget» the CCP’s brutal actions as it «actively tries to censor the facts.»
«Today we commemorate the bravery of the Chinese people who were killed as they tried to exercise their fundamental freedoms,» Rubio said. «Their courage in the face of certain danger reminds us that the principles of freedom, democracy, and self-rule are not just American principles. They are human principles the CCP cannot erase.»

But the Chinese foreign ministry on Wednesday clapped back at Rubio and accused him of «maliciously distort[ing]» historical facts.
Chinese spokesman Lin Jian said Rubio had «seriously interfered in China’s internal affairs,» and said Beijing had lodged a formal complaint with the U.S.

The 36th anniversary marks the day Chinese authorities deployed the People’s Liberation Army to stop a weeks-long student-led demonstration that called for greater political freedoms.

Tanks opened fire on unarmed crowds of pro-democracy demonstrators.
The extent of the massacre remains unknown, though hundreds were believed to have been killed, with some estimates ranging as high as 1,000 civilian deaths.
The CCP has since sought to cover up the crackdown by refusing to publicly acknowledge the tragedy, scrubbing online references and barring media coverage of the event.

The communist leadership has acknowledged the anniversary by routinely ramping up security at the square, as well as the entrance to Wan’an Cemetery, where some of the victims of the attack were laid to rest, reported AFP.
Images of security forces lining Tiananmen Square again surfaced on Wednesday, though the square stood relatively empty.

Democrat Mikie Sherrill wins NJ gubernatorial primary, setting up showdown with Trump-backed GOP winner

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
MORRISTOWN, N.J. — Rep. Mikie Sherrill won New Jersey’s Democrat gubernatorial primary on Tuesday night.
The Associated Press projects that Sherrill has won the primary, which tees up a competitive race against three-time gubernatorial candidate and former GOP state lawmaker Jack Ciattarelli to replace Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy, who is term-limited this year.
Sherill swept a crowded field of Democrat candidates, including Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop, New Jersey Education Association President Sean Spiller, former New Jersey Senate President Steve Sweeney and fellow U.S. Rep. Josh Gottheimer.
Democrat and Republican candidates often mentioned President Donald Trump’s name on the New Jersey campaign trail as Democrats positioned themselves as the most anti-Trump and Republicans vied to be the most pro-Trump candidate. It was Ciattarelli who landed the Trump endorsement as Democrats worked to contrast the president’s vision with their own.

New Jersey is one of just two governor’s races in 2025, along with Virginia. Both will be used by politicians and pundits to gauge how Americans are responding to Trump’s second term ahead of the midterm elections next year.
TRUMP FRONT-AND-CENTER IN REPUBLICAN PRIMARY FOR GOVERNOR AS EARLY VOTING KICKS OFF
As they campaigned for the coveted nomination, Democrat candidates walked a fine line between building on Murphy’s legacy and promising to change the status quo in Trenton. Like Murphy, Democrat candidates have rejected Trump’s executive orders, his crackdown on illegal immigration and the Department of Government Efficiency spending cuts.
Acting as the last line of defense to a sweeping Republican agenda, Democrat governors have often rejected Trump’s executive actions during his second term. By suing the Trump administration to unlock federal funds or refusing to comply with ICE deportations, Democrat governors, including many rumored to harbor 2028 presidential ambitions, are often leading the party’s resistance to Trump.

Trump once again took center stage on Tuesday as Sherrill and Gottheimer were peppered with questions by the press about the protests and riots unfolding in Los Angeles.
When asked how she would handle the ongoing situation in Los Angeles differently from Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sherrill touted her military and law enforcement background and told Fox News Digital she would stand up «strongly in favor of keeping people here in the state safe,» return safety to the streets and continue «speaking out against a president who is trying to create violence in the country.»
Sherrill is a Navy veteran and served in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New Jersey as an outreach and re-entry coordinator, which she described as prosecuting federal cases and advising law enforcement on investigations.

«Governor Newsom surged law enforcement in, and what Trump seems to be doing is trying to add fuel to the fire and really make the situation violent and bad,» Sherrill told reporters after casting her ballot in Montclair on Tuesday morning. «That’s completely unacceptable.»
Gottheimer said it was «outrageous» for Trump to send the National Guard to California without Newsom’s request.
«The fact that the president, for the first time since 1965, sent troops in from the National Guard without a request from the governor is outrageous. It’s just more chaos that we’re used to having in this administration. It’s not how I would approach this,» Gottheimer told Fox News Digital after voting in Tenafly.

Democrat candidates threw their support behind Baraka last month after he was arrested for trespassing at an ICE facility in Newark. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) called it a «beyond bizarre political stunt,» but Baraka has maintained that he did nothing wrong.
Last week, Baraka filed a lawsuit against Alina Habba, U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey, and DHS Agent Ricky Patel «for false arrest, malicious prosecution, and defamation.»
Trump outperformed in the Garden State in 2024, according to Fox News Voter Analysis.

While former Vice President Kamala Harris won New Jersey in 2024 as expected, Trump saw a nearly five-point improvement from his 2020 vote share, and Harris’ support dropped by about five points. He gained across New Jersey, with his largest swings in the northeast corner of the state; Hudson and Passaic counties led the pack.

Ciattarelli lost by a hair to Murphy in 2021 and framed his candidacy as a referendum on the Democrat policies that have driven New Jersey for the past eight years.

“Histórica decisión”: las repercusiones de la condena a Cristina Kirchner en los medios del mundo

La prensa internacional le dedicó un espacio preponderante a informar sobre el fallo de la Corte Suprema que confirmó la condena a seis años de prisión e inhabilitación perpetua para ejercer cargos públicos a la expresidenta Cristina Kirchner por defraudación al Estado.
El influyente diario The New York Times se hizo eco de la noticia con un texto titulado “Un titán político en Argentina es condenado a prisión” . Según afirmó, esta decisión bloquea el “planeado regreso político” de Cristina Kirchner.
El artículo, firmado por Daniel Politi, señaló que «Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, ex presidenta de Argentina y una de las figuras políticas más polarizantes del país, fue condenada este martes a prisión e inhabilitada de por vida para ejercer cargos públicos, luego de que la Corte Suprema confirmara su condena por corrupción».
“El fallo probablemente intensifique las tensiones políticas en el país y se conoce después de que Cristina Kirchner, quien fue blanco de un intento de asesinato hace tres años, anunciara sus planes de regresar a la política», afirmó.

El diario británico Financial Times escribió que “la inhabilitación de Kirchner, una de las líderes más divisivas e influyentes de la izquierda latinoamericana en las últimas dos décadas, transformará la política argentina. Como presidenta del partido peronista, era una posible rival del libertario Milei en las elecciones presidenciales de 2027, y las encuestas indicaban que conservaba el apoyo de aproximadamente el 30% del electorado”, indicó.
En Uruguay, el diario El País abrió su portal con el título “Histórica decisión: Corte Suprema confirmó la condena a Cristina Kirchner a prisión y no podrá ser candidata”. La nota opacó incluso al decisivo partido por eliminatorias al Mundial 2026 que enfrenta hoy el seleccionado celeste frente a Venezuela.

“La decisión confirmada hoy sacude a todo el sistema político. Cristina Kirchner es la primera expresidenta en tener una condena firme por corrupción», escribió el diario.

En Chile, el portal Emol abrió su portada con la noticia bajo el título “Suprema de Argentina confirma condena a Cristina Fernández de seis años de prisión: No podrá ser candidata”.
Además, remarcó que “los tres jueces que vieron el caso rechazaron el recurso de queja presentado por la defensa de la exmandataria, que buscaba de esta forma dilatar el proceso”.
Desde Brasil, el diario Folha se limitó a dar la noticia de manera informativa. “Supremo niega recurso de Cristina Kirchner y confirma condena de expresidente”, tituló.

El diario OGlobo recordó que “en los últimos meses hubo diversas especulaciones sobre un supuesto acuerdo entre (Javier) Kilei y Cristina para evitar la confirmación de la condena a la expresidenta. A razón de este supuesto acuerdo, que Milei y Cristina negaron, la expresidenta se transformaría en la principal rival del gobierno en las elecciones legislativas de este año”, escribió.
En Paraguay la noticia también acaparó los primeros planos de la prensa. El diario ABC Color tituló: “Corte Suprema de Justicia deja firma condena a prisión de Cristina Kirchner”.
“Tras esta decisión, adoptada por unanimidad por los tres jueces del Supremo, Fernández podría ser detenida en las próximas horas o días para cumplir la condena, que la expresidenta ha calificado como un caso de ‘lawfare’, es decir, persecución judicial y política”, expresó.

En España, El País de Madrid abrió su edición digital con la foto de la expresidenta bajo el título “La Corte Suprema argentina confirma la condena a seis años de cárcel contra Cristina Kirchner por corrupción”.
“La sentencia inhabilita de por vida a la expresidenta para ejercer cargos públicos. Kirchner será detenida”, prosiguió.

El diario La Razón de Madrid informó que “el Tribunal Supremo confirma la pena de prisión para la ex presidenta Cristina Fernández de Kirchner”.
En Italia, el diario La Repubblica dio la noticia como urgente en su portada. “Corte Suprema Argentina confirma la condena de la expresidenta a seis años de cárcel”, señaló.

En Colombia, el diario El Tiempo se limitó a informar sobre el caso. “Corte Suprema de Argentina toma decisión sobre Cristina Fernández de Kirchner: ratifican condena a 6 años de cárcel”, tituló. E informó que “Kirchner fue condenada en 2022 a prisión e inhabilitación política perpetua por un escándalo de corrupción”.
En Ecuador, el diario El Universo dijo que “la decisión de la Corte la excluye ahora de todo cargo electivo y obliga a la oposición a replantear su estrategia electoral de cara a las legislativas nacionales de medio término que se realizarán en octubre”.
