I also have another medal with the date of 1989.6 on the obverse. Does anyone know if ther was a seperate Tinanmen Square Medal for officers and enlisted men?

This medal is 2.875 in. long, 1.68 in. wide and is housed in a red cloth lined indented box with a clear plastic lid. The back of the box has a built in stand to support the box for viewing.

Fascinating, and yet ghoulish at the same time. Thanks for posting!

I wonder if they’ll issue a campaign medal for genocide of the Uighurs?  I am sure they decorated some politicians and some in the military for the assistance to the state for that. It would be interesting to read the commendations for those awards.
