Adopting double standards

While it is right and just that China should be angered by the bombing of its embassy in Belgrade, and the Chinese people should demonstrate their indignation, I find it curious that similar sentiments are not applied to or allowed by the killings on June 4 1989.

Do killings by foreigners deserve more damnation than killings by one's own government? China is demanding apologies and reparations from Nato and the US as a result of the bombing.

When will China apologise and make reparations to those killed by Chinese on June 4? A nation cannot take the moral high ground in one instance and not in another, that would be hypocritical.
