The Chinese authorities have made any discussion of the unrest in Tiananmen Square taboo<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
China has accused the US of “prejudice” after it urged Beijing to provide a full account of the crackdown on pro-democracy activists after the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei said the US should “stop interfering in China’s internal affairs”.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
The Chinese authorities had already reached a “clear conclusion” about the Tiananmen Square protests, he added.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Discussion of the crackdown, thought to have left hundreds dead, remains taboo.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Beijing considers the weeks of peaceful protest by students and workers to have been a “counter-revolutionary” revolt, and defends the decision to send in tanks and troops to end it on 3-4 June 1989. It has yet to provide an official death toll.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
On Friday, the US state department said the 24th anniversary of the “violent suppression of demonstrations in Tiananmen Square” prompted it to remember this “tragic loss of innocent lives”.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
“We renew our call for the Chinese government to end harassment of those who participated in the protests and fully account for those killed, detained or missing,” the statement added.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
“We renew our call for China to protect the universal human rights of all its citizens; release those who have been wrongfully detained, prosecuted, incarcerated, forcibly disappeared or placed under house arrest; and end the ongoing harassment of human rights activists and their families.”<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
On Saturday, Mr Hong warned Washington not to make “groundless accusations”.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
“We urge the US side to discard political prejudice, correctly treat China’s development, immediately rectify its wrongdoings and stop interfering in China’s internal affairs so as not to sabotage China-US relations,” he said in a statement carried by the Xinhua state news agency.<\/div>
