sino soviet summit 1989

PEK03:PEKING;MAY15 Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev shakes hands with senior Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping in the Great hall of the People

May 16 was the peak of the Sino Soviet summit of 1989. It was all smiles inside the Great Hall of People but outside protesters had surrounded the building. The Eastern European  countries were all exposed to the protest as a result of the coverage and I'm sure this helped inspire the events of later that year.
