Although many doubtful points were questioned by the public, the regime still classified it as "a violent terrorist attack". Since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ruled China, protests and major incidents often happened at Tiananmen. No matter large or small the regime always labeled it as a "riot" or "reactionary force". Although maintaining stability measures for Tiananmen constantly escalated, the protesters are still increasing, and the ways of protests are more fierce. The regime spends vast sums on maintaining stability that has become a stark irony. On Oct. 30, Beijing police announced investigation results for the incident that took place on Oct. 28. The police said the incident was "a violent terrorist attack carefully planned, organized and premeditated" by Uighurs. Police arrested five suspects connected to the incident. The incident spot was immediately blocked, several foreign journalists were temporary arrested on the site. The internet was strictly controlled; all related news censored. Although foreign media were very concerned about the incident, they lacked truthful information. Ge Lifang, US-based spokeswoman of China Alliance for Victims of Injustice: "Why is the information so censored? It certainly is something bad for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Because the CCP is so cruel, it has aroused every one's anger, from those who have been suppressed and persecuted. The CCP fears that greater incidents will happen, yet the Third Plenary Session opens soon." Global mainstream media generally believe that Tiananmen has become an important site for peoples' injustice to be heard. Although the CCP has spent huge sums on maintaining stability, implementing all means of safeguards, it still cannot guarantee the safety of Tiananmen. Different to other country landmarks, since the CCP ruled China from 1949 Tiananmen is covered by political atmosphere. The Tianamen Students Protest on June 4, 1989, to Falun Gong's peaceful protest on April 25, 1999, Over the past decade, petitioners repeatedly protested in Tiananmen, all of them were violently suppressed. Tiananmen Square became the CCP's most sensitive nerve. Not only are there no seats, trees or pagodas for tourists to rest, there are no public toilets. Instead plainclothes police are everywhere checking people and vehicles at any time. CCTV cameras are installed everywhere, Fences were put up. Maintaining stability has become a top priority of the regime. Ge Lifang: "The CCP's maintaining stability is like bouncing a ball, the more pressing down on it, the higher it jumps. The regime always postponed situations like this, never trying to solve the problem. Maintaining stability is useless, wasting China's resources." The 2013 Blue Book of Chinese Society issued by Chinese Academy of Social Sciences says the mass protests in Mainland China have increased from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands each year. Sun Liping, scholar of Tsinghua University says, the cost of maintaining stability in 2012 was 549 billion yuan. Mass protests exceeded 180,000. Financial Ministry's budgets shows, in 2012, 700 billion yuan was spent on "public security". However, petitioners' numbers have snow balled. Petitioners going to Beijing is increasing yearly. At peak times, several hundred were arrested near Tiananmen daily. The kinds of protests have become more and more intense. From unfolding banners, scattered fliers, naked runs, and setting off fireworks, to committing suicide. For example, petitioners from Wuhan, Inner Mongolian and Beijing jumped off Tiananmen building. Petitioners from Hunan and Shanxi set themselves on fire. Petitioners from Shandong, Shanghai and North-East jump to the river committed suicide. Tragedies are repeatedly happening at Tiananmen Square. Now foreign media call Tiananmen a "desperate stage". Activists say that for the long term, facing desperate petitioners' various ways of petitioning, the CCP constantly "improves" methods of maintaining stability to deal with them. Each intensified protest results in a worse suppression. The real problems that petitioners raised are not considered by the CCP. Can society be stablised by maintaining "stability?" 《神韵》2013世界巡演新亮点 http://www.ShenYunPerformingArts.org/
