1.5 million is way off. It's about 15% of the urban population of Beijing. Does Olympics really need that much land?
Maybe NGOs like to exaggerate situations to get attentions.
You Italy argument is not a good one because the Rome has faded centuries ago but China as a country with roughly its current territory has stood there for more than 2000 years. Tibet has been a part of China since 13 century even if the ruling by the Mongolians is not counted.
As far as I know army did the killing.
The author is not telling the truth but some hearsay. I am surprised that the rumor is so ridiculous. Anyone can check out the reality by google "64 tiananmen'
