China will soon conclude trials of all dissidents arrested after the suppression of pro-democracy demonstrations in 1989, a government spokesman said in Beijing. His remarks confirmed widespread reports that Communist authorities planned to finally close the chapter on the bloody events of June 4, 1989.
