TAIPEI, Taiwan — Hundreds of people gathered in Taipei on Sunday to commemorate the 34th anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen pro-democracy movement in China, which was crushed by the Chinese military.
Why it matters: The event, held at Liberty Square in front of a memorial to Taiwan's former dictator Chiang Kai-shek, marked a stark contrast between Taiwan's successful struggle for democracy and the loss of rights in Hong Kong. It also served as a grim reminder of what's at stake for the future of Taiwan.
Officials in India said on Sunday that an electronic signaling system failure likely caused Friday's deadly train crash in the eastern part of the country, AP reported.
The big picture: At least 275 people were killed in one of the country's deadliest railway accidents in more than two decades. The death toll was revised down from more than 280 after officials said Sunday that some bodies had been counted twice. Hundreds of others were injured.
