IOTL that the eastern block fell and the PRC soldiered on is considered quite a surprising turn of events. Looking from 1989 it seemed that China was by far the most likely place to undergo a democratic (or at least anti-regime) revolution.

So...how could we get the 'Tiananmen Square' protests to lead to a change in China similar to those that we know from the USSR and Eastern Europe?
And what woul be the effects of this?
Things could potentially be...quite interesting. Especially considering the other communist regimes neighbouring China. Korea in particular would be a big question, especially come the famines.
