Li Ximing, 82, Beijing’s Communist Party boss during the bloody 1989 crackdown on pro-democracy protests, died Saturday in Beijing, Chinese state media reported Tuesday. Li had been a leading member of the group of conservative veteran cadres who supported the military assault on the student-led protests in Tiananmen Square on the night of June 3-4, 1989. Hundreds, possibly thousands, were killed.
