It is not a city that attracts many foreigners and, as a result, much of what happened there during the period of the Beijing students’ movement went unrecorded in the foreign press. Although initially slow to react, Shenyang students and citizens took to the streets in vast numbers and appeared to have the support, at least tacitly, of the city’s leaders.
