How did Chinese a government respond to the Tiananmen Square protest

The government warned protestors to leave threatening violence before declaring martial law in Beijing on May 20, 1949. Troops and tanks came in but couldn’t enter due to citizens and students blocking the way, and by June 3rd the government told the military to reclaim the square at all costs. They forcefully cleared the square killing hundreds and arresting thousands suspected. As an effect strict communists took more control of the government in hopes to stop more protests.
I hope this helps!!
