After the Tiananmen Square Massacre, China didn't change politically because they were too hardline on party dissent and public freedoms. However, there were still changes that were still happening. There were still the new rules about the population control, the tax benefits and the marriage laws. Also, the Special Economic Zones were still in place where new technologies and management practices were constantly being developed. Cheap labour was provided, which helped many of the Chinese, but also benefited the foreign companies that wanted to operate there.
