 Intent on increasing support for the movement, Defend Tiananmen Square Headquarters established communication channels with media inside and outside of Beijing.Given the scale and context of the protests, foreign media was plentiful, allowing a series of press conferences to act as a main communication channel, examples of which can be found throughout the duration of the protest.May 27 saw Wang Dan, Wu’er Kaixi, and Chai Ling hold a conference announcing their intention to order a withdrawal from the square on May 30.
