In December 1986, student unrest broke out successively in Hefei, Shanghai, and Beijing and spread to Guiyang. Hu Jintao neither supported the protests nor sent in troops and police to suppress them; instead, he personally met with student representatives, made concessions and promises in exchange for the students withdrawing from the streets, and made no arrests afterward.
