Interestingly, many of the student leaders are listed as highly wanted fugitives by the PRC to this day. At least one (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu%27erkaixi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu%27erkaixi ) has tried to turn himself in for trial, multiple times, in places as diverse as Macau, HK, and various embassies throughout the world, but he's been refused each time and deported to definitely-part-of-China Taiwan.

Reminds me of the stories a coworker told me about growing up in Romania under Ceaușescu. A neighbor would disappear and a new family would be living in their house the next day. Nobody ever said anything. Just acted like they had always lived there.
