Protesters of Xi’s policies push for change in earshot of White House visit with Trump
President Donald Trump gave Chinese leader Xi Jinping a personal airport welcome, a tour of his new helipad, and a candlelit dinner during Xi's state visit to Washington. However, protests against Xi were ongoing outside the White House. Protesters voiced demands for religious freedom in Tibet, greater autonomy in Hong Kong, and an end to the rule of Xi.
Some demonstrators carried Tibetan flags and chanted slogans like "Xi Jinping has got to go" and "Shame on Xi Jinping!" Despite the presence of pro-China demonstrators at a nearby hotel, the anti-Xi protests were more prominent.
