Xi Jinping, the man likely to become the Chinese Communist Party’s next leader, is on a four day visit in the US. When Chinese Communist leaders go anywhere outside of the Mainland, they are often met with protests by those angry at the Chinese regime’s abuse of ethnic and religious groups. Xi arrived at the White House on Tuesday morning to a familiar scene.
[Ben Hedges, NTD News]:
“I’m here outside the White House with Jared Genser from Freedom Now. Thank you very much for being with us, Jared. Jared was the international attorney for Aung San Suu Kyi, and also serves as the international counsel for Gao Zhisheng and Liu Xiaobo. Jared, what are we seeing here today outside the White House with these protests?”
[Jared Genser, President, Freedom Now]:
“Sure, well this is a vibrant protest of Vice President Xi Jinping’s first trip to Washington as the heir apparent to Chinese President Hu Jintao. There are obviously a lot of concerns on human rights matters of a whole host of varieties.”
Many groups persecuted by the Chinese regime are in Washington protesting Xi and calling on President Obama to take a stand on human rights issues.
[Jared Genser, President, Freedom Now]:
“Well there are a range of human rights concerns, everything from the situation in Tibet, to a free Taiwan, to the Uyghur population, the persecution of religious minorities such as house church leaders and Falun Gong.”
Falun Gong practitioners are here in silent protest. Many tell horror stories of China’s forced labor system… among them, Ma Chunmei.
[Ma Chunmei, Jilin Province Falun Gong Practitioner]:
“I was persecuted at the Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp for over four years, twice for over four years in total. I was illegally arrested four times and I experienced a lot of torture, such as the dead person’s bed, being shocked with electric batons, being hung by handcuffs, being injected with unknown drugs, sleep depravation and being forced to divorce. I almost died from torture there.”
Jared Genser says he hopes President Obama will raise these human rights issues with Xi Jinping in his meetings, but says he is disappointed with the Obama administration’s efforts so far.
After Xi leaves Washington, he will travel to Iowa and then Los Angeles where he will conclude the visit.
