San Francisco (AFP) – Demonstrators gather in San Francisco, California, to protest the visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) leaders’ week. “Today’s protest is really an act of cross movement solidarity. It’s joined by Hong Kongers, Tibetans, Uyghurs, Chinese dissidents, because over the years we have learned we have one common goal we’re fighting for, which is democracy and freedom,” says protester Anna Kwok.
