Chinese 'United Front' Accused of Coordinating Attacks on Xi Protesters in San Francisco

A report by Students for a Free Tibet (SFT) and the Hong Kong Democracy Council (HKDC) claims that assaults on Tibet and democracy activists during President Xi Jinping's visit to San Francisco for the APEC summit in November 2023 were organized by the Chinese Communist Party's United Front Work Department. The report highlights the involvement of several US-based groups with alleged ties to Beijing. It urges law enforcement to investigate these attacks and understand the tactics of CPC-linked organizations. The FBI has interviewed some victims, but a wider probe's status remains unclear.
