Report Alleges Beijing-linked Attacks on Protesters

A report by the Hong Kong Democracy Council and Students for a Free Tibet claims that activists protesting Chinese President Xi Jinping in San Francisco last year were harassed by Chinese Communist Party-linked groups. The report details 34 incidents of harassment and violence against Uyghur, Tibetan, and Hongkonger protesters and urges U.S. authorities to investigate. While the Chinese Embassy denies the allegations, asserting that pro-Xi supporters were peaceful, the report emphasizes China's influence on counter-protests. U.S. lawmakers are increasingly concerned about foreign repression on American soil and call for stronger legal measures.
