Protesters against Chinese President Xi Jinping’s government rushed a delegation from Beijing as officials prepared to begin a pivotal round of trade talks with the U.S.
Several protesters jostled with security on Wednesday as members of the Chinese delegation left the Willard International hotel in Washington for a meeting with Trump administration officials. The protesters, who said they were from Shanghai, distributed documents accusing the government of forcing Chinese residents to relocate. A woman was knocked down in the scuffle, but no one appeared to be injured.
