Chinese VP Faces Tibet Protests in California Visit

HeadlineFeb 17, 2012

Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping continues a visit to the United States with a visit to California. Xi, who is in line to assume the Chinese presidency in March 2013, came under protest on Thursday in Los Angeles, the final stop on his trip.

Pema Dhondup: “All Tibetans, from Northern and Southern California, have gathered together. There’s no specific person or individual. It’s all Tibetan community as a group. We want to have this voice be heard by all people in the world, and especially the Vice President when he’s here.”
