Hello, viewers and friends, hello everyone, welcome to today's live broadcast of "China-US Benchmarking", I am Qi Xiaotian. Today we are mainly looking at the welcome ceremony held by Trump and Xi Jinping. Today we also have a correspondent on-site who can do a live broadcast for us, and what he mainly focuses on is whether there are any interactions between the groups supporting the the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and opposing the the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Without further ado, since Trump has just started, let's take a look at this welcome ceremony. Viewers and friends, if you think the volume needs any adjustment, please write to us in the comment section.

It's welcoming the President and the First Lady. Let's turn up the volume for everyone. Alright, this is Xi Jinping, that is General Secretary Xi. The two sides shake hands. Trump has changed a translator here, I don't know if anyone noticed. Let's take a group photo together.

So everyone look at this height, because over the past few years Xi Jinping's height has been changing, from being much shorter than Trump, to now being about the same height as Trump. This time at least we can see that Trump is still a little bit taller than him, obviously not having the height difference of the past few years. Wow, no way. That part just now was OK.

Alright, then at least we can see the difference in height just now. If my memory serves me right today, Trump should have another welcome later on. Originally, this welcome ceremony would include a welcome by the US military honor guard and a performance by the US band. Then it should actually play the national anthem of China and the national anthem of the United States, followed by speeches by Trump and Xi Jinping. As a result, just now we saw only the US military honor guard welcoming and the band welcoming, but actually the national anthem of China and the national anthem of the United States were not played. The speeches by Trump and Xi Jinping should also happen later.

Today later there will be a formal military review attended by Trump and Xi Jinping together near the South Lawn of the White House and the Rose Garden. It is expected that a total of 479 US military personnel will participate, including the Old Guard of the three branches of the US military, as well as some traditional bands, the US Navy Silent Drill Team, and the US Marine Corps Drum and Bugle Corps. Finally, we will see some US military fighter jets, including what should be a B-2 Spirit stealth strategic bomber and four F-22 Raptor stealth fighters flying over the White House. This Raptor should be executing, should be a fighter jet for a mission in mid-May. Friends who know this military information can type a message for us.

Alright, then Trump and Xi Jinping will also watch the above rehearsals together. This afternoon there will also be some negotiations, including some important negotiations on trade. Yesterday we already heard that the most important things are actually on the US side, rare earths and Iran; on the Chinese side, the most important should be the Taiwan issue. But in fact, I see that China may not get too many concessions from the US on Taiwan, but that's fine, let's see what other things can be negotiated in the end. At least I think it is possible that US arms sales to Taiwan will be reduced a bit, but we should be able to see some results of this today.

This evening, there should be some kind of event held at a museum, or perhaps in the afternoon. Tonight, at the North Portico of the White House, Xi Jinping and Peng Liyuan will be officially welcomed to the White House by Trump and Melania. There will be a banquet this occasion. Whether this banquet will be live-streamed is currently unclear. However, when the domestic meeting begins, both Trump and Xi Jinping will deliver speeches.

Alright, so I just received some information. It looks like Yaojiang is preparing on the scene, and it might still take a few minutes before he calls in. So we will chat with everyone for a little while longer, and then take a look at some on-site videos that Yaojiang actually sent out this morning. Let me show you this video first, and then we can get ready to connect with Yaojiang.

This is the scene. These are some preparations by individuals supporting the Communist Party, and these preparations must have been made very, very early. What time did you guys come here to welcome them today? No, I've been standing here since this morning. How many hours have you guys been standing here? Standing here since 6 AM. Will the motorcade pass through here later? But I see the people in front have all withdrawn. Look, the people in front of you have all withdrawn, so it's not certain. Everyone is moving around, right? Then you should walk that way. Are you disappointed? No, not at all. You guys must have also come from far away, drove here yourselves? Drove here ourselves. Where did you drive from? Is that okay? No, no. Alright, this is the first video. So it seems these people are still quite enthusiastic. Let's look at more videos filmed by Yaojiang.

Alright, let me show you more footage to everyone. The five-star red flag and the American flag are fluttering clearly in the wind. Who knows when he will pass through here? Drums and gongs are deafening, banners facing the morning sun. This should have been filmed by Yaojiang around 6 or past 6 AM; it should be the first video. How exciting. And then—you can express this yourself, whatever. It's fine, it's fine, really good. Alright, it's fine, it's fine.

Alright, it looks like the person Yaojiang just interviewed didn't want to say a few words. Look at the anti-communist crowds yesterday; they were very animated, sharing their own news and stories. Wow, there really are a lot of supporters gathered here. Now, at a must-pass route, more citizens, Chinese citizens, have gathered here. Isn't it very joyful? They are really all wearing pink hats. Isn't this just like that group of little friends? These must be supporters; the supporters have already gathered here. More children are walking over there; they just got off a big tour bus. These people are very young. Indeed, everyone look at this hat; they are indeed wearing pink, or at least you could say it's pink. Do you guys think this counts as a top-tier black-fan trolling move? Because this hat could be red, yellow, or national-flag colors, but they deliberately chose pink. Is there any print of the 'Little Pink' label on it?

Wow, a huge five-star red flag, this five-star red flag is fluttering in DC. But over here, excuse me, where did you guys get such a huge flag? It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Just now, the person in front was quite obviously an organizer, and I don't know if everyone heard, another voice came out nearby saying don't listen to him. It seems the scene here is supposed to be a scene supporting Chairman Xi, but there still seem to be some dissenting voices, different voices. Let's listen again. It doesn't matter, and it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, don't listen to him. So I wonder if the audience and friends among the crowd know which organization this team belongs to. Indeed, just like this Yaojiang, the scale of this setup is so huge—where did it come from? Everyone can guess. We should have one last video filmed by Yaojiang this morning. Over here, there is also a television reporter standing on a small stool. Alright, those should be the videos filmed by Yaojiang this morning.

But no problem, because we just received information that Yaojiang should be able to connect with us now, to do a live broadcast from the scene. We probably can't interact too much with each other because there is a lot of noise on his end, but let's take a look at some of the scenes he has captured.

Hello, Yaojiang, how are you? Hello, hello, can you see me? I can see you, the audio is great. Alright, because I am currently probably not at the most important intersection, due to their mobile operation style, I can't figure out where President Xi's must-pass location is. But I feel that the entire DC today is enveloped in a red ocean. Because since I stepped out this morning, there is basically a guard every five steps and a post every ten steps, and I can see many welcoming crowds stationed at different intersections. For example, right behind me there is an intersection, and across the street, there is similarly another welcoming crowd. They are mainly stationed here—actually, everyone is not quite sure which intersection President Xi will eventually pass through, so just to be safe, I think they are adopting a human-sea tactic, meaning there is a welcoming crowd at every single intersection. They themselves will also be mobile, meaning at any moment they might hear a call from the organizers, for example, needing to go to a certain intersection, and they will immediately organize everyone to head to another place together.

Now I can show everyone, because I cannot stay in the middle of the road, I can show everyone the strange sight of the United States. Okay, look right here, OK. Because what you are seeing now is still car number 5. OK, turning around, OK. You can see that basically this road surface is blocked, so I actually really want to stand in the middle of the road, that way it's not as crowded. You can see in the distance, that should be the place where a motorcade would pass, if there is one. And we are actually very far away from it, because in the furthest distance you can already see that they have started blocking the street. And we are basically still separated by a block, and then comes the welcoming crowd.

Actually, I doubt that even if General Secretary Xi were to pass through here, he probably wouldn't be able to see anyone, but still, this cannot suppress the welcoming mood, the excited mood. Do you see the slogans along the way? Welcome Xi Jinping. And earlier there were some loud speakers, welcome, welcome, a warm welcome, but now maybe this wave has passed, or maybe it's been confirmed here that there probably won't be much chance of anyone passing by. But the Chinese people here still gathered here, and still lingered for a long time without dispersing.

Alright, now I see the live broadcast over at the White House is still going on, it looks like Trump and Xi Jinping are each giving speeches, so it should still be a while before they can come over. However, judging by the scene, it should be mostly a team supporting Xi Jinping, because the intersection where I am standing is like this, the intersection where I am standing has more supporting citizens. Actually, when I passed by this road this morning, the whole road was packed. Now it seems some have dispersed, dispersed, OK. It's been a long time, because this meeting hasn't ended yet, but the meeting might take a while to end, so they probably went to have lunch first, or breakfast.

Would you like to say a few words? Say something. You don't want to? The Chinese people here are relatively reserved, and are willing to express their feelings. Look over here, you can only film the scene of them holding red flags and taking pictures. Actually, it's not easy to bring such a big red flag all the way here, complete with a flagpole. Alright, if you see anyone who is particularly enthusiastic, you can go and ask them if they can share their feelings. Otherwise, I see most of them are still very conservative. Look, there is even an American here, he is very kindly telling these older uncles and aunties, saying you don't need to wait here, they are over there. Oh, then do we also need to go to the mansion? This shouldn't be the main road, I think I might also need to transfer to another entrance. This morning there were a lot of people here, and now they have all dispersed.

And throughout the morning, you can see that it was also in a state of road closures and street closures. Because here in DC, you know the central area is originally a place where federal government employees and government buildings are very densely located, and once these few main traffic arteries are blocked, everyone's cars couldn't get through this morning, all kinds of horns, all kinds of impatience, but there's nothing that can be done. Yeah, right, right. Okay, so Yaojiang, do you need to go to another place to prepare later? And as for me here, I can translate first, which is the welcome speech that President Trump and probably Xi Jinping are going to hold. In that case, you can call us anytime you see any news at the scene worth coming over for, or anyone accepting interviews. Now I'll do this live translation first. Alright, alright. Okay, see you later. Alright, see you later. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.

Alright, now what we are going to look at is the press conference at the White House, so let's rewind it. This should be the scene after we just saw Trump and Xi Jinping walk in, walking into the White House. This is the respective national anthems of the US and China, so after this, there should be those military displays. I just rewinded past these two national anthems, because I already saw a difference. The US anthem will at least have one, usually Americans will put their hands over their hearts, and soldiers will generally salute, or Americans might also salute.

It looks like President Trump should speak first. Thank you for the honor. No need for me, there is a translator at the scene.

P gonk onalk and the members of the Chinese delegation, I'm delighted to welcome you to the beautiful White House. Such a great honor. In May we had the great privilege of visiting you in Beijing, where you received our delegation with spectacular and very beautiful hospitality. Now Melania and I are honored to host you in Washington, as President Xi becomes the first ever Chinese to make a second formal state visit to America.

So-called Chinese leader to make a second formal state visit to America.

Since I was first elected in 2016, President Xi and I have built a great friendship. This friendship is built on mutual respect and the fundamental interests of the people of our two countries. We have spent time together all over the world, from Germany to Argentina, from Japan to South Korea, from Beijing to Mar-a-Lago. But surprisingly, this is our first time meeting at the White House. As President Xi can see for himself, a lot has changed here since his last visit.

President Xi and Madam Peng arrive at an important moment for America, the 250th anniversary of our founding. Tomorrow we will visit the National Archives to see some of the greatest treasures of that proud history, including the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Some of the most precious treasures, including the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.

We will also see some artifacts that bear witness to the long and precious trade and cultural exchanges between the United States and China. Just as our ancestors crossed the oceans centuries ago to trade, learn from each other, and build a better world together. Today, our two countries will once again contribute to the well-being of the world. So, I am proud of the relationship between our two countries; we have a very good relationship.

Working together, President Xi and I have made tremendous strides on the issues facing our two countries. During my last visit last May, we created the Board of Trade, and through that, it's a brand new mechanism and was something that's been unbelievably successful. Our teams have been working to encourage a more balanced trading relationship, including the new market access for American farmers and ranchers.

Our teams have been working hard to promote a more balanced trading relationship, which includes finding new market access opportunities for American farmers and ranchers.

During this visit, we will also discuss pressing issues concerning security, technology and superintelligence, SI. The decisions we make in these areas today can promote peace and prosperity for decades and decades to come.

During this visit, we will also discuss pressing issues concerning security, trade, technology, and artificial intelligence, also known as superintelligence. The decisions we make in these areas today will lay a solid foundation for world peace and prosperity for decades to come.

If we focus on our common interests, I'm confident there is much we can achieve. Throughout history, pursuit of those common interests has connected our people across the vast oceans, those big, tremendous distances and many differences, and even made us allies in World War II. Look at the greatness that we had together fighting in World War II. Brave American pilots volunteered to come to China and fight for the very survival of that legendary country and that legendary Flying Tigers group. They were just unbelievable.

If we can focus on our common interests, I am confident that we can achieve much. Throughout history, the pursuit of common interests has connected the people of our two countries, bridging vast distances and numerous differences, and even making us allies during World War II. Brave American pilots volunteered to come to China to fight for its survival, becoming the legendary Flying Tigers. They were simply incredible.

And it was the United States Marines' encounter with Chinese people that inspired the Marines to adopt a Chinese phrase they still use today, gung ho. The Marines use it as an expression of great enthusiasm.

It was the encounter between the United States Marines and the Chinese people that inspired the Marines to adopt a Chinese phrase they still use today, "Gung Ho." The Marines use it to express great enthusiasm, but in Chinese, its literal meaning is "work together." Just as our two peoples once joined hands to win that war, President Xi and I will continue to work together to create a better future for both our countries. President Xi, Madame Peng, thank you again for this historic visit. Welcome to the United States.

Thank you. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping.

Please welcome President Xi Jinping to deliver his remarks.

Respected President Trump and Madame Melania, distinguished American ministers, leaders, ladies and gentlemen, friends, it is a pleasure to pay a state visit to the beautiful Republic of America. I would like to thank President Trump and his wife for the warm hospitality extended to me and my wife. First, on behalf of the more than 1.4 billion Chinese people, I would like to extend sincere greetings to the American people and express my warm congratulations on the 250th anniversary of American independence.

Honorable President Donald J. Trump and Mrs. Melania Trump, members of the U.S. delegation, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, I am very glad to pay a state visit to your beautiful country, the United States of America. Thank you, President Trump and Mrs. Trump, for the warm hospitality you have extended to me and my wife. On behalf of the 1.4 billion and more Chinese people, I wish to begin by extending sincere greetings to the American people and warm congratulations on the 250th anniversary of the U.S. independence.

Both China and the United States are great countries, and the Chinese and American peoples are great peoples. My visit to the United States at the invitation of President Trump is to carry on friendship, expand cooperation, and enhance the well-being of the two peoples.

Both China and the United States are great countries, and both the Chinese and American peoples are great peoples. I am visiting the United States at President Trump's invitation to carry on our friendship, expand cooperation and promote the well-being of both our peoples.

Bearing the historic responsibility of promoting human development and progress.

Facing the changes in our world, in our times, and of historical significance today, China and the United States, as two major countries, shoulder a historic responsibility of advancing human development and progress.

During President Trump's visit to China this year, we agreed to build a constructive China-U.S. relationship of strategic stability, which has been widely welcomed by the peoples of both countries and the international community. I am willing to work together with President Trump to guide the great ship of China-U.S. relations to sail steadily and far.

Mr. President, during your visit to China this year, we agreed to build a constructive China-U.S. relationship of strategic stability, and this is widely welcomed by the people of our two countries and the international community. I am ready to work with you to steer the giant ship of China-U.S. relationship on a steady course toward the future.

We need to strengthen the conversation. We need to strengthen the relationship between the two countries. Through candid, in-depth, and sustained dialogue, we can enhance understanding, seek common ground while shelving differences, and build up mutual trust. President Trump and I respect each other, have established a good relationship, and maintain regular communication. We encourage the diplomatic, economic, trade, financial, law enforcement, and people-to-people departments of both countries to strengthen communication and support our respective legislative bodies in expanding exchanges.

We should strengthen communication. China and the United States are different in national conditions, but through candid, in-depth and continued dialogue, our two countries can explain things more to each other, seek common ground while shelving differences, and build up mutual trust. President Trump and I have respect for each other. We have built personal rapport and stayed in touch. We encourage our government departments, such as those in charge of foreign affairs, economic matters, financial cooperation, law enforcement, and people-to-people exchanges, to catch up on strengthening contact, and we support our legislative bodies in increasing exchanges.

We should cooperate with sincerity. The interests of China and the United States are deeply intertwined, and there is plenty of room for us to work together. Although China-U.S. cooperation cannot solve all the problems in the world, without the cooperation of our two countries, it would be hard to solve many of the world's problems. China's door of opening-up is always wide open. We welcome American enterprises to invest and do business in China, and we hope the U.S. side will treat Chinese enterprises fairly, jointly lengthen the list of cooperation, and shorten the list of issues.

We should cooperate with sincerity. The interests of China and the United States are deeply intertwined, and there is plenty of room for us to work together. China-U.S. cooperation may not solve every problem in the world, but without our cooperation, it would be hard to solve many of the world's problems. China keeps its door wide open, welcomes American companies wanting to invest and do business there. We hope Chinese companies are treated fairly here in the United States. Working together, we can lengthen the list of cooperation and shorten the list of issues.

Both China and the United States are major countries in artificial intelligence. We have both the capability and the responsibility to develop and manage artificial intelligence well, ensure that AI development always remains under human control, and benefit the people. China is willing to strengthen anti-narcotics, law enforcement, and other cooperation with the U.S. side. The two sides can increase direct flights to make personnel and economic and trade exchanges between the two sides more convenient.

Both China and the United States are leading nations in artificial intelligence. We have both the capability and responsibility to develop and manage AI for good and ensure that the development of AI is always under human control and serves the well-being of the people. On counter-narcotics and law enforcement, the Chinese side is willing to strengthen cooperation with the United States, and the two sides may also increase direct flights to facilitate two-way travel and trade. Both China and the United States must hold the line of no conflict and no confrontation, and we can certainly find the right path for two major countries to get along on this planet. The two militaries should maintain regular dialogue and improve mechanisms for crisis communication and prevention. The Thucydides trap can be overcome. We should co-exist in peace. As I have said many times, China and the United States, as two major countries, stand to gain from cooperation and will both lose in confrontation. We do not need to avoid mentioning competition, but our competition should be a healthy one and should be kept within bounds. It should be a race of catching up with one another, not a wrestle in which one either wins or loses. China and the United States must hold the line of no conflict and no confrontation between us. And we can certainly find the right path for our two great countries to get along on this planet we both call home. Our two militaries should maintain regular dialogue and improve mechanisms for crisis communication and prevention. The Thucydides trap can be overcome.

In the next five years, China will invite 100,000 American teenagers to China for exchange and study. Like President Trump mentioned earlier, during the Second World War, Chinese and Americans fought shoulder to shoulder against fascist aggression. Chinese people have never forgotten that part of history, nor have the American people. The hope of China-U.S. relationship lies in our people, and its future lies with the young. I am glad to announce an invitation for 100,000 young Americans to visit China for exchanges and study in the coming five years.

The giant panda has been an envoy of friendship between the Chinese and Americans. Today I want to share some good news: in a few days, the giant pandas Pingping and Fu Shuang will settle in Zoo Atlanta and meet with the American people. The giant panda has been an envoy of friendship between the Chinese and Americans. Here I have a piece of good news. In a few days, two pandas, Pingping and Fu Shuang, will come to their new home in Zoo Atlanta and meet with the American people.

Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and making America great again can go hand in hand. Let us uphold our commitment to the people, demonstrate historical initiative, continuously advance the cause of friendship between the Chinese and American people, and work together to build a better world. Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and making America great again can go hand in hand. Let us respond to the expectations of the people, demonstrate our historical initiative, continue to advance the cause of friendship between the Chinese and American people, and work together to build a better world. Thank you all, thank you everyone.

Alright, it looks like the ceremony is over now. In a moment, there should be a segment where Trump and Xi Jinping review the troops. This segment hasn't started yet, so let's wait for a bit. However, in the meantime, we have more footage that Yao Jiang has brought us. Yao Jiang might have seen some scenes of anti-CCP individuals, so let's take a look at some videos recently released by Yao Jiang.

"Only when China is free can I go home. Coming to a place in the United States where I am unfamiliar with the surroundings, to be honest, many people want to return to China. Only when the CCP collapses and steps down can I go back."

The gate here has already been closed. Originally, many media outlets were gathered here. You can see them across the street with their long lenses and cameras, because if your equipment is good enough, you can get a glimpse of what's inside. But now you can see it's about to close. Now the police are coming over. Alright, it's closing completely now. It's closed, it's closed. This is the Secret Service. It's basically over here. The media gathered around the White House hoping to capture even a distant shot from here probably won't be able to anymore. This reporter is still very persistent, filming through the crack in the gate. The gate won't close completely; you can still see a little bit inside, just through the gap in the black iron bars, you can still catch a glimpse.

"The mood is waiting for Xi Jinping's arrival, right? How do you guys feel? What time did you come here today?" "A little after 7, everyone is here." "You arrived at 7, a little after 7. Then why did you come here? Are you still waiting here?" "To welcome him." "Are you from New York, or are you from New York?" "Comrades, can we follow along? This is a good time for Chinese, right? I'm also a New Yorker. Did you guys just shout 'Welcome Chairman Xi' or 'Welcome General Secretary'? Have you seen them these past two days? You haven't seen them, you're just in a state of waiting. We saw the motorcade."

Below we can continue to look at the ceremony held over there by Trump and Xi Jinping. The next part should be a scene of their military review, so I probably don't need to translate this, I'll just play the panoramic view for everyone. Alright, this is the live broadcast of the scene. Now they have switched to this angle.

In Xi Jinping's speech this morning, especially some parts, there were still some slips of the tongue. We all know that when General Secretary Xi reads from his little notebook, some slips of the tongue will appear underneath. What I heard might be 'World War 2', or 'Second World War', General Secretary Xi seemed to mumble it vaguely, and there might have been a few small stutters, but it's still OK.

I see audience friends also pointing out that President Trump's translator this morning, his translation level is actually quite good. Some audience members even followed up by saying he's not even as good as me. This person should be a relatively professional person, and his Chinese proficiency should also be much higher than mine. I also think Xi Jinping's English translation is pretty OK, he must have stayed in the United States.

Look at Sharon saying that the colors of Trump and Xi's ties are the same, did they coordinate it? Not necessarily. Looking at Trump's tie, it seems to be purple, but Xi Jinping's tie should be dark red, which is also very similar, very similar, It's about the same. But the colors of their suits are almost identical, so they kind of color-clashed.

Alright, it looks like the two key figures have gone back. This short live broadcast has ended. So this is the scene of their military review. Originally, this was supposed to be held at 7:40 Pacific Time, which is also 10:40 Eastern Time, but we can see this is obviously about 20 minutes late.

Below, the next activity should be the Rose Garden military review. The previous one was the US Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon review, so it's still different. There will be a military review later, this will be for 4 people, Trump, Xi Jinping, Melania, and Peng Liyuan will all attend. And then at the very end there will be a B-2 stealth bomber and four F-22s flying over the White House, this should be the conclusion.

After this, at 8:30 Pacific Time, 11:30 Central Time, Trump and Xi Jinping will have a small-scale bilateral meeting, that will be a closed-door ceremony. After this, it should be a closed-door session, so perhaps at this time we won't follow Xi Jinping and Trump, maybe we'll see if Yao Jiang has any brand new footage at the scene.

Alright, then I'll continue to play some videos that Yao Jiang filmed this morning for everyone. Just now we saw that there is finally someone on the side supporting Xi Jinping starting to speak, and we also saw someone opposing Xi Jinping appear. These people should be outside this event venue. So why didn't Yao Jiang see many people opposing Xi Jinping this morning? It might be because the locations they were at were different.

Alright, let's look at the video Yao Jiang continued to film this morning. They were taking photos, taking photos of the mounted police horses, it looks like a check-in photo shoot for the supporting team. Alright, we have also contacted Yao Jiang, we should connect with Yao Jiang later. The police are coming to manage it immediately, the police said you can't go on that road. The police always have to constantly stop the welcoming crowd to prove the information they want to take photos of. Safety first still.

Alright, I'm calling Yao Jiang now to see if he has any brand new information at the scene. Give me a second.

"Hello, Yao Jiang, hello." "Hello, hello. I have arrived at the other side of the White House now, it's different from the situation just now. Because on the side of the White House we just contacted, it's the scene of supporters, and these here are the affairs of the opposition. Today they didn't form a fierce confrontation, unlike yesterday at the scene of that Andrews Air Force base, where the confrontation between the two sides was very fierce, and even physical blows were exchanged. Today they very wisely chose to guard each side, so there were no relatively violent scenes, because they avoided each other like the plague. We can't hear some of the slogans they shouted very clearly, so can Yao Jiang tell us clearly?"

"There are so many, several more than yesterday. Coach, don't hit first, you hit two sentences first. An dao, an dao. An dao, can't hold on, can't hold on. Alright, next one didn't turn on yang. Is there a megaphone you can lend us? Xiao Chai, and you can lend the high-pitched megaphone a bit."

And today I also saw many other YouTube vloggers eating on camera right here. There is one right over here. First, let me look at this crowd and say a few words. Just now on my way here, I noticed a very strange sight: you see those two Secret Service agents ahead, the ones in black, they are questioning some protesters. They are from the Secret Service, and they grabbed two protesters to question them, I don't know why. When I walked past them, I heard a little bit of it; they were asking the protesters if they were carrying weapons. That's the only question I heard, but I don't know why they needed to specifically pull two people aside to question them. Well, safety first, maybe this is part of their protection work.

The opposition side is mainly outnumbered, with fewer people, basically concentrated at this one spot. But the supporters use a human-sea tactic, meaning once you leave this area and head to the main street, or all around the four sides of the White House, wherever there is parking space, wherever there is an intersection, you will see their presence.

Just as we said earlier, they are unwilling to talk in too much depth. Basically, they will just say, we are here to support Xi Jinping. Some of them say, for example, that they came from New York, some came by tour bus, and some drove themselves. But if you ask them any further, they basically don't want to talk. However, when I passed by them, I happened to hear one of them say: "Oh, it doesn't matter if we don't see anything, just think of it as a publicly funded trip." I think this is the only thing I caught because I happened to walk past them and heard someone say it very quickly.

I suspect they might have some guidelines, like if there are media present, not to talk to them, or instructions similar to that. Otherwise, I feel and believe that the opposition here are actually willing to talk to any media. If CCTV came over, I bet they would be willing to speak into the microphone because, for them, they hope to make their voices heard to the maximum extent. But on the other side, they are a bit more cautious.

Seeing many people here on site, either taking check-in photos or filming. Earlier, because I saw this place from afar, I assumed these red flags belonged to the supporters, so I thought the supporters and opponents were having a face-off here side by side. But actually, when I got closer, I found that they were all five-star red flags with the stars blacked out, so this intersection is basically just the opposition's territory, and there are no voices from the supporters here.

So it's hard to capture the scene of the two sides confronting each other, because once I leave this spot, I have to walk a very, very long way. Because around the White House, maybe at least two streets are blocked off, so you have to make a huge detour to get to the next spot that might be slightly closer to the White House. Once I leave this point, I might have to walk a long way to find the next gathering crowd.

They are still quite far apart. The police are here again, and they might be questioning people again. I don't know if they are going to disperse them; some more police have arrived. Look, today they are all riding bicycles because they have to patrol around the White House area. If you walk on foot, going to one place takes a very long time, and plus many areas are not open to cars, so mounted police and bicycle police have become the main modes of transportation today. It's quite common in the United States, police officers riding bicycles.

"Can we hear what questions they are asking over here?" Let me get a bit closer. It seems like they are explaining why they are filming here. They said it's because in other places they would be harassed and intimidated by supporters, so they have no choice but to film here. And one of the police officers here is Chinese, acting as an interpreter, translating for another police officer.

This audio is a bit faint and not very clear. What he means is that if he is together with those supporters, the supporters will take out their phones to film him, but as soon as he films the supporters, they will intimidate him or point fingers at him to stop him from filming. He is explaining this to the police. I don't know why what they call it. So yeah, he's allowed to......

I see now that in our comment section there are also some things appearing like, "OK, support, ask him." Oh, OK, OK, he's a super boy. Oh, OK. I don't know if these are patriotic people or internet trolls (shills); it looks like trolls.

Alright, this person here is the one we saw earlier who satirized Xi Jinping as Emperor Trump. Because someone is filming, you can film here, anything goes. You can film them, and they can film you. You can't consult him, you can't film. I know.

I know what this police officer coming here means. It seems like this police officer received a call from someone, kind of like reporting an incident or filing a complaint. It means some people don't want to be filmed, and he is just telling the protesters here that in this area people have the right to film you, and you have the right to film people; there is no such thing as being able to film or not being able to be filmed. He's just here to inform them.

However, after seeing the identities of these protesters, they said it's OK, and that holding a protest here is OK. They just wanted to let them know that everyone can film and be filmed mutually, and there is no such situation where filming is prohibited. Yes, yes, in China you would hear a lot about the right to portraiture.

So he wasn't trying to chase them away. Because when I suddenly saw these four police officers coming over, I thought something was happening. But it's relatively quiet here today because the White House area is so large, so there's no scene of two sides squaring off against each other. And as we just said, the opposition is weak in numbers after all, making it hard to disperse, so they can only gather here. Only by gathering here can their crowd and momentum perhaps be displayed.

However, since supporters surround the entire White House perimeter, I estimate that after I head out from here, I should see more scenes of supporters a little later. Shall we wrap things up here for now? Then I'll go check out some other spots.

Great, Perfect, no problem. Thanks, Yao Jiang. Okay, thank you, bye-bye. Bye-bye, see you later.

Well, this is a very good timing because we see the military parade starting over on Trump's side as well. So let's observe this; there probably isn't much here that needs explanation. Everyone, pay attention to the height difference—this has been a quite hotly debated topic in the overseas Chinese community, specifically how General Xi seems to be getting taller and taller over the years.

I see some comments in the comment section now, some of which are interactions between different stances from both sides. Some people are also asking why there are no supporters of Tibetan independence, Xinjiang independence, Hong Kong, or Taiwan visible at this protest site. Well, everyone can certainly see plenty of Taiwanese people because there are many flags of the Republic of China in the live broadcast scenes just now.

Right, Sharon also has a very good point, which is that the protesters are all spontaneous. In fact, they don't have any large-scale organization, nor do they have anyone reimbursing their food and drinks. But on the supporters' side, we have successively seen a lot of news coming out throughout the day indicating that these people came through organized methods—some had their plane tickets bought for them, some had their hotels paid for, and others had their food and drinks provided, all arranged in advance. So of course more people wanted to come over, since your plane ticket is bought for free after all.

Just like what we heard a supporter of the Chinese Communist Party say at the scene earlier, think of it as a trip, right? Whether you can see Xi Jinping doesn't matter; at least treat it as a vacation with free reimbursement. Of course, who wouldn't go?

Look, we have a viewer in the comment section named "Mama Writing" who says the rebels are absurd and ridiculous, holding US identities and having no qualification to talk about China. In fact, there is a rather amusing paradox here. Look at what this viewer says: if you have a US identity, you have no qualification to talk about China. But the problem is, we have to ask in reverse: if you have a Chinese identity, do you have qualification to talk about China? Of course, viewing friends all know the answer is no.

No matter who you are, especially if you have a Chinese identity, talking about China or criticizing China is completely impossible; you will get your account banned, your posts deleted, and you might even be invited to "drink tea." Under these circumstances, rather unfortunately, you can only have a US identity or the identity of another country to be qualified to talk about China, because these countries will grant you the protection of freedom of speech.

In the United States, you can say whatever you want about the US president; probably more than half of the media in the US spends most of their time speaking ill of President Trump. But look at the Chinese media—who would ever dare say General Secretary Xi hasn't... Good luck. Saying opposition is the true patriotism.

Some viewers are saying why Xi Jinping's head is always tilted. Later when they have a close-up shot, we can pay attention to that. I haven't noticed yet whether his head is leaning to one side. But this morning when Xi Jinping was just speaking, it indeed sounded a bit lifeless. However, this might just be because it was early and due to poor lighting issues; one cannot judge his health or whether there is any problem with his body based on this.

There is even talk that Chinese schools and Confucius Institutes organized many people to come over. Indeed, we saw one a few days ago—a Chinese school held in the US where the principal organized students, and they even had a quota. At the time, the quota was full, so they couldn't accept any more personnel.

Three Brothers says he had a stroke. Let's talk about freedom of speech again. In China, on our US Trending show, we just reported a phenomenon a few days ago: under a video about symptoms older adults should watch out for—just a very general video—someone commented a few words saying it might be a stroke, or language similar to that, without saying who might have had a stroke, and they just said it might be a stroke. As a result, this person directly had their posts deleted and account banned.

Because at the time there was a lot of public opinion on the internet regarding Xi Jinping's physical health, and some speculations about whether he had a stroke. So in China indeed, as you can see, it's not just about criticizing China—any vague hint or message that might involve Xi Jinping will lead to post deletion and account banning.

Therefore, Simon Zhang says the Chinese Communist Party is not equal to China; China is just a bunch of state thieves who have transferred the wealth created by the people overseas to varying degrees. According to reports, the US government also has some reports regarding the overseas assets of high-ranking officials of the Chinese Communist Party. Our US Trending previously did related programs, and the US government is also currently—presumably through a committee—making investigations into this aspect, so it is very likely that we will see more reports in the future regarding the property of the Chinese Communist Party overseas, especially in the United States.

Some viewers are asking what this performance is about. This is a scheduled military parade segment, so this is a military review in the Rose Garden. At the end of this ceremony, there will be a stealth bomber. We just saw a shot of it heading toward the sky, so it should be a scene where these bombers are preparing to fly over. In a moment, we might see a B-2 stealth bomber and four F-22 fighter jets flying overhead.

Alright, we just heard the planes flying over. Oh, caught it. Everyone look above this building, it's quite small, that black line flew past, and then it was gone.

Viewers say I love China, but I don't love the current society. Who said no one loves the current society? What's worth thinking about is, why? Why do so many people dislike the current Chinese society? How did this phenomenon come about? Who should be responsible for social phenomena?

Alright, that's the end of the ceremony. Let's see if there will be any brand-new footage from Yao Jiang's side. But while waiting for her, let's take a look at some on-site videos filmed by Yao Jiang. Alright, let me play it for you.

Oh, this is a scene we already saw this morning. Hello everyone, today is September 24th, another early morning, and I've started another day of walking around DC. Actually, there are very few people in DC; you see a few people walking on the street, but there are just so many traffic lights. So sometimes when you call an Uber, take a taxi, or drive, you end up stopping and going; but if you use your own two legs, it's very convenient, as long as you're not afraid of walking.

I heard that 30% of the residents in DC are government employees; it's the big capital. This is Georgetown University; I basically live in a place very close to Georgetown University, and not far from the White House either, a 15-minute walk. The building opposite looks like a government agency, but it's actually the Department of the Interior Museum. This is a government agency called Personal Management—do they manage themselves?

On the road, you see many people wearing work badges; it feels like they are all government agency staff, heading to work because they need access cards. Vertical Transportation Department—the building in front of me is called the Vertical Transportation Department; I understand it should be related to aircraft management, Vertical Transportation.

Come on, this is a place for breakfast near the White House that I looked up today. The key is that I can sit here for a while and wait. Let's look at my breakfast, simple and nutritious; the main thing is to have a quick meal here.

I don't know if it's traffic control, but early in the morning, there are only big cars near the government agencies, and motorcycles driving everywhere. But I really wanted to run into someone who truly supports Xi Jinping's visit, and welcomes the Chinese President, the great Xi Jinping, to the United States. But unfortunately, I didn't have the chance yesterday, and the people I occasionally ran into all refused.

This point also makes me feel very frustrated—why won't you speak up? If you love him, just say it; if you love him, don't hide it. And you're already here, right? Just express your feelings, what are you afraid of?

And I actually think, even if they were provided with food, lodging, or airfare and hotel, I think I could understand. Because do you know how expensive hotels in DC are right now? A very ordinary three-star hotel, which usually costs about 100 to 150 dollars, has now risen to 300 or 400 dollars. You ask an elderly person to come from New York, take a train—that's at least 100 dollars—and then cover their own food and lodging here for two nights; who can stand that?

So I think I can accept all that. But the problem is, since you've come and people spent so much money, just say a few words, what's the big deal? But they are very cautious, and they especially want to confirm where you, the media, are from, and if you are from a tactical unit.

I really can't understand this either. I just want to say, for those who are rebels, or opponents of the opposition, they are basically—let me tell you—if a new person interviews them, they are overjoyed; if CCTV interviews them, I think they would celebrate like it's a holiday. Because they hope to have more media with the largest reach to interview them; they aren't picky.

But if they are supporters, they are very careful and cautious. They must see how you are going to frame them. This is the Department of the Interior, let me show you. The Department of the Interior that puts President Trump and George Washington side by side. This flattery is well done, huh. The statue of the liberator Bolívar.

Tiny DC, not many people on the road, just cars. Wow, are they filming a movie? The crew is here. Maybe some TV station is broadcasting live. Look at how sumptuous their breakfast is, all kinds of fruits.

I suddenly understand why Claire in "House of Cards" likes morning runs in DC so much; it's indeed very suitable for running. Early in the morning, there's no one around, not to mention the scenery is also very good. The lake isn't deep either, don't know about the middle. Not a single road.

This is really a key area for filming today, as I see many crew members pulling cases and carrying cameras heading that way. But it's too miserable, having to drag them all this way. I came up here many years ago. All the attractions in Washington D.C. are free, so you might as well visit them. Museums, art galleries, natural science museums, and various government agencies—like the White House has a visitor center, and the Capitol has a visitor center; these are all free. Isn't it beautiful?

Just outside this serene, idyllic lake, there are now wailing sirens, traffic jams, various television equipment being moved around, and the clamor of protesters and supporters. Only here does it still retain its original reflection. This person is quite interesting, dressed like an astronaut in red pants. This is a sculpture in front of the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C., on display until October this year.

Continuing to walk, guess what this is; it's quite interesting. This is a building called the "Lockkeeper's House," because it has been around for a century, built in 1837. It was once the home of a lock keeper, later became a public restroom, and served various purposes like a police station, and now it has finally become a museum.

Continuing to walk, is this another traffic control? These must be supporters; the supporters have already gathered here. There are more children heading that way; they just got off a bus. There really are a lot of supporters gathered here. It seems I am now on the path that President Xi must take, and more members of the public, Chinese citizens, are gathering here. Isn't it joyful? They are all really wearing pink hats. It's not just about being someone's companion; colorful flags are flying all day, and the Chinese public is immersed in the joy of President Xi's arrival.

Hello, may I ask if you are here to welcome President Xi? Would you like to say a few words? I'm not filming right now, I'm just asking, just asking. You are just excited, just expressing yourselves, it's fine. It's okay, it's okay.

It's a great pity; I just caught two aunties holding red flags who were wandering outside the organized groups, but they still refused my interview. Because I feel that people standing inside usually have higher vigilance; perhaps if they are persuaded by others, they won't accept it. But if you step out a little, some aunties might feel it's fine to chat, but they still refused me; their vigilance is quite high. I don't mean anything else; I just sincerely want to know their voices, really, really. I truly don't want to maliciously edit them. I hope I have better luck later; there are still many welcoming citizens ahead. Look, I even call them welcoming citizens; I didn't even call them Little Pinks. I really hate labeling people, truly.

Wow, that fighter jet just flew over our heads, making a huge noise. This is another place where the welcoming crowd has gathered. Under normal circumstances, it's actually quite quiet; without a motorcade passing by, there wouldn't be loud shouting or cheering; everyone just stands here quietly. There are probably several hundred people in one group here; actually, this is just a very small stronghold, and I don't know where the larger ones are right now. Yesterday they were all concentrated together, but today they are dispersed. Yes, as I walked along this road just now, there were guards every five steps and sentries every ten steps, dispersed.

Why be so dispersed? Doesn't dispersion mean there's no voice? Here is a large welcoming crowd; they have been standing here since six or seven in the morning, and although they haven't waited for him yet, they are still standing here very persistently. They say they might have to wait until the afternoon, and continue waiting until the afternoon. I feel like this place is still a hundred thousand miles away from the White House. This ahead should be Trafalgar Square, and then the obelisk. Alright, that's about all the video I shot on-site today.

I see Yao Jiang might still have a chance to connect with us, to take another look at the scene, and perhaps share a word or two at the end. Let's see if Yao Jiang is ready. Hello, Yao Jiang.

I just walked to the supporters' camp; the camp isn't that lively, because I feel like many of them are sitting on the ground, not that passionate, or maybe it's because they are too tired. Because they really have it quite tough; they have been here since six or seven in the morning, standing guard for four or five hours, and haven't seen a shadow of him. They are all elderly people, so it's understandable. Anyway, they will keep singing these very enthusiastic welcoming songs, so you can feel some joyful atmosphere.

He doesn't know what he is waiting for at this scene right now, because the next public event should be in the afternoon, around 3:35 PM Pacific Time, which is around 6:30 PM Eastern Time. These people are all wearing blue hats, so the hat colors are different; blue matches pink, this should be a distinction between men and women—men wear blue, women wear pink. But I can't walk in front of them to film because they are all standing in front of this iron railing, and the road in front of them is blocked, so maybe that's why there are so many welcoming citizens here, because they think perhaps the motorcade will pass by there. But I think the street closure is definitely more than one block away; I think this might even be two blocks away, so even if they are blocked here, I don't think standing here will necessarily allow them to see anything.

Well, is there anyone in this group who wants to chat? Just now you smoothly got two people to talk a little bit, and they were quite enthusiastic. Right, I don't know if this person is willing to speak, I'll ask. Hello, would you mind sharing your feelings at this moment? Just the excitement. But you've already been standing here for four or five hours, aren't you tired? Really not tired. So until when do you plan to stand here? You can't even see anything and that doesn't matter, right? Are you guys from New York? And you're leaving tomorrow, right? Preparing to leave tomorrow. So for the entire trip, it doesn't matter if you can't see him at all? Every time the Chinese President, the Chinese President comes previously, you always come to welcome him, right? It's everyone's first time here. You must be the organizer, right? I see you wearing a small red badge, you should be considered one of the organizers. A member. Look, these are all participating citizens. So it doesn't matter if you don't eat or drink here? What about using the restroom? No, we're just about to leave this place, yeah.

I see this elderly person is also having a hard time, look at them standing here, standing for four or five hours, holding a flag. Later they will have lunch time. There will be lunch time. There are many police cars here, actually there is nothing here that needs order maintenance, because basically everyone here is a supporter, so everyone is very harmonious here. Today, as I just said, the supporters and the opponents are on separate sides.

Here the supporters have their own camp, and at the next intersection, which is where we were livestreaming just now, are the opponents. Occasionally you can hear a little bit of the opponents' voices drifting over, but basically I think everyone is just doing their own thing. Look, the supporters are mostly gathered here. No, actually this is just a very small stronghold for them, because look, the number of people here is actually not large, and they are not chanting slogans anymore, because now basically the excited mood of the morning has passed, and it has now entered a state of idleness, everyone has become a bit lazy, which is also understandable. People are eating a boxed meal, what's wrong with eating a boxed meal? Everyone needs to eat, right? And people want to sit down, sitting down is also very understandable, right? With such strong winds, and elderly people with inconvenient legs and feet, people sitting here for a while is totally understandable.

I wonder if Yao Jiang can check out what kind of thoughts the opponents at the scene might have. I don't know if anyone here is willing to talk about it? If you feel it's inconvenient, I can ask the lady just now, because I think many elderly people don't have too many thoughts, for them it's actually just coming to have fun. I don't know about that lady just now, she might have more to share, this is something everyone might be most curious about.

Hello. So how do you view the opposing voices not far away? How do I view them? I view them ordinarily, how should I put it, just saying you won't have any pain or anything towards them, anyway, everyone just does their own part well. I just need to do what I like to do. Because previously we saw some conflicts and confrontations between the two sides, but today it seems relatively calm, probably because everyone is standing far apart, basically unable to see each other. Have you seen them? Have you heard their voices? Do you think their demands are reasonable? I didn't see them, and in the morning I didn't seem to go collect any assistance money either, I don't have any views on it. Why did the police suddenly arrive here? They are letting people go. No views, everyone voices their own opinions, no views.

This is also a relatively conservative response, yeah, she didn't feel very radical, she probably thinks this way herself. I don't know if anyone here is willing to say a couple of words, but it looks much more low-key here, because they are all wearing masks, I guess it might be hard for anyone to be willing to talk. Let me ask this elderly woman, hello, are you willing to say a couple of words? How are you feeling? Unwilling to speak, unwilling to speak. My judgment on whether they are willing to accept interviews is, first of all, she is wearing a mask, I am wearing a mask too, definitely unwilling to accept interviews first of all; if not wearing a mask, it's also selective, not necessarily.

Let me ask these uncles, look, someone directly used the national flag to block their face, definitely unwilling to speak. May I ask if any of you are willing to say a couple of words, your feelings? Head shakes, head shakes, unwilling to speak. Yeah, they are all quite conservative, quite conservative. I think there are many layers of reasons behind this, I think Chinese people might naturally be reluctant to accept interviews, that's one layer of reason. But on the other hand, they are very scared, afraid that after saying something in the media, through editing or comparison, rumors will be very unfriendly to them, so that can be understood as well. Indeed, indeed.

Alright, then does Yao Jiang think there is anything else worth filming here? If not, I am leaving this intersection now and plan to go to the next intersection. Are you still willing to hold on for a while here? If you want to end it, it's OK too, I'll send the video to you later. Oh, well, let's keep it this way then, because I see we've already had a lot of livestream content this morning, and we should have another livestream this afternoon, because there will be more footage of Trump and Xi Jinping. Alright, many thanks to Yao Jiang, we look forward to more of your videos and possibly the afternoon livestream. Alright, thanks a lot, bye-bye.

Thank you, viewers, for watching this live stream. There will be a state dinner at the Congress this afternoon. There should be a welcome ceremony around 3:45 PM Pacific Time, and then around 4:55 PM Pacific Time, or 7:55 PM Eastern Time, Trump and Xi Jinping will make public remarks again. We might have a live stream for this segment. Then, at 5:10 PM, they will proceed to the state dinner. The state dinner is closed-door, closed-door, so we won't be able to see it. There might be another live stream during that time; we will discuss it backstage to see if there are better visuals or moments worth sharing.

Let's see what the viewers are saying at the end. Some viewers are asking how much a rebel makes a day. In fact, we know this rebel team is quite well-known for self-funding, so they don't really make any money. Well, someone said the host infiltrated the extras. Actually, I think Yaojiang's interview was very polite and very gentlemanly. After all, as media or reporters, one still needs to maintain a certain level of neutrality, at least while on the scene. Otherwise, if you go in with a set stance to interview other people, especially those who might be on the opposing side, they certainly wouldn't be willing to talk to you.

So, I think Yaojiang's interview today was very good, at least different from yesterday. Yesterday, no one supporting Xi Jinping came out to speak, but today we at least saw two or three, and even had a conversation. However, we could also see from those images the conservative nature of some of the Chinese crowd. Let's see, thank you to Berkshire Hathaway, who said seeing me is enough, thank you, thank you. Of course, Yaojiang is very popular with everyone, but occasionally a friend comes over and says, hey, I'm pretty good too, thank you, thank you.
