9/25 Live Stream: Trump Welcomes, Rebels Protest

The video records the live scene during the meeting between US President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping at the US Navy Memorial in Washington. The scene gathered both supporters and opponents of Xi Jinping, creating a lively atmosphere. While reporting live at the scene, the reporter was obstructed and besieged by suspected personnel of the Chinese Communist Party, including having the camera blocked by umbrellas, being physically blocked from filming, and even facing threatening gestures. Protesters also described experiences of conflicts with supporters, including having their flagpole snatched and being physically shoved. The video concludes with footage of Xi Jinping's departure and a brief review of the visit, mentioning the state dinner menu and some highlights of the protests.

Hello, viewers and friends, welcome back to today's live broadcast of "China-US Benchmarking". I am Qi Xiaotian. Today, our focus is on the entire segment of seeing off Xi Jinping, primarily looking at how anti-communist and pro-communist individuals interact at the scene. Our General 11 is already at the scene, so without further ado, let's see what progress has been made at the site before Trump and Xi Jinping meet. Alright, let's connect with General 11.

Yaoyao, hello, can you hear me?

Yes, this morning things suddenly got lively here again. As we know, today is the day Trump is taking Xi Jinping to visit the national monument in the US, and at this expected time, the two should have already met or just arrived. You can see right now at this Navy Memorial—wait a second, we suddenly encountered some technical problem, let me see if I can reconnect and check the situation inside General Yao's end. Okay, let's call again.

I feel that no matter what I say, it might not fully convey the atmosphere of confrontation at the scene right now, so I will directly transmit the footage to the scene so you can see it. Music just started playing, and over here you can see, down at this Navy Memorial Plaza, these are the voices of the opposition playing music. At the same time, here are the supporters, with both sides clashing.

The reason they are standing behind this black cloth barrier is because they want Xi Jinping's motorcade to see their red flags and American flags as it passes by here, to express their welcoming sentiment, because they certainly won't be able to see the cars otherwise. Look, the cars are passing right behind this black cloth barrier now, so all of them are standing here to express their welcome. You can see these elderly people waving flags enthusiastically as well.

But at the same time, right opposite them is a different voice. Compared to yesterday, the distance seems much closer today, and the music from both sides is intertwined; I completely cannot hear what they are saying. On our side, we can only hear the shouts of "Xi Jinping step down", while other music is drowned out. Look, they are also shouting with horns. What are the supporters shouting? It's like an argument. The scene is still very, very lively. I heard them shouting "Long live the Communist Party", while the other side shouts "Xi Jinping step down".

Now I can hear it. So General Yao, what is the atmosphere like at the scene? Is it quite tense? Quite intense, or quite peaceful?

Both "Long live the Communist Party" and "Xi Jinping step down" were heard. This footage clearly looks very, very lively. Every time this side shouts "Communist Party", the other side shouts "Long live", and then this side shouts "Step down". Take a look, standing right in the middle of the two camps are Washington police officers, because they are also very afraid that the two sides might suddenly charge at each other, so they have formed a physical block.

Viewers, you should be able to see in our small video window that perhaps the President or Xi Jinping has already arrived. This is the President; President Trump has just arrived. On the other side of the fence, you can see that Xi Jinping and Trump have arrived, and they are currently taking a family photo, or rather, a group photo.

I have to walk over a bit because I didn't hear exactly what they were saying. I'm standing between them and can't hear anything at all; it's too loud. But I just noticed that if we, the livestreamers, get too close to the supporters, someone will hold up an umbrella, opening it to try and block the camera's view. You can see that among these supporters, there is a person holding an umbrella with an American flag on it, and he keeps walking toward the person filming. See that?

So, this is an operation you would at least see within China. Usually, law enforcement uses this to block certain scenes they don't want others to see. But in reality, there is a purpose behind Trump bringing Xi Jinping to visit the archives museum today. As he mentioned in his speech earlier, the U.S. and China have had good relations in the past, including the U.S. sending the Flying Tigers to help China. So, there is a theory that he is trying to bring Xi Jinping into the archives museum to see more historical materials of past U.S.-China friendship, hoping to thaw the current bilateral relations.

However, I have also seen an analysis that since the August 17 Communiqué is also stored in this archive, there is a concern about whether Xi Jinping might bring up at the scene that the U.S. should abide by the August 17 Communiqué and reduce or even cancel arms sales to Taiwan. We might know more details about this later.

Now the police have pulled up the red tape and have already set up a cordon to keep them completely separated. The loudspeakers here have also been turned on, starting to play patriotic theme songs. We know that the August 17 Communiqué was signed by President Reagan in 1982, and at that time, it was indeed stated that arms sales to Taiwan would be gradually reduced. But this year, both houses have just passed arms sales to Taiwan. Since Trump hasn't signed it yet, we are very curious to see if this museum visit will affect subsequent arms sales to Taiwan.

The atmosphere between the two sides is noticeably different. At least it seems that the supporters' side might be getting ready to wrap up, possibly because—

I can't hear you at all, no problem. I can talk to the viewers, and you can just say whatever is happening on your end.

I'm going over there. What is this person? I don't know, he just keeps blocking me, not letting me film. Is he police personnel, or? It's this person, this chubby guy wearing a hat; he keeps standing around here. If I get close, he gets close to me. He doesn't look like an American police officer, definitely not; he should be someone from the Chinese side.

You can ask him why he is blocking you and what his purpose is.

I can't hear what you're saying, no problem. So, everyone can see, does this person's behavior look a bit like CCP law enforcement, or is he just a rather enthusiastic protester?

Just now, the person who passed to the right of Yao is a police officer, an American police officer. It feels like more and more people are gathering here now; the number of people on both sides is increasing. The police are surrounding this increasingly narrow middle zone, and indeed, the situation looks like it's escalating.

In the small window on the right, we can see that Xi Jinping and Trump are currently viewing some documents inside the museum. They must have realized that this situation could escalate and the atmosphere is getting more intense. Because look at the middle of the road, it's already very difficult to pass. Just a moment ago, there was barely a path for everyone to get through, but now the police have even placed their bicycles in the center between the opponents and the supporters.

And you can also notice that the supporters are now facing the opponents, not the museum. At the same time, on Trump's side, we can see that he and Xi Jinping have just been viewing the U.S. Declaration of Independence.

Back to the live footage. Look at these American police officers; they are also standing here maintaining order, perhaps fearing that something more extreme might happen later. Look at these two people; they are just staying here. This person pointed twice; what does that mean? That's a somewhat threatening gesture. Look, they are just hovering and walking around this area.

And usually, people like this wear masks; they aren't like ordinary supporters or protesters, they are more focused on protecting their identities. Look here, like this person wearing a black hat, I think so too. Yes, they all have that look, like this person wearing a black hat and a black mask. He should be, because I think I saw him at some protest occasions yesterday too.

Yes, yesterday I showed you some videos. This video was of a self-media person discovering a group of people dressed in gray clothes like this, wearing hats and masks, and all wearing sunglasses. Look at this person, this person wearing black sunglasses, he is currently filming me, and this person too. This might be the two of them. Look, look, it's filmed very clearly. I'll film it very clearly. Oh, sorry, they are always shooting at me. They are always shooting at me.

Now there is an umbrella. And they always block my view with this umbrella. You can film for the vlog. I can also film them, yeah, just like they can film you too, yeah. But now you can film each other. They are always blocking my view, blocking my view.

Look, these people live in the United States, yet instead they say they want to support China, I don't know why. If that's the case, why doesn't he go back to China? Why don't you go back to China? If you truly are patriotic, shouldn't you return to China? If you truly love it that much, shouldn't you?

Seeing so many grown men surrounding him, that's threatening. Look, the police are coming over now because they kept blocking my view. The US police have intervened. Look, all of them are here. This person even used his hand to block my phone, you can't just touch things like that. I feel like I have to stay with the police because they just keep surrounding me.

These people are too used to acting recklessly back home, but right now I really feel that their momentum has far surpassed that of the opposition. Because look, there are more and more of them, and their posture is becoming more and more threatening. Right now they just keep—look at this person holding the umbrella, he's also trying to block my view.

Our audience members are also saying, Yao Jiang, don't argue with them, stay safe. Right, Yao Jiang needs to stay safe, because just now these people's behavior looked really threatening. Yes, so originally, you guys were supposed to send me a bodyguard, and you kept saying "it's fine, it's fine." I'm telling you, these people are very aggressive, and their numbers far exceed the number of opposing people.

Furthermore, the principle of the US police is that they can film you and you can film them, as long as it doesn't reach the point of actual physical confrontation, I don't think they will take any measures. Fortunately, there are police on the scene who can step in. Especially that female police officer, she realized that these people were getting too close. Because just now, think about it, there were four of them, completely surrounding me. If there were no police nearby, I would be in a position of having nowhere to retreat.

And look at this person, he keeps holding an umbrella in front of me because he just doesn't want me to film. Actually, I don't know why, they don't even want footage of their supporters to get out. I think they don't want footage of the confrontation to get out, which also makes sense. Why isn't it footage of the protesters' side? I really want to ask what their logic is.

However, I think that if there were an American journalist, or a journalist of another ethnicity, whose appearance is neutral, they probably wouldn't do anything. Because I saw earlier someone holding a live view, who should be a journalist of another ethnicity, so generally they wouldn't go and harass such American or other ethnic videographers. But with an appearance like mine, it is indeed very easy to provoke their siege.

Are there any other people filming at the scene? I see other people are filming too, so why didn't these people block them? I think most videographers of other ethnicities left rather quickly. They just passed by, filmed for a bit, and left. And I think they probably wouldn't dare either, if they were of other ethnicities, because they know that deep down, I think they all still believe this is their country.

I don't know how long he is going to keep this up. But this time they came to this archives museum, which should be the final stop of Xi Jinping's visit to the US this time, and afterwards by the afternoon he should be getting ready to depart, so this short three-day trip is coming to an end. Previously, everyone had also been anticipating whether the two countries had achieved some breakthrough progress, or if there was any breakthrough on this truce agreement.

Judging from yesterday's situation, however, it seems neither side met expectations. This truce agreement should only last for two months, having a truce of just two months, which is both far less than the two years China wanted and less than the half year the US wanted. Therefore, it is very likely that the two sides will soon have to negotiate again regarding the issue of this truce agreement.

However, I saw news saying that this December, whether it is Xi Jinping or Trump, both are going to visit each other's countries again. Xi Jinping seems to be coming back to the US on December 18th, and then Trump will also go to China again, so both sides should still have the possibility of talking.

Can you get closer to the four people filming ahead? If this is the case, will the Chinese block everyone? Mom, I can't hear you speaking. Is it possible for you to get closer to those four people in front? It looks like they are filming too.

I don't dare to get close. Haven't you noticed these Chinese people here? I'm currently thinking about how I'm going to make my exit, because there are police right here next to me, right behind me, following that female police officer. But I don't want to take any more risks to approach them, because I still have the issue of leaving this place later. I can't keep finding a police officer to follow me, so I might have to wait a bit to find, for example, a way to call an Uber or something that will let me get into a car quickly.

Indeed, the experience is that these Chinese people make one feel somewhat intimidated. Because you have to know, their filming of these people—you just mentioned these four people, they are all of other ethnicities, white or other ethnic appearances—is fundamentally different from how they film such people. They know that filming these people will definitely provoke a strong reaction.

So when they see these foreigners filming, including these two people standing so close here, they won't react to them at all. But if I were to get close, I feel there would be a different effect. And especially those police officers, they are all standing inside the bicycles themselves. You can see the distance between the two sides is basically getting closer and closer now.

Is it possible to get to the protesters' side now, or have they already been blocked off? If one goes around from behind the protesters, it might be possible to get behind their red flags, because these supporters have now run back to this black barrier.

Yes, because on the other side of the barrier, we saw Xi Jinping and Trump just say goodbye; in fact, they have already left, so these people might also know they are a bit late. Yes, the footage from the White House side has stopped. You see, like these white people filming, they certainly won't do anything, but if it were me going up to film, there would definitely be a problem. These CCP personnel know exactly who their targets for bullying are. The action just now was really, really despicable.

Look, like this lady, I've also seen her filming around here often these past two days; she should also be a supporter of the opposition, because I interviewed her at the time. She films this close, and they won't do anything to her either. Yes, this is a very, very despicable behavior, because in the United States, as a journalist, freedom of the press is a very, very basic human right. However, these Chinese people simply do not know how to respect journalists.

Alright, now we see these protesters have already retreated; it's possible that because Xi Jinping has already left the scene, they received notice that they could disperse. However, we don't know if they will disperse or continue to confront the opposition here. It looks like the situation is calming down a bit now.

I believe the people supporting the Communist Party have already started preparing to collect their meal boxes. I think they might have received notice, for example, that the cars are about to leave again. So you can clearly feel that when they know there are cars about to drive out from behind this black curtain, they will raise their flags next to this black curtain so that the people sitting in the cars can see them, so they must have also received notice.

One of our viewers mentioned it's time to eat, and indeed it is. Another viewer commented that pro-CCP individuals only dare to bully their own people; those accustomed to speech censorship wouldn't know what freedom of the press is. Indeed, indeed. Someone else suggested that Inty should go film it, but someone asked, where is Xi Jinping now? He should be driving toward the airport, so the farewell ceremony should have already ended, as everyone just saw. So, the scene right now—at least the police are blocking quite effectively—means large-scale conflicts are unlikely to happen now, especially since the anti-CCP side is still quite active. However, the pro-CCP side seems to be getting ready to collect their boxed lunches. You can see clearly that these people are starting to withdraw; they are about to leave, they are starting to leave, yes, yes, yes. And their enthusiasm has clearly dropped significantly; it's a feeling of it disappearing in an instant. Look, the national flags have already been put down; these people should just take their boxed lunches and leave directly. These are a few—I don't know if they are some kind of law enforcement—they have many roles here. You can feel that the older men and women are just responsible for waving flags and shouting, but some are clearly responsible for coordination. For example, yesterday I saw people nearby wearing baseball caps and masks, and if you pay attention to their ears, they would have a walkie-talkie or an earpiece; they are responsible for coordination, dispatching these people, and deciding where to go next. Then there are others, for example, that chubby one, the dark and chubby one, that type clearly belongs to the thug level; they use encouragement, and if they were to clash with the opposition side, including if a conflict happens in a moment, this type of person is the one who would use their fists; you can clearly feel their threat level. And those who are tall and thin, wearing glasses, belong to the coordination group. So they have so many roles responsible for managing this matter. Compared to the opposition side here, first of all, their numbers are already significantly smaller, and they don't have so many eyes and ears coordinating in the vicinity. Including for me, why I feel threatened is because there aren't so many people around me helping to monitor and watch, so I have to consider that. And just now, for example, he took so many photos; if he returns to China, he could launch public opinion warfare, including cyberbullying; these are all possibilities. But for Chinese people overseas, because you don't have any—just like the U.S. itself would say, this is freedom of speech, you can film them, and they can film you—it's equivalent to being in a state without much protection. They should basically be withdrawing now; these people wearing hats are generally responsible for coordination. Yes, indeed, the behavior of those people toward Yao Jiang can only be described in two words: despicable. So Yao Jiang should also be careful; if possible, see if you can walk together with some protesters, with those groups. I am currently standing right next to these two police officers; yes, this is very safe. Later, if I take a taxi back, I'll see if I can call an Uber on a street with police; I don't think these people would act recklessly on U.S. soil, outside of the protest site. My main point is that I hope they don't, don't take the same mode of transportation as I do, that would be better.

I think for them, you see, like these people wearing many grey masks and baseball caps, they are generally responsible for liaison, and they usually carry a black umbrella in their hands, yes, I saw that just now. I think in this regard, it can also be a tool of attack, it can also be a tool of defense, and it can also be a signal for each other's mutual recognition, so these communication methods have already been made very secretive, and for you to have the other side also dispatch so many people to communicate and coordinate, it is almost even impossible to protect these security details, because you have to know that these Chinese middle-aged and elderly people, in fact, are willing to participate in these activities, they should also know that their own safety can be fully guaranteed. Yes, there are certain forces behind them, and their funds are also very abundant, so you can see that the supporters present now are significantly fewer, maybe now they are about the same as the protesters, or even look like they might be slightly fewer than the protesters. These people have taken their luggage and withdrawn, these two look relatively young, it's not very clear from our side, they look like the age of students or international students, now I can still see on the supporters' side, whether there are still people shouting Xi Jinping, it seems like their high-powered loudspeakers have already been withdrawn, I think they basically aren't shouting anymore, anyway I can't hear them, even if they play something it's probably just a recording, I haven't heard any shouting from their own throats. However, the protesters are indeed still very active on this front, their atmosphere has never dropped, but look over here, the large flags are starting to be put away, because I think for them, they actually have a lot of people, and their coordination at every single point, in fact, the cost including the consumption of manpower is very limited, because last night it was actually very late, I thought there wouldn't be any other activities anymore, but when you walk down the street corner, which is where we did our ending yesterday, you could still see them holding red flags, walking back and forth on the main street. Then you say, with this main street being completely deserted, if you were to meet them directly face-to-face, and if they recognized whether you support them or oppose them, wouldn't you feel some kind of, some kind of fear in your heart? It's just because with there being so many people, you might encounter them at any street corner, and you also don't know what kind of understanding they have of you. And the American police, no matter how many of them you run into, they are sitting in police cars or in the middle of the road, if an emergency really happens, whether they can deploy to your side so quickly, I think that cannot be guaranteed either. So a place like DC is not the kind of area with very high population density, especially when it gets to nighttime, you walk down this main street, and maybe there isn't a single person on an entire block, and if it's like this, it's different from New York and places like that. In New York, if you say you're going to beat someone up on the street, you might feel a bit more secure because there are so many people walking right beside you. The thing about DC is that there is simply no way around late at night, around 8:00 or 9:00, basically, downtown DC is already empty.

Oh I see, right now I feel like they seem to be preparing to withdraw. All of them are walking in one direction. Okay, the last one is lining up, and then they are broadcasting songs like "The Five-Star Red Flag is Waving in the Wind". Look, the audience says they are going to the Americas to eat KFC, these people are going to collect their meal money, dinner is served. Sharon also comments, saying that for us supporters, just showing up to stand here is already not bad, it's not like they are here from the bottom of their hearts, and then Hern Lee says they came to eat, indeed they came to eat. And these protesters, of course, their basic demands are all different. They turned back again, I thought they were going to leave, actually no, why are they walking around here in the square as if they are holding a military parade? I thought they were making a turn to withdraw, yes I originally thought they were going to leave but no, they are still filming here. I see, are those people who just stopped you from filming still on the scene or have they already withdrawn? Look, they turned around again and came back, coming to this parade again, maybe this matter is not over yet. So how long can these people actually keep this up? Let's take a look. Speaking of being on the scene, can you still see those people who were surrounding and blocking you? I don't see them for now, but I need to look around because you know I can see behind me, anyway there are people wearing duckbill caps and glasses, because they all have walkie-talkies, meaning if I were to leave, I need to make sure they—if he says this person left from where, will other people appear from other intersections? Because there are many of them, it's very hard to judge their coordination, meaning their coordination can be done very thoroughly. Can you let us show those people behind you that you mentioned? Can you still see them? Sure, I can still see at least three people wearing duckbill caps and masks on my rear side, yes. Look at these, at least the energy of these people waving national flags is very obviously low, kind of like taking a stroll or just chatting casually, you could say it's an atmosphere of collecting meal money. These should all be uncles and aunts, it seems the younger teams have already withdrawn. Look, ahead there is someone wearing purple clothes who should be an American filming up close, probably also a self-media person. Actually, I feel that for these intellectual personnel to just walk in line like this, and then wave the national flags like this, doesn't it feel a bit awkward? At least I have that feeling behind the lens, I don't know if Yaojiang has the same feeling? What is it? It's just feeling that intellectually there is this little bit of an awkward feeling, did you feel it? I think, I think as long as you yourself are not awkward, the ones who feel awkward are others, meaning at this time as long as your inner self is strong enough, especially with so many people, I think the matter of having many people belongs to—even if you do something very awkward, you won't feel awkward. But think about it, once your numbers are small, even if you are doing something you think is taken for granted, because you are facing a much larger crowd-tactics ocean, it's very hard not to feel timid. This is why I say, regarding the matter of courage, the matter of courage really cannot be taught; meaning if you have it, you have it, if you don't, you don't. But sometimes if you've been struck down, it's possible that having it can turn into not having it. Being able to always keep it, and having it go through trials—not the kind of newborn calf not afraid of tigers kind, but being able to stay firm after going through trials—I think that is still few and far between, yeah truly.

It is just that they are being like this right now, and everyone is huddling together for warmth because they are like the other side, like those supporters who are sticking together. There are so many of them, and although these older men and women might be said to have no strength to truss a chicken, that is not necessarily true, because based on the scene I saw last time where they were kicking the coffin, I think they are quite fierce and energetic. Not to mention brave, they have also been tested for bravery. Indeed, Yao Jiang was surrounded by four big men, men who looked so fierce, and was intimidated, but being able to stand here and provide live footage to everyone is also a test of bravery, so thank you, Yao Jiang. Everyone, let's give Yao Jiang a like. It is mainly because I have nowhere else to go. To be honest, I have to stand somewhere relatively close to the police right now. I feel I have a greater sense of security because if the police see—look, their formation has actually been retreating. They were originally in the center, and they have just been retreating. I don't like them targeting behind me; I hope I can see them. So, I also want to find an opportunity to leave here if possible, to temporarily find another place and then readjust. I think it should be almost over on their side; it looks like more and more people are withdrawing. I am wondering, Yao Jiang, is it possible for you to get to the protesters' side through the fence? It is possible that it is safer over there. I mean, can I go over there, and is it possible to leave safely from that side? Because at least here, just as you said, I did look at the camera behind you, and there are indeed people watching and standing there. I also feel some sense of threat at the scene. Let me see. Yes, I feel it is very strange, because I have actually watched many YouTubers doing live streams before, including yesterday, and I have seen them greeting each other. But in this occasion today, I don't know why I haven't seen a single one, the type who does live streaming. Because I think as reporters, it is actually best to stand together, which provides more security. But for this event today, I don't know why, it seems I haven't seen any traditional YouTubers reporting. It is indeed very strange. Just now, everyone might have seen from the camera that when Yao Jiang looked back, there was someone holding a big red flag who kept filming Yao Jiang. Yao Jiang really needs to be careful about safety. If you can run over, if you can go to the protesters' side, see if you can find a few people to help you leave together; that might be the safest way. If you encounter any dangerous situation, just shout out loud. This police officer still has a certain presence; they are basically surrounding this area. In fact, there are also some police behind them, I mean behind the protesters, there are also some police standing here. At least it is safer here. I don't know how they plan to retreat later, because I think their numbers are still very small. Okay, at least we didn't hear too much noise over there, has it quieted down, or was your microphone blown out? It just started to get a little quiet because this is the rear of the opponents, they might have calmed down a bit. The supporters, as you can see now, are on their front left, and they have no intention of dispersing, they are all standing there. Okay, so is there any opponent at the scene who is willing to accept an interview? Because on the supporters' side, you seem to be unable to interview anyone there. Ah, yes, would you like to say a few words? Would you like to say a few words? No, no. Then they started shouting again, and once they shout, you can't hear anything. Hmm, hmm, I understand, I understand. They want to take a group photo, they want to take a group photo, they might also be preparing, I see, I see. They are taking photos quickly, wanting to pass that photo session. Later, if you can find one of them, ask them about their feelings, or I don't know if anyone noticed the scene where those CCP-affiliated people came to surround you, what were their feelings? They might not have noticed; they are focused on protesting here and cannot see that far, because I am currently standing at a considerable distance from them. In front, you can see them taking a group photo here, and the supporter holding the American flag in front has started waving it again at the front, but I don't know if they will wave it away this time, or if they will just turn around and come back again. I believe that as organizers on the CCP side, they must want to come over and crash the scene when they see this kind of picture. However, those people who are holding things, look, at least from a distance, they seem to be in a state of low energy. On the right, we can see a foreign self-media person wearing purple.

Alright, regarding the situation in the US, we just saw the live broadcast from the BBC. This should be a scene at the airport. We can see that a motorcade has just arrived at the airport. This time, it is likely that Xi Jinping will be returning on his own; President Trump probably will not come to see him off. We can see that Xi Jinping's Hongqi car has arrived at the scene. Look, the bodyguards on the side are all running over to open the door for the General Secretary. These could be called human shields, blocking for Xi Jinping. Peng Liyuan is getting out from this side, and Xi Jinping is on the other side. So, President Trump did not come to see him off. At this moment, Xi Jinping is preparing to leave the United States. I think their supporters should be gone. I see them walking further and further away. Well, that is good, it is safer this way. Alright, so how does the environment at the scene feel now? Does it feel a little bit safer, or is safety the priority?

I, I, I don't feel any safer, haha, because I feel that within this, it's just the rpm, right up until leaving this city, you probably have this most intense sense of insecurity. Um, well, still, you've got to watch out for your safety. Fortunately, over on Xi Jinping's side, he is walking toward the airplane—this is live footage from the BBC. Look, the BBC footage was also blocked by a Chinese national flag, sharing the same feeling as Yao Jiang, because not only can they not accept you filming protesters, but actually they also don't want you to film supporters.

I, I, I don't feel any safer, haha, because I feel that within this, it's just the rpm, right up until leaving this city, you probably have this most intense sense of insecurity. Um, well, still, you've got to watch out for your safety. Fortunately, over on Xi Jinping's side, he is walking toward the airplane—this is live footage from the BBC. Look, the BBC footage was also blocked by a Chinese national flag, sharing the same feeling as Yao Jiang, because not only can they not accept you filming protesters, but actually they also don't want you to film supporters. Because I feel that back then when I was actually filming the supporters directly with the camera, they were also unhappy, because there is an issue within this: you are bound to capture a sense of confrontation between the two sides, and what they want is a purely welcoming atmosphere, meaning a total welcome without any discordant noise. With voices rising and falling on both sides—one side shouting long live, the other side shouting step down—no matter how you portray this, they will feel it's a negative message. Therefore, these people who just swarmed and blocked you, doing so so aggressively, firstly, perhaps their hearts are truly wicked, and secondly, it might be because they need to protect their own livelihoods; if filming were to continue fully like this, perhaps they wouldn't have jobs when they went back.

Well, hopefully—I don't know if there's any solution to this—let's see whether we should take screenshots of those who swarmed and harassed Yao Jiang to see if we can report it to the police, because those really are threatening behaviors, and it felt very much like they were agents of China. And as agents of the Chinese Communist Party on U.S. soil, you need to register and report that; if you haven't reported to the U.S. government while acting as agents of the Chinese Communist Party, you will face legal penalties. Many viewers and friends are saying to revoke and strip away their green cards. Indeed, on U.S. soil, speaking up for the Chinese Communist Party is okay, but threatening people for the Chinese Communist Party—threatening journalists and free media—is absolutely unacceptable. The problem is that there is a boundary here; they can say, "I'm just filming you with my phone too." But when you film with your phone while three people surround you in positions where you completely cannot move to the left or right, that's why later the female police officer came out to intervene. Initially she said you could film them and they could film you, but later she realized there were more of them and then she started stopping them—yes, getting very close.

I think it was still a very weak form of obstruction, but I still felt a sense of intimidation. After all, there were quite a few of them, they were all male, and suddenly three or four swarmed around. Even if he didn't touch me, by closing in on me, I felt it was already a threat. I just saw two people apparently touch you—one used an umbrella to prop against your phone, and another directly reached out with his hand to block your phone. That was a very terrifying scene. There was a hand that blocked the phone's lens very briefly, just shielding it and blocking it, but reaching out... I feel he actually knew this meeting wouldn't stop the broadcast, and that you would still continue filming and broadcasting. The reason his hand blocked it for even just a second when he wanted to block it—the fundamental reason, I feel, is still that he wanted to take action, still wanted to have an offensive gesture, creating a certain psychological fear in you, even though he knew he didn't actually snatch away my phone. This whole process would still continue. Indeed, indeed, looking at these people, they are still a bit conservative, but you could see their inner desire—to directly suppress dissenting voices or silence journalists—written all over their faces. Especially those few individuals, I don't know, Yao Jiang probably noticed it too, but the looks in those people's eyes were one by one extremely, extremely sinister.

Well, as Xi Jinping has already boarded the plane, this plane is probably preparing to take off and leave the United States. So, Xi Jinping's visit to the United States has basically come to an end, and the protesters at the scene look like they are about to disperse. Yes, well, I wonder if we can find an opportunity to ask the protesters to summarize their feelings about protesting today or over the past few days. Let's see... If you feel safe, where are your organizers, or you are dressed as Winnie the Pooh, how do you evaluate this protest today? It's so disgusting. What happened? Because when our people put the flag up on that material, the Little Pinks brought their flags over, took their flagpoles, and then started bumping into our flagpoles, attempting to throw our flagpoles down. But later they were pulled apart by the police, and then when we placed our things here, the people over there started continuously saying vulgarities and then cursing at us, hoping that we would... because they made the first move here, trying to block us, attempting to make us go down, to make us touch people first. We kept telling them, "Listen to us, make these people let us go down quickly." And just now, I saw them, those Xuzhou people walking back and forth here, and now it's time, they should be handing out boxed meals in the front. Whenever they see those plastic bags containing boxed meals inside... I heard you guys say you are leaving as a group. Is it because you're afraid for your safety?

Yes, because look at how the people they called today are... having police around is fine, but once there are no police, you don't know if a group of people will come and surround you alone. Earlier when people were leaving in large numbers, a netizen was beaten by a man, and then a bunch of people rushed up. When the police went over, they scattered, just gathering around you individually, hitting you a few times, and quickly leaving. Did someone get beaten just now? Yes, he even took a video just now. Where is he? Is he still at the scene? In the white clothes. Oh, this needs to be talked about too. It seems he was interviewed yesterday. Yes, he should be in tech. He might have been swarmed just now. Were you swarmed just now? I was swarmed. Oh, how so? Just now, Xi Jinping's motorcade came from over there to visit this memorial hall, the archive's motorcade, and it happened to pass right in front of us. So I filmed the footage of their motorcade passing by. Today, the Pink leader protesting at this scene—the Pink leaders supporting Xi Jinping—there was a guy wearing a white hat, a mask, and sunglasses. He approached me and suddenly slammed into me like that. That person really... I feel like either he has a military background or is very strong. Immediately, five or six of their people quickly jumped toward me, and I was... Were you up here on this platform or down at the bottom?

I was over there by the railing, taking videos. Oh, you had already walked over to that black barricade, right? Yes, yes, I only walked over there to be able to film. Yes, but that was already very close to their group. You had basically entered their group. I was indeed inside their group. Oh, are there regulations regarding this? What do the police say? Can the two sides' groups walk into each other? The police are there to maintain order, trying to keep your two sides separated. They still have to keep them separated. Just now, because Xi Jinping's motorcade was about to come, they were originally in a standoff with us, walking over there and getting close to the railing. So the police probably thought they were going to disperse, and at that time, they relaxed a bit. We had some crossover with their people at that time, so I started recording over there. How do you plan to get back later? How? Are you guys taking a plane? You flew from California. You know we're from California. I seem to remember you mentioning it before, like last time at the business representative event, I seemed to hear you mention it briefly. So you were there that day? Right, don't you remember?

Just now, I was saying... just now when we were fighting... wait, at that time we were right here, demonstrating, and their group's front went over to the opposite side, raising those red flags over the railing. Right, and as soon as I saw that, knowing there must be a motorcycle motorcade in front, I quickly looked for our flag. At that moment, I took a flag from a buddy's hand—the symbol on it was the Anti-Communist Alliance, you know? Then I raised this flag. At that time, the flag was already raised to the highest point because the opponents were in that position. I immediately ran to that position, finished setting up my flag, extended it past the railing, extended it past the railing, and waved it there. But in a very short amount of time, a large number of people rushed over from me. By the time I noticed, someone came up and grabbed my flagpole, grabbed my flagpole, and then started tugging the flagpole back. While I was tugging the flagpole back, five or six people came from behind, reaching out their hands to beat me. But at that moment, the police immediately stepped forward and stopped them, blocking them. I want to ask, did you guys record a video of getting beaten just now? Not sure, maybe not recorded, right?

There was a video yesterday, right? There is no video for today, I didn't watch it, so I didn't come. Yes, I missed it. I haven't filmed anything these past few days. I still have a video in post-production. As for the face-to-face part, there is only yesterday's video, which means there is no today's. Today's might not have been filmed. Do you still need yesterday's? I didn't see it here today. You don't know this corner; this corner is very high up. I filmed a segment yesterday, yeah, that's how it is. They did a segment yesterday, and then we have other people. Actually, sometimes they provoke you, deliberately creating situations to make you clash with them, and then behind your back, they say, 'You need to help me break the handle and crush this rainbow.' That scene was the most intense. They are now trying to take away these high-decibel loudspeakers and such. They want to see if these people can help send you off; that would be safer. But I feel they are going to the airport. They seem to be mostly from California. Let me ask, you are going back to California, right? Yes, they basically... Hello, these 2,000-watt speakers, Xi Jinping is over there, around the corner, but when their dozens of vehicles passed by, the people welcoming them, their speakers were very small. Their brains are... let me hear clearly, they want to hold our speakers and attack us. They have a responsibility. This time, we are quite grateful for the help the police gave us in the front and back. I believe Xi Jinping also heard us telling him to step down, telling the CCP to step down. President Trump and his friends have also heard all of this. Our expression has already told the whole world that the CCP dictator, the human rights criminal, he cannot come to the United States. The United States, for democracy, freedom, and human rights, cannot be bullied. This is just a few days of fighting. We are prepared to exert ourselves to let the CCP, to let the whole world, to let the Chinese people who have been suddenly suppressed, hear our voice. This visit to the US by the CCP is a shameful, dejected, and embarrassing trip. Do you have anything else to ask?

Not for now. Please wait a moment. You are going back to California later, right? Back to New York. Back to New York? Are you going back to New York? I'll stay in New York for a while, then go back to California. Oh, I see, I see. Then I won't talk to you for now. I'll do this first, is that okay? No, I was talking to the people on my livestream. Let's pause for a moment, okay? No problem, no problem. OK, alright, thank you Yaojiang, bye-bye.

Alright, we see this is the live broadcast Yaojiang gave us. Indeed, this livestream today is, I mean, at least for the first time, a broadcast where I felt worried for Yaojiang, because when those men came over, it was indeed on American soil, which is a territory with free media, right? To be able to act so wantonly and carry out these actions, having these threats that make people feel unsafe and instill fear—this is something I have seen in similar videos back in China, but this is the first time it has happened to someone I am so close to, and a colleague, being treated this way directly. So I also feel a sense of injustice in my heart, and I also hope that Yaojiang can find someone on the scene to see if he can return with them to his location, because as you can see, some protesters on the spot were also saying they were quite scared, and some people in that group have already been beaten. So these people are truly capable of any evil, one could say. And the person who was interviewed just now should be Jie Lijian, who is also a quite famous dissident. It looks like he was shouting very hard at the time. Jie Lijian is also doing a livestream now, but looking at his live scene, it should be in a stopped state now.

Alright, at this moment we can see that Xi Jinping's plane is preparing; it might still be a while before takeoff. Now, let me show you some videos from this morning and last night. Please wait a moment. I also want to thank the audience friends who have been supporting our channel these past few days and providing support to Yao Yao. Actually, there were some clips from this morning that we didn't see, specifically the part where Xi Jinping and Trump were having tea, so I will show you that part. Afterward, there are a few other scenes, including one from early this morning where the group China Action—the projection group—projected protests in front of the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C. As a result, they were attacked with umbrellas by Chinese embassy staff; they were also holding umbrellas, exactly like the people who were blocking Yao Jiang just now. There were also some rather humorous actions by some protesters; one of the video titles is 'Xi Jinping was hit,' so let's see what that is. Finally, I will briefly go over the menu from the White House state dinner last night for everyone to see. Alright, first let's take a look at this—wait a moment, Xi Jinping's plane looks like it's preparing for takeoff. Okay, let's keep this frame here, and let's look at some of the missed footage from the White House this morning. First, this should be the scene of President Trump welcoming Xi Jinping; this is the welcome ceremony. Below is a scene from when they were having tea inside. Mainly the flight path: we went from here to Russia, then Alaska, Canada, we went to Russia, Alaska, Canada, and then into U.S. airspace. This is a very fast route, a very fast route. Thank you everyone, everyone, we are from two beautiful, we are from two beautiful people, we all enjoyed it, we enjoyed it, we enjoyed it, we all enjoyed it.

We all enjoyed it. Thank you to all the media friends for your very fair and impartial reporting. It can be said that this time, we have had a historic state visit, welcoming two truly remarkable figures, and it has been a great success, with significant progress made in China-U.S. relations. I am very grateful to the respected President Trump and the First Lady for providing me and my wife with the highest courtesies and the most prominent arrangements. Our visit has been very successful, and we feel very satisfied. President Trump and I can be said to be steering the ship of China-U.S. relations. When the President visited China in May, we defined China-U.S. relations as a constructive, strategic, and stable relationship. This time, we have expanded its content; we define China-U.S. relations as a constructive, strategic, and stable relationship based on mutual respect, fairness, and equality. Therefore, we see an even brighter future for China-U.S. relations. We expect two more meetings with the President this year: one at the APEC meeting to be held in China, and another at the G20 summit to be held in the United States. We welcome the President and the First Lady to visit China. Looking ahead to the remainder of this year, there will be two more opportunities for us to meet each other, firstly the APEC meeting in China, and then the G20 summit in the United States. I do welcome you Mr. President and the First Lady to visit China. Thank you very much, thank you very much. Yes, indeed, I am looking forward to more meetings with the Chairman. We do have many opportunities to meet this year, and we will have many more chances for exchange. American farmers must be very satisfied with the results of this state visit, because it can be said that many positive things have already happened. The American people are happy, and the Chinese people are also happy. Our two countries can be said to be moving in a better direction, and we have conducted a constructive state visit. Thank you very much everybody. Thank you very much.

Well, at the same time we can see that Xi Jinping's plane has already taken off, so he is now officially leaving the United States—at least American soil. It will still take a while to fly out of U.S. airspace. So this action surrounding Xi Jinping's visit to the U.S. has now completely come to an end. Well, let's take a look at some scenes from early this morning. Early this morning, as well as late last night, there were scenes of protesters clashing with personnel from the Chinese Communist Party. Well, this should be the China Movement, their action protest group launched a protest in front of the Chinese Embassy in the United States in Washington, where they were attacked with umbrellas by personnel from the Chinese Embassy. Well, the people wearing yellow clothes are all personnel from the Chinese Communist Party, who are paid and even... Wait a minute, this is some music from BBC. Well, then let's take a look at this music from the evening of September 24, which is also a scene outside the Chinese Embassy where protesters were attacked by Chinese personnel. Someone said, "This is my property, you can't take it, you can't touch it." Well, look, this person just hit someone again with a stick; this is indeed a violent act. Are you a man? You hit everyone. What's wrong with your face? He tried to hit me. I don't know, I saw it all on camera, come, come, come, go. Come here, they all hit me, they all hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me. Hit what? Hit me, hit me, hit me, there's a play. Look at him, look at him, look at him, look at him. Look at this person's face, look at this person's face. Look at this person's face, look at this person's face. Look at this person's face, look. Here we can see these Chinese Communist Party personnel showing the same kind of violence. Take pictures quickly, take pictures quickly, take pictures quickly, take pictures quickly. Take pictures quickly. Is anyone injured? Is anyone injured? Yes, yes, yes. Well, take pictures, take pictures. Take pictures, take pictures. What are you doing with your five o'clock, buddy? They got paid and still... Well, this is the same as the previous video, just more complete. Well, and this is the protest action carried out by the China Movement. Now, this next video looks like yesterday's video where a Xi Jinping doll was beaten. Let's take a look. So this doll, this model of Xi Jinping, is actually of quite high quality, because you can see when it gets hit, it shakes, it's quite stylish. So this completely looks like something a boxing gym would use. Wow, it's still very high quality. But yesterday at the scene we didn't actually see it. Well, let's see who... Someone said these people don't dare to show their faces, what's that about? Of course, these people didn't come out of their own free will to do this—to help the Chinese Communist Party carry out these coercive actions. Furthermore, these people being masked also know that what they are doing is nothing honorable, so covering their faces is completely, completely normal. They just bully others using their backing, but they are also afraid of being bullied by others, so they don't have an ounce of so-called justice. Well, at the end of the program, if there are no other events happening, I will show you all last night's banquet. Even American reporters weren't able to go in to take a look. But at least we can show you what Xi Jinping actually drank and ate at the White House banquet last night. Everyone can also recall the banquets in China. I remember when China hosted Trump, there were between ten and over twenty dishes, which was extremely grand, a state that could be described as godly. But in the United States, before the meal, there was an opening toast. This is one—my pronunciation is not that great—Schramsberg Blanc de Noir sparkling wine. This wine has a special meaning because during Nixon's visit to China in 1972, Zhou Enlai and he held a famous peace toast, and the wine they used back then was this exact one, Schramsberg Blanc de Noir. So this time, it should actually be a gesture by the White House recalling the ice-breaking in US-China relations during Nixon's visit to China in 1972. It is possible that Trump also hopes to use this move to perhaps cool down US-China relations a bit. So this is the wine. Next, let's take a look at their appetizer. The appetizer is Yellow squash velouté. It should be French, I'm not entirely sure. But their dish is not the exact one in this photo, though the one in the photo is a yellow squash velouté. However, at the White House, that soup was served with wild mushrooms and crispy—which should be bacon and scallion oil. So that is the appetizer. As for the main course, it is sesame crusted sea bass, served with braised baby bok choy, roasted eggplant, and green herbs. Now, in this photo, I just found a stock picture, which is a photo of a sesame-crusted sea bass. We haven't found the photo from last night's dinner yet, but we might broadcast it for you on Monday's US Trending program. So that is the main course. Finally, we see the dessert they ate. The dessert is vanilla custard with White House honey ice cream, served with walnut kernels, butter cream, and sour cherry jam.

The ice cream uses honey produced in-house by the White House. I didn't even know the White House produced its own honey, but it makes sense. The tableware was also quite particular; although there are no on-site photos, it is reported that the porcelain used last night was the same state dinner porcelain from the era of President Reagan. The tablecloths and flowers were predominantly red. The White House said they chose red because of its special significance in Chinese culture. This is pretty much what they ate last night at the White House. And we can see that all the scenes are basically wrapped up. Our team doesn't have any brand-new news either. So ultimately, we still hope that Yao Jiang can safely leave DC, because the situation with the the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) over there is indeed massive. They used money to hire people, and we can also see these CCP thugs freely enforcing the law on U.S. soil. So I really hope the American police and American law enforcement personnel can at least take some measures so that independent media workers who are normally filming the news, like us, won't be intimidated by them. Because I really feel a bit angry about this matter. Looking at the audience's perspective, they also feel this unfair state for Yao Jiang. So thank you everyone for your support. Later, I will get in touch with Yao Jiang again to ensure he is safe. After that, I also hope everyone will give more support to our channel, especially supporting Yao Jiang. In these 3 days of efforts and actions, he has been extremely hardworking. At the scene, under such a dangerous state, even though threatened by others, he still insisted on staying on the spot to film these scenes for everyone, and even managed to film these CCP leaders and their thugs right in front of them without backing down. I think this is also something worthy of everyone's support and praise. Alright, I see today's broadcast ends here. Thank you to all the audience and friends for your support.
