9/24 State Banquet Live Broadcast: Trump's Welcome, Rebels' Protest

The video live-streamed and compiled the welcoming ceremony, White House state banquet, and speeches by the leaders of China and the US regarding Xi Jinping's visit to Washington on September 24, 2026, while also documenting the on-site activities of anti-communist activists, pro-communist groups, and Tibetan protesters. Several conflicts broke out on the scene, with some individuals pepper-sprayed and taken away by police; the Democratic Party of China stated that 5 people were arrested. The video also introduced supporters receiving boxed meals, security around the White House, and journalists filming on site.

So today we are going to look at a welcoming ceremony. This is President Trump receiving Xi Jinping to this banquet area, after which they will hold a closed-door meeting, and then afterward they will come out to give a few speeches, which both Xi Jinping and Trump will do.

Because the welcoming ceremony is officially starting now, this should be relatively short, so let's take a quick look. After this meeting, about an hour later, we will see Xi Jinping and Trump both come out to deliver their respective speeches and remarks. What will they talk about during this meeting? Many speculate it will be trade, and issues concerning Taiwan will also be discussed. What the outcome of the discussion will be, and whether it will be brought out in the subsequent press conference, we will have to wait and see.

Now we have an hour, so during this hour, I will show you what happened throughout today. First, what happened with the groups supporting the Communist Party, and then what happened with the anti-communist groups, and we did see some conflicts between the two sides. This morning, we talked about some of the locations, but those locations were still relatively peaceful and nothing happened. However, in other areas, we saw other vloggers and people recording with their phones capturing some quite dramatic scenes.

First, if everyone remembers a scene witnessed firsthand yesterday, anti-communist activists made a coffin themselves with anti-CCP slogans written on it, which was then kicked and destroyed by some elderly people who support the CCP and are pro-communist. So it looks like today they made another one to send to the White House. Let's take a look.

Now this is assembling Xi Jinping's coffin, which will be burned in a moment. Coffin, coffin, coffin, yes, Xi Jinping will be infamous for ten thousand years. Good, good. Now this is assembling Xi Jinping's coffin, which will be burned in a moment. Coffin, coffin, coffin, yes, Xi Jinping will be infamous for ten thousand years. Looking at this coffin, it was fixed even after being kicked apart.

The next one is a rather tense scene, one that I believe would completely never be seen inside China, and that is right on the scene in Washington, Peng Liyuan appeared. The Chinese democratic groups and Little Pinks—the democratic groups were protesting outside, and as a result, they were attacked by some CCP Pinks, and the scene was extremely tense. We should have a total of three videos of this scene, so let's take a look.

In the background, we can all hear the chants of "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome," but at the same time, we also see many voices of opposition and resistance mixed in. These two groups of people are all together, so it looked like a brawl broke out on site. Wow, this fight is quite fierce. Someone rushed up—it should be a police officer, or perhaps SWAT police, wearing different gear—and separated the two people, and one of them was caught.

Let's look at this video from another perspective. This video claims that when Peng Liyuan came out of the art museum, she was attacked by CCP agents. No, excuse me, it wasn't Peng Liyuan who was attacked; it was these members of the Democracy Party of China who were attacked by Chinese agents and sprayed with pepper spray while waiting for Peng Liyuan to emerge. So, let's take a look at this conflict from another angle.

This must be a shot from earlier on. The person holding the camera seems to be shouting "Down with Xi Jinping," and then the group of Little Pinks supporting the CCP begins to push toward him. We can see a police officer in the middle maintaining order. The person below is being arrested. I just saw that person holding two national flags backing away, I don't know why, so he was using his body to push the protester. However, he was still wearing a Target bag.

We should have one last video to look at from this angle. I didn't see any pepper spray being used just now, but that certainly doesn't mean it didn't happen. Look, the police were telling the pro-CCP supporters to move back, and from this angle, you can see that some people were indeed sprayed with pepper spray. Returning to the shot of those two people earlier, although we didn't see anyone being sprayed, their eyes were swollen and red, which clearly indicates that pepper spray was indeed used.

In this situation, if pepper spray is used without cause, it could potentially be a criminal offense. You can see the police also arrested a few people, although I couldn't clearly see which group they belonged to, but perhaps we will have more news later. After all, when the U.S. police make arrests, there is usually some kind of report.

This is the CCP—or rather, the police—arresting someone from a certain group. Although I can't clearly see which camp he belongs to, the tweet implies that this person supports the CCP. However, if anyone has more definitive information, please feel free to share. Another person was arrested behind them.

In the background, there is a person wearing a Winnie the Pooh costume, saying, "Don't stand on the grass, don't stand on the grass." Thank you. Thank you. Off the grass. Thank you. Back up, back up. And these must be the agents; those wearing police uniforms are likely police. However, there were two women earlier wearing suits who seemed to be Secret Service.

An anti-CCP protester is shouting for calm and also chanting the slogan "Communist Party step down." You haven't seen who actually started this conflict yet, but based on the videos we've seen all along, usually, whenever any violent incident breaks out, it is the pro-CCP side that initiates the action. However, in this specific case, we have no evidence of who started the conflict.

"No violence, no violence." Everyone can look at the equipment of these American police and compare it with the equipment of the Chinese police; you can see the differences. Then the police said, "Okay, no problem, no problem." This part is likely saying that it's fine for them to stand here, it's fine to stand here. Wow, this scene is quite something.

For the next video, let me see... it is written: "Huang Shengyun on-site, member of the Democracy Party of China, founder of the China Assembly, founding voter. This is Ms. Cai Xiaoli, who scolded numerous CCP Little Pinks alone. Facing the siege of the Little Pinks, she showed no fear." This might be the protest scene involving Peng Liyuan from earlier; let's take a look.

Yes, they are more inclined to use their hands and snatch mobile phones. Of course, in China, if you stand on the side of power, you can snatch mobile phones at will. But here in the United States, you cannot just snatch other people's property.

The next one should be a closer shot of the conflict. The tweet says: "Old Little Pink is furious." This is a video posted by Indie News. Let's take a look. You can see he is wearing a red badge around his neck, so we know he is a member of the pro-CCP team. Oh, wow, a flurry of punches. This must be the cause of the driving-away scene we saw earlier. Some people say this is a lightning dance or something? It looks quite similar, the moves are quite like it.

We see the cause of this incident. Moving on, so we saw some people saying that CCP agents were beating people. Although I don't know if those people in front were agents, what about the people below? We see this is Inconvenient Truth, Jennifer Zeng Report, and she says it's an exclusive: a large number of suspected CCP public security, police, and security personnel have appeared in Washington.

This is a video from yesterday, filmed by Falun Gong friends who were protesting. In the video, at the scene of the protest against Xi Jinping in Washington, many young men in identical clothing appeared, all dressed in black, wearing masks, each holding an umbrella. An umbrella, they each have an umbrella in their hands. This is usually something the CCP uses—you could say they are the equivalent of the U.S. Secret Service—they all carry umbrellas; it's part of their attire.

We see what the tweet says, so let's judge our own discernment and see if these people really look like Chinese agents, or security guards, or police. These people are indeed dressed very uniformly. Look, the jackets are all like this. At least the two on the left in jackets have a very similar style, both grey.

However, looking at their attitude and their sunglasses, they do indeed have the style of police or perhaps security personnel. But at the same time, you have to look at them; one of them looks very young. Not the three who just walked over, I mean the last young man on the right; he looks a bit too young, perhaps not quite like an agent of the CCP. But those guys on the left wearing grey clothes and sunglasses look a bit more like it.

Audience friends, what do you think? Do they look like these CCP police? You can leave a comment in the section below.

Moving on, this is a foreign blogger... oh, not a foreign blogger, this is a video forwarded by Laura Hearth and filmed by Wang Songlian. This video is in English, so I can explain it to you a bit as we go. This is a video about anti-CCP individuals being violently treated by pro-CCP individuals.

What happened today was not just a protest. After Xi Jinping landed in Washington DC, 12 anti-CCP individuals protested against Xi Jinping's motorcade on a bridge. We were exercising our rights; we were protesting peacefully, but we were treated violently. These people grabbed our hands, grabbed our feet, grabbed our flags, and stopped our protest. They snatched our flags from our hands.

At the same time, Xi Jinping's motorcade passed under the bridge. However, despite this, we still successfully waved our national flags and our banners. These people who support the Communist Party had a plan to interfere with us. One person said they could not be arrested because he had diplomatic immunity. This directly indicates that these people came directly from China and were sent by China, which is why he said he had this diplomatic immunity. They were sent to stop and intimidate us, to stop us from protesting. This is an example of transnational execution and transnational law enforcement. But they did not succeed, and we will make our voices heard by others. Wherever Xi Jinping goes, we will continue to protest. He said 'Dictatorship,' so it is the dictator Xi Jinping.

Moving on, we come to some interactions with pro-CCP groups—I can't call it an interview, just some interaction with the pro-CCP crowd. This is something a pro-CCP person said to a petitioner. If you can't hear the video, I can tell you what was said: 'You have the freedom to oppose the CCP, but you only have the freedom to support the CCP.' Then he was pulled away by his organizer. If this were in China, he would probably be sentenced for incitement.

I think this old gentleman has a point. Actually, one should talk to this old gentleman because he said everyone has their own rights. But the problem is that this old gentleman basically made a mistake, because in the United States, you can indeed support the Communist Party or not support it; but in China, you have no right to oppose, or even to not support, the Communist Party.

So in this context, the logic of this person supporting the CCP doesn't really hold up. But at least he was willing to come over and talk; at least he was willing to communicate. So I think, among all these groups supporting the CCP, you might have a better chance of telling an elderly person like this about your own experiences. Because we heard these protesters say that the Communist Party took away our assets, and then he said he understood that too. So this old man is actually quite decent, still okay, a phenomenon that is teachable.

Let's keep moving. The next one should be some pro-CCP teams, people who were likely invited, being interacted with on the road by some anti-CCP individuals. Let's see, a conflict occurred. But look at the one in the middle right, the person in the brown jacket, he walked away. Look, he stopped suddenly, maybe his green card is gone, and then he started walking forward vigorously.

In this situation, I'm not entirely clear on the law. But if you are working for another country, working for another country on U.S. soil, you are actually supposed to register as an agent of the CCP. But the question is, if you are recruiting others, the people who were recruited to welcome them, I don't quite understand if you did that advertisement.

But if you are organizing people on behalf of the CCP to welcome Xi Jinping, this should actually count as being an agent executing tasks for the CCP. So in this case, if you didn't report it, you would indeed run into big trouble. The United States has also had many cases recently of finding people working for the CCP, agents in the United States.

Let's look at the next one, this is the protesters' behavior at the scene. A viewer is commenting on the previous video, about those people wearing sunglasses, masks, and grey clothes, saying 'It's clear at a glance that they are gang thugs, you don't even need to think about it, it's too obvious,' it's just a certain style, a certain style.

This Dixon said they were wearing police communication devices on their chests, which I didn't notice. Let's see if we can find that video from just now. I'm here. He said there was a police communication device pinned to his chest, which seems to be the man on the right. No, it should just be a logo on his clothes. Let's take a look. I didn't see whether they had anything pinned to their chests; maybe this netizen was talking about someone else, or perhaps I missed it.

Qusimei said: "Anti-communist people are being violently treated by pro-communist people. Since that's the case, why can't it be the other way around? Isn't this America?" Actually, precisely because this is America, you can't just attack people as you please. Because in China, if someone with power or a police officer hits you, it might just be brushed aside. But in America, if you hit someone without any reason, you will be sued by the law.

However, if someone is going to hit you, in certain states you are allowed to fight back, and in some states it is even permitted to use relatively fierce force and great strength to strike back. Still, different states may have different understandings of how much force you can use when defending yourself.

Well, next we should be entering. Wait a minute, before looking at these protests by anti-communist individuals, let's take a look at this box lunch collection—that is, a scene where the pro-communist supporters are collecting their box lunches. Dining has begun: getting paid, distributing money, eating. This is a video of eating box lunches.

Speaking of eating box lunches, actually, Yao Jiang was doing reporting on the scene today, doing journalism, and saw many scenes of people supporting the CCP eating box lunches, so let's take a look at the box lunch scene filmed by Yao Jiang. I'll mute this sound for a moment because there might be copyright issues. Everyone is eating box lunches, and it looks quite appetizing. Eating away, really... Just like that, like that. Take a look once more, look at this time, come on, it wasn't a wasted trip, the box lunches are here, eating box lunches.

Actually, these people are quite pathetic. I really feel that you shouldn't bother them or say bad things about them. They're eating box lunches here, and you still have to stand around, eating across from a table, while some are sitting on the ground eating. Look at this person right here, it's not easy for them, standing here for 5 hours straight, what's wrong with them eating a little food?

Alright, then just as Yao Jiang said, let's not mock them for eating box lunches. Speaking of now, actually Yao Jiang also filmed a live scene today; this should be a video he shot after our morning connection, so I'll show it to everyone. It's about 5 minutes long in total, let's watch Yao Jiang's on-site video.

As you can see, the entire White House area has been surrounded by black fences today, so these welcoming crowds can only stay outside. Loudspeakers are currently playing, I don't know if everyone can hear: "Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome." And they suddenly became very excited, because they were originally sitting and eating, but now it's 12:00 PM. I don't know if they suddenly received a signal that there's some movement, for example, Chairman Xi is coming out. Is he coming out?

All these gates are closed, and they can only stand outside the road. Originally this gate was closed, so why did they suddenly become so excited? It's because the gate was closed at first, and the surrounding area was tightly surrounded by these black barriers with no way through, but now the gate suddenly opened, so they instantly got excited. Not knowing what is going to happen, right now I only hear the loudspeakers playing: "Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome." We can play a game and see how many people among these supporters are playing with their phones.

I see that this scene is indeed quite large. Chairman Xi hasn't even come out yet, and they've been shouting "warm welcome" for so long. Now the crowd and audience members are also arguing a bit; I see someone named Cole or something arguing with this Qusimei. But here I really have to chime in, because this Cole doesn't have very good language skills, saying is eating good in the U.S.? You have the guts to come back to the mainland and see what we eat.

So we prepared some videos just now, which will be broadcasted to everyone on our U.S. trending search program. Indeed, if you want to talk about what people eat in the mainland, if it's the worst food, actually there's only this. This is one, and let's take a look, this is gutter oil. Not only gutter oil, but also dipping right into the gutter, getting the oil right there in the middle before it enters the sewer. Besides this, there is formaldehyde cabbage, tech-infused whatever-you-have.

So to this viewer, a Pink viewer I suppose, it's not that we don't have the guts to go to the mainland, we just want to see what you guys eat. But sometimes, if you really look at all the news, formaldehyde cabbage, sulfur bamboo shoots, and all kinds of other messy things, you really might not have the guts to eat those things. A bet is a bet, if you chickened out, you chickened out.

Alright, let's return to all the protest scenes. Next, let's take a look at some of the events that the protesters and anti-communist individuals are doing. There should be a series of videos here, let's observe them.

Let's continue watching more live stream scenes. This is one that Yao Wangjiang interviewed this morning, a person dressed like Xi Jinping. Wow, his mask is also very realistic. This person dressed like an emperor, he has another angle, I don't seem to have lined up, so let's look at another protester. These are all Chinese shoes cut open with scissors, suddenly black, and dragging on the ground.

Wait a minute, just now that should have been a video of the banquet. Okay, let's return to this White House banquet scene and show it to everyone. I don't know if he brought his own translator this time, so I might need to translate this time.

“It is a great honor, Chairman Xi, and the Chinese delegation, the First Lady and I are very pleased to welcome you to the White House. You are some truly outstanding people. The way the Chinese people are hospitable was fully demonstrated when I visited China a few months ago this year.”

“It is a great honor, thank you everyone.” Okay, he has his own translator, so I won't need to show off my clumsy skills here.

“A long time ago, European explorers looking for a new route to the East in China first discovered the American continent. This quest created the modern world and this beautiful country, and eventually gave birth to the lasting friendship between the peoples of China and the United States, which is the friendship we are celebrating tonight.”

East and West eventually did meet here in America when the first formal delegation of Chinese diplomats came to the United States 158 years ago. In Boston, they met American thinkers like Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. In New York, they met with the president, and in Washington, they came to Washington for the first state dinner, for China and the United States.

East and West eventually met in America thereafter. 158 years ago, the first formal Chinese diplomatic mission visited the United States. In Boston, they met American thinkers such as Emerson and Thoreau; in New York, they had dinner with governors, mayors, and Wall Street giants; and when they arrived in Washington, they came to the White House to attend the first state dinner between China and the United States.

Tonight we relive the spirit of that initial encounter on American soil, with contemporary top leaders from the business, cultural, and political circles. On the one hand, China carries thousands of years of history and tradition, from Sun Tzu all to Sun Yat-sen; while what Americans have inherited is the faith tradition originating from Jerusalem and Rome, the democracy of ancient Athens, the military achievements of Sparta, and the freedom declared in Philadelphia 250 years ago.

As the leaders of our two nations, President Xi and I both understand that we represent different systems. But the ties between our people endure, and we've never gotten along better since the first trade ships from New York left the harbor to arrive on the banks of the Pearl River. Americans and Chinese have always exchanged goods, knowledge, customs and ideas. This has been the foundation of commerce and mutual respect between our countries. And together we can continue to build a relationship that promotes prosperity and security for future generations.

As the leaders of both countries, President Xi and I both understand that we represent different systems, but the bonds between the peoples of both countries have endured, and our relationship is better than ever. Ever since the first merchant ships left the port of New York and arrived on the banks of the Pearl River, the peoples of the United States and China have been trading goods, passing on knowledge, customs, and ideas to each other. This is the foundation of commerce and mutual respect between the two countries. We should join hands to continue to cultivate this relationship and bring prosperity and security to future generations.

I'm going to speak off the cuff now, I must speak off the cuff. All the hosts have built these people. I can tell you, if we had these people today, we would have thousands more, just standing firm. There are 145 of these people, and they have all built these people, so they have all built these people, all built these people. All the hosts, they will have these people. So after the honor, you will have the original people, and what we will do is what these people have done.

maybe after we're finished with the entertainment tonight, anybody wants to walk into a construction site that's nice and clean and sparkling, it's our honor to have you do so. But this is an honor of President Xi, Madam Peng.

President Xi, Madam Peng, behind us is a curtain, and behind that curtain is the way to our brand-new banquet hall. It can be said that for the past 150 years, many presidents have hoped to build this, but none have succeeded. Once completed, this banquet hall will be able to accommodate over 1,000 guests. It is a pity that our current meeting room can only hold 140 people, but once completed, that banquet hall will be able to accommodate many, many more. So, after we finish dinner and the performance is over, I would like to invite President Xi and Madam Peng to step behind our curtain to take a look at the construction site we have cleaned up, and see how magnificent it is inside.

In the spirit of this friendship, I am honored to present a gift to President Xi. This gift comes from an outstanding American artist, arguably one of the best artists today, and was personally designed with the participation of Melania and myself. The bald eagle, also known as the American eagle, is the national symbol of the United States, embodying the spirit of American freedom soaring high. We hope it can be placed in a place of honor in Beijing.

President Xi, Madam Peng, Melania and I thank you both for visiting the United States on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. Now I propose that we all raise our glasses to pay tribute to President Xi and Madam Peng, and to toast to the deep friendship between China and the United States that spans thousands of miles and hundreds of years. May the people of both countries have a better, more harmonious, and more peaceful future. Let us pay tribute to you.

Thank you. And now I'd like to ask President Xi to come up and say a few words. Thank you all very much. Thank you.

Next, I would like to invite President Xi to come up and deliver a speech.

Thank you all. Respected President Trump and Ms. Melania, ladies and gentlemen, friends, thank you President Trump and Ms. Melania for the warm reception and thoughtful arrangements you have provided for me and my wife. Mr. President and your wife have made many special arrangements for this visit, which reflect meticulousness and care in every detail, making us feel right at home. Here, I would like to extend my sincere greetings to all people from all walks of life in the United States who care about and support the development of China-US relations.

At this very moment, the Chinese people are celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival. In Chinese tradition, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of reunion. Here, I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a happy family.

Honorable President Donald J. Trump and Mrs. Melania Trump. Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends. Thank you Mr. President and Mrs. Trump for extending to my wife and me your gracious hospitality and thoughtful arrangements. You and Mrs. Trump have made many special arrangements. I would also like to extend my sincere greetings to Americans from all sectors of society who care about China-U.S. relations and support the further growth of our bilateral ties. As I speak, my compatriots in China are celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, a cherished occasion for family reunion in Chinese tradition. I wish you all a very happy Mid-Autumn Festival and my best wishes to you and your families.

Arrived as promised. In less than half a year, the heads of state of China and the United States have realized mutual visits, creating history in the exchanges between the two countries. Today, I had a sincere and in-depth exchange with President Trump, reached many new consensuses, enriched the connotation of the constructive strategic stable relationship between China and the United States, and provided new strategic guidance for China-U.S. relations.

In May this year, President Trump paid a successful visit to China at my invitation. We agreed to build a constructive China-U.S. relationship of strategic stability. During the visit, President Trump warmly invited me to visit the United States, and I have come as promised. In less than half a year, the Chinese and American presidents have exchanged state visits, making history in our bilateral engagement. Today, President Trump and I had sincere and in-depth exchanges and reached common understanding on many issues. This has added new substance to the constructive China-U.S. relationship of strategic stability and provided new strategic guidance for China-U.S. relations.

On behalf of the Chinese government and the Chinese people, I express my congratulations. This history of more than 250 years has witnessed the friendly exchanges between the Chinese and American people.

Not long ago, the United States celebrated the 250th anniversary of its independence. On that occasion, I sent my congratulations on behalf of the Chinese government and people. The past 200-plus years have also witnessed friendly exchanges between China and the United States.

Over 200 years ago, right at the beginning of its independence, the United States turned its gaze toward China. China and the United States traded what they had for what they lacked and complemented each other's strengths, initiating trade relations. President Washington himself purchased and collected a large amount of Chinese porcelain.

Over 200 years later, the United States turned its eyes toward China again. Our two countries began discussing cooperating with others, matching goods to meet the needs of others, and describing our creativity. In fact, President George Washington himself once acquired a huge, massive amount.

In the fight against the Japanese militarist aggressors, we opened the famous Hump route. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chinese soldiers and civilians rescued hundreds of American pilots at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives. This friendship forged in blood and fire will surely be passed down from generation to generation.

Over 80 years ago, the Chinese and American people stood shoulder to shoulder in a fight against Japanese militarist aggressors. Together, we opened the famous Hump air route over the Himalayas. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chinese soldiers and civilians rescued hundreds of American pilots at the cost of hundreds of thousands of Chinese lives. Such a friendship forged in blood and fire will surely live on through the generations.

The great process of normalizing China-U.S. relations. The special state gift of redwood trees presented by President Nixon back then was planted in Zhejiang province, where I once worked.

Over 50 years ago, ping-pong diplomacy between China and the United States opened the long-closed door of bilateral exchanges. With the political wisdom embodied in a small ball moving the globe, the older generation of Chinese and American statesmen led by Chairman Mao Zedong and President Richard Nixon set in motion the historic process of normalizing relations between our two countries. The redwood trees that President Nixon had presented as a special state gift have taken root in Zhejiang province, where I worked for several years.

An American named Cikos, the American

Over 20 years ago, an American gave financial support to Yin Yujin, a Chinese desert-control worker, for her tree-planting effort. Just recently, this elderly man returned to China, and saw with his own eyes that the desert back then had turned into a lush forest. This story touched the hearts of many Chinese people and stands as an example of friendly exchanges between the peoples of China and the United States.

Over 20 years ago, an American named Ronald Sarkosky gave financial support to Yin Yujin, a Chinese desert-control worker, for her tree-planting effort. Just recently, Ronald, now an elderly man, returned to China. He saw with his own eyes that the desert back then had turned into a lush forest. This story touches the hearts of many Chinese people and stands as a shining example of the friendly exchanges between our two peoples. Exchanges have helped promote heart-to-heart communication between our people and cemented public support for Sino-U.S. friendship and cooperation.

Chinese modernization has kept breaking new ground, and these two goals are both ambitious and can surely be mutually reinforcing. We should demonstrate the responsibility of major countries, meet the expectations of our peoples and the trend of the times, and explore a right path for major countries to get along with each other.

Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, reviewing the past gives us new perspectives. Today, we have come to another historic juncture for China-U.S. relations. President Trump has pledged to make America great again and let the American people make significant strides. China is committed to achieving great national rejuvenation, and Chinese modernization has kept breaking new ground. These two goals are both ambitious and can surely be mutually reinforcing. China and the United States must act as responsible major countries, meet the expectations of our peoples, keep pace with the trend of our times, and explore a new approach for major countries to get along with each other.

Like a river that never stops flowing, history never stands still. The friendship between the two peoples is a worthy cause that holds great promise. Let us join hands and move forward side by side. Together, let us nurture the beautiful flowers of Sino-U.S. friendship. Together, let us write a new chapter in our friendly relations.

To the prosperity and progress of China and the United States, and to the benefit of our two peoples, cheers!

Now I would like to propose a toast to the health of President and Mrs. Trump, to the prosperity and progress of China and the United States, and to the friendship between our two peoples. Cheers!

Cheers!

It seems their event has concluded. The banquet that follows should be behind the scenes, so we likely won't see any further footage. Alright, let's see, there is actually some remaining video, which is the footage of all the protesters today, and I can show it to you all. Then, at the end, we will invite 11 to come up and share some final words with us, to see what his impressions were from being at the scene. Alright, let's first take a look at the video we didn't finish earlier, which is the acts of resistance carried out by the anti-CCP protesters on-site. Alright, it should be right here.

On the contrary, I think we are people who love China too much, but we cannot tolerate that authoritarian regime. We cannot tolerate that authoritarian government there, as just mentioned by Jun Dao, suppressing those who oppose it, those who are unwilling to be led by it, and the opinions of those people. We can see here that whether it is the White House, the Secret Service, or the local American police, they say, 'I will not comment on your views; you have the right to express your free speech here.' We do not have this right in China. In China, we do not have the right to say, 'I disagree with Xi Jinping, I demand that Xi Jinping step down, I demand that the CCP step down.' We do not.

What would happen if we did? We are not saying China is bad; we are saying that without the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), China would be better, or rather, without the CCP, China will only get better. That is the fact. Since the 2020 election, as Chairman Jun Dao just said, at least a million Americans have died, but how many Chinese died? At the end of 2022, many of you were in China, and you know. Xi Jinping shamelessly said that the three years of lockdowns were correct, and that our current reopening is also correct. Is there anyone more shameless than that? No. When he opened up like that, tens of millions of people died in China. You know this in China; there wasn't even space at the crematoriums, right. So, without Xi Jinping, without the CCP, China will be better.

We are not anti-China; we are anti-CCP, and we are patriotic. On the contrary, patriotism is not a shameful word, but to be patriotic, one must be anti-CCP. Yes, to be patriotic, one must be anti-CCP.

Because of patriotism, China will only be better after it becomes democratic. Of course, whether the CCP must be eliminated after democratization is not necessarily certain. If the Chinese people are willing to vote for the CCP, even if it is a minority party, letting it sit as an opposition party is no problem. But if the Chinese people simply do not vote for it, it should get out; it is that simple, and that is the key.

In China, we have no ballots, no freedom of speech, no freedom of parade or assembly, no freedom to openly express opposition, no freedom of belief, and in China, we don't even have freedom of movement. We now know that the CCP has explicit orders restricting Chinese citizens from leaving the country, and they create all sorts of trouble there. When you apply for a passport or a travel permit to Hong Kong or Macau, they won't let you apply and find all sorts of excuses. Chinese people do not have these rights.

It is not like this in the United States. At the border, you can leave directly.

In China, there is no such thing as an exit check at the airport, only an entry check. Entering the United States is difficult, but leaving the United States is very easy. In China, it is the opposite now.

So everything we do here is because we love China too much. We hope for a better China, and we hope to end such a dictatorial regime. We must raise our voices here; the dictator cannot hear those voices in China, and the Chinese people on the streets of China do not have this opportunity, so we must express it here.

Yesterday, we successfully made the Chinese trade representative to Taiwan hear our voices on the spot. Of course, moving forward, I think we need to use more ways to let more high-ranking CCP officials know that the Chinese people are against them. For them to leave those positions themselves is what is safe for them and what is best for everyone. This is what we need to do better in the future.

To conclude: we love China, but we oppose the CCP. To be patriotic is to be anti-CCP. Down with it once, 90,000 years.

The following videos should be scenes from a Tibetan protest, saying "Xi Jinping is a killer." Alright, let's keep going. There is no copyright for this music, but we can take a look at the scene; these should be Tibetan protesters. Let's keep going.

This should be a video from yesterday, and this is a video of a conflict between Tibetan protesters and pro-CCP individuals. "Don't touch me!" "Free Tibet!" This should be a video of them seeing Xi Jinping's motorcade. "China feels ashamed!" "Xi Jinping is a Mafia!" "Xi Jinping is a Mafia!" Mafia means a criminal gang.

Below is some behind-the-scenes footage at the White House. This should be what we saw in the tweets, where some Chinese journalists tried to rush into the White House briefing room before the doors closed. This is a big no-no; you cannot act recklessly at the White House. However, you can see in the video that they pushed foreign journalists aside, and when the door was about to close, they rushed up, and there was some laughter in the background.

Moving down, this should be a speech by a U.S. Congressman, Representative Pat Ryan, in Washington. This should be in support of Falun Gong practitioners and against the persecution. This is a member of the U.S. Congress.

These few videos below should be scenes from yesterday or today. At the end, there should be an interview with Mr. Cheng, a great artist. But before that, let's connect with Yao Jia, because Yao Jia is on the scene in Washington D.C. and should have witnessed everything that happened today. He also just received some news that 5 members of the China Democracy Party were arrested, so let's connect with him to see what exactly happened. It is possible that Yao Jia is in a public place.

Hello, Yao Jia.

Hello, hello, Xie Xiaotian, hello. As you can see, I am still around the White House. Now that night has fallen, both the supporters and the opposition have basically left. You can clearly feel that the road is empty now, and it is not that noisy. Although there are still individual police cars parked nearby just in case, the main force has basically gone home to sleep.

I just received news that someone from the opposition called me and said that 5 of their people were arrested by the police during today's protest, so they are still waiting for news. But now we can see that in this area, basically both the supporters and the opposition have evacuated.

Alright, do you know why these 5 people were arrested?

I am not clear on the specific reason for the arrest. Because, in fact, their organizers are also waiting for news. After the police detained these 5 people, they are basically waiting for the police to call them to see if they can be released immediately.

Because you know, didn't Ma Yingtian and his son also have some clashes during the protest yesterday, and his son was arrested? Now it is claimed that both he and his son have been released, without being charged or going to court. By noon today, his son had already been released. As for the other 5 members of the China Democracy Party who were just arrested today, whether they will go through the same procedure, they are also waiting for news now.

The person in charge of the China Democracy Party told me that he is a bit disappointed. Because he said that during the event they held at noon today, a conflict broke out between them and the supporters. He felt that the police only arrested the members of the China Democracy Party at that time, but did not arrest the people on the supporting side, and he felt it was unfair. Of course, this is his own personal opinion.

He also stated that at that time, they were holding an event with Wei Jingsheng and Wang Dan both participating, and they had already finished their speeches. During the closing procedure, a sudden conflict broke out between the two sides. Afterward, the police intervened and took away 5 members of the Democratic Party. Right now, he is also anxiously waiting for a phone call, hoping they will be released tonight. Otherwise, because they will have more activities tomorrow—supposedly at the National Archives, where they will stage a blockade tomorrow—if people are arrested, it might have a certain impact on their activities.

Then when does tomorrow's event start? Do you have any news about that now?

They haven't confirmed it yet; they should confirm it with me later today.

Alright, then thank you for your hard work, Yao Jia has worked really hard all day, waking up so early and still working until so late. So can you summarize all the scenes Yao Jia saw today in a sentence or a few sentences? What kind of feelings do you think what you saw brought you?

If we talk about feelings, I think today while I was waiting for news in a restaurant, a waiter saw me filming supporters there and found it very strange. He said, "Why aren't you filming the protesters?" Because he felt that in the minds of Americans, protesters are the ones who are "protest" and more exciting, so why film supporters?

I said that actually, both supporters and protesters have their own angles and are both very newsworthy. Because for Chinese people in the US, when they see supporters, they also find it very strange: why is it that when you have come to this land, you don't feel that freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and making your own voice heard are very important rights, and instead you go and support [the regime]?

Therefore, from different perspectives, it could actually be something with news value, and each can have its own angle.

Is it live streaming right now? From now on, what event are you at? I'm not clear, are there still people with you two? Is anyone downstairs? I don't know, is there anyone else? There still are, we're heading out. Is it over? It's not over yet, I don't know, I don't know. Everyone take a look, I have no idea.

Over here, it seems there are still many supporters holding red flags—gave me a scare—they are still marching over there. But the protesters have basically finished. I just saw that there are still many supporters holding red flags continuing to advance toward the White House.

So news from different angles is something we can all capture. We won't just focus on supporting one side, or just focus on opposing one side; we can see the confrontation and standoff between both sides. I think this is what makes it most exciting and worth watching.

Right, I agree. So thanks again to Yao Jia for working so hard today to bring in the perspective of the supporters as well—this is also a very good segment. Alright, I see we'll wrap things up for today. Yao Jia has also worked very hard and needs to rest; we might continue tomorrow.

Alright, then thanks to Yao Jia, see you tomorrow.

Alright, see you tomorrow, bye-bye.

Alright, that was Yao Jia just now. We see things have ended over there, so our live stream here is also about to end.

I'll show everyone tomorrow's schedule. In the morning, Xi Jinping and Peng Liyuan will arrive at the White House again, and afterwards Trump and Melania will host the two of them. However, the exact time has not been given to us yet. Whether we will do a live stream tomorrow is also unknown. If we don't do a live stream tomorrow, I will bring everyone an episode of US Trending Searches.

However, if we are going to do a live stream, we should send out the live stream link tonight. There shouldn't be too many major event arrangements tomorrow. We see that perhaps around 8:00 or 8:30 in the morning, Trump and Xi Jinping will go to the US National Archives, which is one arrangement. However, I see there shouldn't be much else below that; perhaps after this, Trump and Melania's events will conclude. But as for this conclusion, they haven't given us a specific time either.

I also haven't seen any scenes worth live streaming on the spot. If there are interesting scenes and we aren't live streaming, we will cut these short clips and broadcast them on our channel.
