When Xi Jinping's motorcade left Andrews Air Force Base, it did not use the main entrance; personnel of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) were said to have guided anti-CCP protesters to the Waldorf Hotel, causing the protesters to fail to see Xi Jinping.
Near the Waldorf Astoria hotel, groups supporting and opposing Xi Jinping clashed twice, with one incident resulting in injuries and bleeding, but no serious violence occurred, and police were present to intervene.
Video analysis points out that Xi Jinping's left-hand movement is limited in public appearances, his fingers are stiff, and it is speculated that he may have had a stroke or a nervous system issue.
