"Protesters Paralyze San Francisco During APEC Summit"

Protesters took to the streets of San Francisco during the APEC conference, obstructing entrances and blocking downtown streets as U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping met. Demonstrators chanted slogans supporting Tibet and Hong Kong's freedom. The protest was described as the largest anti-Xi protest during his time as China's dictator. A smaller group of Xi supporters also gathered. The meeting is being used as a platform to address global issues such as the Israel-Hamas war and climate change. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security designated the meeting a national special security event.
