At least 40 anti-Chinese Communist Party (CCP) protesters were subjected to physical attacks during last week’s three-day Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation economic leaders’ meetings in San Francisco that were attended by Chinese leader Xi Jinping, eyewitnesses say.

Chen Chuangchuang, executive director of the China Democracy Party National Committee in New York, said he heard about three individuals being assaulted while leaving the protest site among the over 40 protesters who were attacked. Two were left injured while one of them needed emergency room attention, according to Mr. Zhou, one of those who was attacked and suffered a minor injury.

The CCP’s Tactics

Mr. Chen also joined the protests during the APEC summit. On Nov. 15, pro-CCP thugs attacked protesters, and Mr. Chen was pepper-sprayed by the pro-CCP demonstrators.
