Pro-China protesters interrupted a congressional hearing on March 22, shouting over Senators and demanding that the United States soften its stance on China’s communist regime and abandon its commitment to arming Ukraine.

Several protesters brandished signs throughout a meeting of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, with some periodically standing and shouting over the Senators until being removed by police.
