Over 300 people gathered in the Adelaide suburb of Joslin in South Australia on Tuesday to protest the opening of a controversial Chinese consulate in the suburb.

The protest, organised by the East Turkistan Australian Association, was joined by several groups, including Falun Gong practitioners, Uyghur Muslims, and the Tibetan Buddhist communities. Hong Kongers, Vietnamese, Joslin residents, politicians, and representatives of Australian farmers and industries impacted by Beijing’s trade restrictions also attended the protest.
