Taiwanese, Tibetan students protest Chinese envoy’s speech

A group of Taiwanese-American and Tibetan Harvard students on Saturday 20 April disrupted Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng’s speech at Harvard University, accusing him of being responsible for numerous human rights violations, reports Channel News Asia.

Four students – two Taiwanese-Americans and two from Tibet – held up banners inside a conference hall where Xie was attending and delivering a speech at the opening ceremony of the Harvard Kennedy School China Conference 2024.

In a video clip on the protest provided by the ‘Coalition of Students Resisting the CCP’, Taiwanese-American Harvard student Cosette Wu, who is a co-director of the student organisation, was seen holding the banner that reads “China Lies, People Die”. The video clip showed Wu yelling at Xie, saying he was trying to “paint an illusion of a prosperous China, but your hands are painted with blood”.
