Uyghur activists protest in Washington as Trump hosts Xi, urging him to raise Xinjiang

As President Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping for a high-level summit in Washington, Uyghur activists joined Tibetans, Hong Kong democrats, Falun Gong practitioners and Chinese democracy advocates in demonstrations urging Trump to press Xi over the mass repression of Uyghurs in Xinjiang — these are the protesters' claims, reported here as claims. The leaders' meeting extended the US-China trade truce but, analysts say, left the deep structural disputes unresolved; China's promised purchases of US agricultural goods have fallen short of the $30 billion target.
