Protesters disrupted the first hearing of a House select committee investigating so-called threats that China poses to the US on Tuesday.
Olivia DiNucci, an organizer for Code Pink, held a sign that read \”China is not our enemy\” at the hearing.
After DiNucci was dragged out, a man that Code Pink later said was \”a Washington, DC resident\” stood up with a sign saying \”Stop Asian hate\” and yelled, \”This committee is about saber-rattling; it is not about peace.\”
DiNucci delivered a clear and direct message that \”the American people need cooperation, not competition with China,\” a statement from the organization said.
Code Pink is a women-led grassroots organization working to end US wars and militarism, and support peace and human rights initiatives, according to the Global Times.
