EXCLUSIVE: Insiders say today’s Flushing parade, billed as celebrating America’s 250th anniversary by groups including the American Prosperity Chinatown Association, was actually a $500,000 welcome rally for Xi Jinping ahead of his U.S. visit. Many participants waved PRC flags and plan to greet Xi in DC. Shortly after starting, they ran into anti-Xi protesters from the China Democracy Party International Alliance, China Democracy and Human Rights Alliance, and Christian Justice Alliance outside Changfa Supermarket. Democracy activists shouted: “If you love the CCP so much, go back to China! Don’t milk U.S. welfare while yelling ‘Long live the Communist Party!’ CCP get out of America! The Communist Party is garbage!”
