Chinese pro-democracy activists held a rally outside the Chinese consulate in Los Angeles U.S. on Sunday (Jan. 4) but were attacked by private security guards hired by the consulate.
“Fight the CCP [Chinese Communist Party]. Free Great China,” the Chinese activists said.
They were confronted by armed private security guards hired by the consulate.
The head of the security guard threatened one of the activists, “Do you want to die three times?”
He repeatedly threatened the Chinese activists with violence as he remained armed.
Moments later, the head security guard began using police-grade pepper spray on the activists.
At least eight pro-democracy activists were pepper sprayed and three of them were sent to the hospital for treatment.
Victims told the media that they were shocked and upset by how aggressive these personnel hired by the CCP can be, even on American soil.
Local police officers arrested the security guard, accusing him of illegally using pepper spray.
According to the official website, the head of the security guard is Wu Xian and is currently in custody and faces felony charges. The security company JK Patrol is filed under his name.
The rally organiser told NTD he spoke to people who have internal information about Wu’s company.
The organiser’s identity is concealed to ensure his safety.
He told NTD, “According to insider sources, after attending a meeting on Jan. 1, Wu said they would focus on these things next.”
“Right now, many personnel from the CCP Ministry of State Security have already arrived. He said, you can handle your matters as you see fit. There’s someone from the top backing us,” the organiser added.
According to a source, Wu instructed his employees saying they can deal with those Chinese dissidents in the U.S., especially those group leaders, by any means, including orchestrating car accidents.
Born in China, Wu came to the U.S. more than two decades ago and obtained American citizenship.
The rally organiser said he hopes the Justice Department can look into Wu’s ties to the CCP.
He added that people like Wu pose a serious threat to the overseas Chinese community.
