Chinese VP Faces Tibet Protests in California Visit 
----------------------------------------------------



Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping continues a visit to the United States
with a visit to California. Xi, who is in line to assume the Chinese
presidency in March 2013, came under protest on Thursday in Los Angeles,
the final stop on his trip.

Pema Dhondub: "All Tibetans, from Northern and Southern California, are
gathered together. There's no specific person or individual. It's all
the Tibetan community as a group to have this voice be heard by all the
people in the world, especially the Vice President when he's here."
