San Francisco, CA – On October 1, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM (local time), a demonstration is scheduled to take place in front of the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco. The rally, organized by the Asian Alliance Against China Occupation and Repression in collaboration with the Anti-China Expansion Movement, is set to coincide with the National Day of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The protest has been announced as a symbolic stand against what organizers describe as China’s illegal occupations, territorial aggression, and human rights abuses targeting Uyghurs, Tibetans, Hong Kongers, and Inner Mongolians.
Human Rights Abuses in Focus
The protest is expected to highlight the ongoing repression of minority groups and concerns about China’s expansionist policies:
- Uyghurs in Xinjiang: The United Nations and Human Rights Watch have reported mass detentions, forced labor, and cultural suppression, with HRW describing Beijing’s actions as “crimes against humanity” (Human Rights Watch).
- Tibet: Tibetan communities face restrictions on religion and education, while re-education campaigns have been criticized internationally (Congressional Research Service).
- Inner Mongolia: Language rights have been curtailed, with Mandarin replacing Mongolian in schools, sparking widespread protests (The Guardian).
- Hong Kong: The imposition of the National Security Law in 2020 has curtailed freedoms, weakened democratic institutions, and led to arrests of pro-democracy activists (Congressional Research Service).
Broader Significance
By holding the protest on the CCP’s National Day, the organizers intend to underscore the contrast between Beijing’s official celebrations and the suppression faced by ethnic minorities and democratic activists. The event also draws attention to China’s maritime expansion in the South China Sea, which continues to be a flashpoint in international relations.
