Pro-democracy Chinese protest at Chinese Consulate in Los Angeles

The People's Liberation Army of the Communist Party of China was founded on August 1. Some Chinese living in Los Angeles held a protest in front of the Chinese consulate in L.A. this past weekend (Aug 1st), urging the people’s liberation army to defend their homes and people, instead of helping maintain the rule of a dictator. Pro-democracy activist Chengsong Qu said that the People's Liberation Army is operating under the CCP and was established to protect its authoritarian regime. They called for the removal of the CCP from the army, and for soldiers to be loyal to the people.
