<\/div>
About 100 people protesting against human rights abuses in China greeted President Xi Jinping in Seattle on Tuesday, in what is likely to be the first of a series of demonstrations against China’s leader during his week-long U.S. visit.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
In downtown Seattle, a crowd supporting Falun Gong, a religious group that says it is repressed in China, waved signs against what it called China’s theft of prisoners’ organs.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
“Falun Gong practitioners have been put into forced labor camps, prisons, and mental hospitals, and they have been killed for their organs,” said Michael Green, 38, of Seattle.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
At the same time, a group of pro-Chinese protesters, some of them wearing hats emblazoned with “USA,” waved Chinese and U.S. flags and large red cloth signs that read “Hello President Xi” in Chinese characters.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
At one point, Xi’s supporters attempted to drape a giant flag over a Falun Gong banner that read: “Forced organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners is not tolerated by heavenly principles.”<\/div>
<\/div>
There were no arrests by late Tuesday during what police said were peaceful demonstrations.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
China’s official atheist Communist Party does not tolerate challenges to its rule and religious activities must be state sanctioned.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
In 1999, China’s then-President Jiang Zemin launched a campaign to crush Falun Gong after thousands of practitioners staged a peaceful sit-in outside the leadership compound in Beijing to demand official recognition of their movement.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
In Seattle, pro-Tibetan groups joined the protests against China’s fight against separatism in the mountainous region, as did activists calling for China to curb militarization of the South China Sea.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Earlier this month, Yu Zhengsheng, a high-ranking member of the ruling Communist Party also in charge of religious groups and ethnic minorities, stressed China’s official line that the Dalai Lama, a spiritual leader who fled China in 1959 after an abortive uprising against Chinese rule, is a violent separatist.<\/div>
