Times Wang, a D.C.-based lawyer who filed the lawsuit on behalf of Qiao Jie, said the incident was indicative of the ‘impunity’ with which Chinese officials increasingly act overseas
An ambassadorial posting to Washington, D.C., typically brings with it two things: a leafy, Gilded Age residence in one of the nicest parts of town, and the threat of protesters camping out front.
“Chinese diplomats swaggering onto a street to quell a protest in the middle of D.C. – this can’t be tolerated,” Mr. Wang said. After unsuccessfully petitioning the Chinese government in Beijing, she joined a group of demonstrators outside Mr. Qin’s residence in D.C., “as was her right under international and domestic law,” the suit says, adding that “to ensure their messages were heard, plaintiff and her fellow petitioners sometimes issued them using bullhorns.”
According to her lawyers, Ms. Qiao “tried to parry the bullhorn away in self defence,” but the man – identified as Doe 1 in the suit – persisted, later allegedly striking her with it, causing her to collapse. The Globe and Mail cannot independently confirm her account, as this part of the altercation was not caught on video, though Ms. Qiao is seen slumped on the floor shortly afterward.
China’s embassy in Washington did not respond to a request for comment about Ms. Qiao’s alleged injuries or protests outside the ambassador’s residence.
