On Thursday, during Donald Trump's state dinner with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, demonstrators' voices were audible over the US national anthem. Campaigners both supporting and opposing China gathered on the road close to the White House, with a police barrier dividing them; some chanted "Keep Taiwan free!". Social media users remarked on Trump's visibly frustrated reaction to the noise as he greeted his guests.
