Hundreds of anti-oil, pro-Palestine protesters clashed with riot police outside the APEC summit in San Francisco ahead of president Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s widely anticipated meeting on Wednesday.

A motorcade of around ten vehicles was stuck in front of a human barricade as police officers in riot gear tried to control the crowd of demonstrators on Fifth Street near Mission.

The demonstrators, wearing yellow vests, tried to block people from attending the summit and yelled at summit attendees who were stepping into the security zone. 

‘We won’t allow genocide to be normalized,’ an organizer told the the San Francisco Standard. 

The protesters chanted: ‘Biden, Biden telling lies, you don’t care if the planes dies’ and ‘shut down APEC.’

Meanwhile pre 

San Francisco officials conducted a massive clean-up in the lead up to the event so world dignitaries don’t have to interact with the homeless during the APEC trade summit.

The unprecedented measures were designed to present a clean and shiny image during the summit, the city’s biggest gathering of global leaders since 1945, and prevent the sorts of street spectacles that have battered the city’s reputation. 

The conference kicked off on Saturday and will run through November 17.
