WASHINGTON — The Biden administration is “closely” watching protests over President Xi Jinping’s COVID Zero lockdowns but does not yet see any threat to U.S. supply chains, a White House spokesman said.
“People should be allowed the right to assemble and to peacefully protest policies or laws or dictates that they take issue with,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters Monday.
“We continue to stand up and support the right of peaceful protests. We’re going to watch this closely.”
