I suspect not.
I suspect there will be no anti Trump protests in China.
Trump will love China. He will say China loves him because nobody protested him.
Is this true American values... ego number one?
I'll be happy to show him he's #1. You know the streets will be deserted right? Like when Xi went to Shanghai.

I agree, everything will be harmonious for Donald.
The last thing his handlers would want is for protestors to anger him and send him into a rage tweeting tantrum.
Yes ... I'l wait till he passes through the Black Sea's coastal area with present (AM) temperature of +12*C (+53*F).
Nobody speaks English here, so .... I am working hard ... LOL ... before the detend and Trump-a's arrival.

My wife does not have twitter, but apparently many in China are talking about it.

“We are aware of a situation involving UCLA student-athletes in Hangzhou, China,” UCLA said in a statement. “The university is cooperating fully with local authorities on this matter, and we have no further comment at this time."
The team was staying at a hotel in Hangzhou, where a representative of the team said: “We are not taking questions right now."
Details on the alleged shoplifting were unclear, though ESPN reported that the incident occurred at a Louis Vuitton store. A spokeswoman for the luxury brand said by email: “There is an investigation going on at the moment and we are not able to further comment."
It was unclear where the three players are, or if they’re in the custody of Chinese authorities. According to WSJ, Hangzhou police have been involved in an investigation that began Monday and included the questioning of three players at a station-house but they, along with a team staff member, have returned to their hotel in the city as evidence is being gathered, according to a person in the news department of the local Public Security Bureau. She said the three aren’t formally under arrest. “We didn’t limit their personal freedom."
Three Georgia Tech players were questioned by local authorities at their hotel, according to a Georgia Tech spokesman, and it was determined they “were not involved in the activities being investigated.” Those players have resumed their activities with the team.
Speaking in Beijing, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, without confirming details on the matter, said “China will handle this case in accordance with the law and ensure the legitimate rights and interests of the people involved."
A US State Department official told WSJ via email “We are aware of reports of three U.S. citizens arrested in China. We stand ready to provide consular assistance for U.S. citizens. Due to privacy considerations we have no further comments."
A representative of the Hyatt Regency Hangzhou hotel said the UCLA team had stayed there and three players were detained by local police. She said she had no further information.
The two teams were in the country as guests of Hangzhou-based Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and its billionaire co-founder, who recently bought into the Brooklyn Nets professional basketball team. Alibaba has since 2015 sponsored an annual regular-season Pacific-12 Conference basketball game in Shanghai.
While the incident may not have received so much attention under normal circumstances, the timing - coinciding with Trump’s first official visit to China - and Ball’s celebrity have become complicating factors, as WSJ explains.
In a statement, Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said: “We are very disappointed by any situation that detracts from the positive student-athlete educational and cultural experience that this week is about.” He said players are expected to uphold the highest standards and that the league is monitoring the situation.
Luckily for the players, Trump's fueding with athletes has been confined mostly to professional sports leagues. Let’s hope, for their sake, that Trump has three extra seats on Air Force One. If the three get jammed up, maybe Trump can work something out - assuming they're prepared to promise never to kneel during the National Anthem.
