Masked Chinese man grabbed, pushed ABC reporter asking Biden about human rights ahead of Xi meeting: Report
Molly Nagle said she was 'pulled backwards' by her backpack as she shouted the question
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}ABC News producer Molly Nagle said she was grabbed and pushed by a man wearing a white mask with a Chinese flag on it after she shouted a question about President Biden raising human rights ahead of his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
"But I was pulled backwards by my backpack as I shouted by a member of the Chinese group," Nagle said in a pool report. "I stumbled back and then was pushed towards the door, knocking me off my balance though I did not fall down."
Nagle added that a White House stenographer asked the man not to touch her and that another White House aide told the masked man not to touch her as well, according to NBC News.

Biden said after the meeting that he doesn't believe there is an "imminent attempt on the part of China to invade Taiwan."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"I absolutely believe there need not be a new Cold War," Biden said. "I've met many times with Xi Jinping, and we were candid and clear with one another across the board. And I do not think there's any imminent attempt on the part of China to invade Taiwan."
He said he also told Xi that U.S. policy on Taiwan has not changed.
"I made it clear that we want to see cross trade issues peacefully resolved and so it never has to come to that," he said.
