Hong Kong Protests Erupt Near China's Border

VOANews

   Thousands of protesters in Hong Kong turned out Saturday to demonstrate
   against traders from mainland China.

   The demonstration was mounted in Sheung Shui, a town near the Chinese
   city of Shenzhen, along the border with Hong Kong.

   The protesters want traders from China to stop buying goods in Hong
   Kong that the traders then sell on the mainland.

   Many of the stores in the area of the demonstration in Sheung Shui were
   shuttered.

   The protests started peacefully, but ended with clashes between the
   demonstrators and the police, who used pepper spray on the crowd.
