   HONG KONG, STATE DEPARTMENT - Anna Kook English to Asia Service andVOA
   Mandarin Service contributed to this report.

   A semblance of normalcy returned to Hong Kong Thursday after clashes
   between police and protesters who oppose a controversial extradition
   bill that would allow criminal suspects to be sent to mainland China
   for trial.

   Protesters packed up the last few remaining boxes of supplies at Hong
   Kong's Statue Square early Thursday as riot police stood by looking on.
