Chinese Leaders Visit Sparks Protests in H.K.

Chinese Leaders Hu Jintao is due to lead the main ceremony. He earlier swore in businessman CY Leung as the citys new leader. The main causes of tension is the system used to choose Hong Kongs leader, which many residents see as designed by Beijings choice. Police had to shield the Chinese Leaders from demonstrators, and they used pepper spray to disperse crowds who were demanding an investigation into the death of an activist Li Wangyang on June 2012 Hundreds of demonstrators, who tried to breach the giant blue and white barriers, were targeted with pepper spray as protesters chanted anti-Beijing slogans and unfurled a huge banner with the Chinese character injustice.
