TAIPEI (AFP) — Taiwan pro-independence activists early Thursday scuffled with police outside a hotel in Taipei where visiting Chinese envoy Chen Yunlin was enjoying a banquet in his honour, trapping him inside.
About 2,000 protesters venting their anger at Chen’s visit to the island had gathered outside the hotel since late Wednesday as the banquet was being held, with about the same number of police attempting to restore order.
