by Louisa Lim, NPR
May 2, 2008

The Olympic torch is paraded without disruption through the streets of Hong Kong on Friday. This is the first time the torch has reached Chinese soil. It was greeted by crowds of flag-waving residents, shouting insults at pro-Tibet and human rights protesters. Some of them were forced to seek refuge in police vans.
