NARA — Amid the tightest security of his trip, Chinese President Hu Jintao concluded his visit to Japan in the Kansai region this weekend, dining with Osaka political and business leaders on Friday night and seeing the sights in the ancient capital of Nara on Saturday.
The Chinese president was dogged by pro-Tibet independence demonstrators Saturday in Nara, where a scuffle between police and protesters broke out at Toshodaiji Temple, which was founded in 759 by Ganjin, the Chinese Buddhist priest who was invited to Japan to train Japanese monks.
One person was taken away and another was slightly injured, an eyewitness said.
