Tangs of Kam Tin arrive late to debate
Article Abstract:
The Tangs, the oldest clan in Hong Kong's Kam Tin, are divided in their stand regarding the Hong Kong-China reunification issue. One group favors control by the Republic of China while another group prefers Communist China. The two groups demonstrated by waving the flags of their preference and hurling accusations. The feud is unusual for the Tangs who have always resisted foreign invasion and influence, have been close to each other, and have never been hostile in their political activities.
