HONG KONG-CHINA-US-POLITICS-MARITIME

Pro-China protesters gather outside Hong Kong's United States Consulate to protest against the ruling by the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague against Beijing's extensive claims in the South China Sea, in Hong Kong on July 14, 2016. - About 50 pro-China activists marched to Hong Kong's United States Consulate holding placards that read "Ruling is a piece of paper", "US sowing discord and stirring up trouble", as they shouted slogans such as "No Compromise on South China Sea" and "Shameless US". The protesters also threw eggs on pieces of paper placed on the ground -- featuring the picture of US President Barack Obama -- outside the consulate.
