SEOUL, April 27 (Yonhap) -- Thousands of Chinese sympathizers flooded the streets of Seoul on Sunday as the Olympic torch completed the South Korean leg of its troubled worldwide journey, with occasional scuffles and protests erupting along the way over Beijing's ethnic and borderline policies.
Coloring the thoroughfares of the South Korean capital with red Chinese national flags, the mostly young Chinese -- estimated at 6,800 by police -- shouted pro-Beijing slogans, with many of them running alongside the torch bearers.
