Bush causes chaos in Asia
President Bush has caused quite a stir in Asia recently, especially in China today. Before China though he was in South Korea where thousands of protesters had the city of Seoul in an uproar for the past two months. South Koreans are protesting the import of US beef with its risk of mad cow disease that threatens the health and lives of the public.

Police were clearing the demonstrators from the road so that they could open up traffic after another night of demonstrating.

On Wednesday the National Police Agency said 167 people involved in protests in central Seoul were arrested overnight.
