The 16th leg torch relay of the Beijing Olympic flame concluded Saturday in Nagano city of central Japan.
During the process, a few Tibet independence activists tried to interrupt the relay, but were stopped by the local police. Skirmishes between relay supporters and protesters led to five arrests and four light injuries. Thousands of overseas Chinese were in Nagano and lined the relay route to cheer for the Olympic torch.
An overseas Chinese said, "We want to tell the world that China is a strong country. We want to protect our Olympics, and we believe we have the ability to hold a successful one. I think people who love peace will support China, support Beijing Olympic Games."
