Border crossing between Mongolia and China reopens after demonstration www.news.mn
The main border crossing between Mongolia and China was closed for several hours after a demonstration by auto-traders occurred. The road crossing between Mongolia's Zamyn Uud and China's Erlian, China was the scene of the drama: The Chinese officials refused to allow the Mongolian auto-traders to bring19 Russian-built UAZ-469 jeeps into the country; infuriated at this decision, the traders lined up their vehicles, thereby blocking entry to the border crossing. The demonstration began on Tuesday evening.
The crossing, however, reopened earlier today after Mongolian Border Security officers and the Zamyn Uud Police Department moved in to clear the demonstration. Some of the auto-traders have been detained by the police.
