HONG KONG-CHINA-POLITICS-DEMOCRACY

Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying (2nd R) and Zhang Dejiang (R), who chairs China's communist-controlled legislature, wait on stage before the opening of the Belt and Road Summit in Hong Kong on May 18, 2016. Protesters gathered in Hong Kong on May 18 calling for universal suffrage and an end to arrests of activists in China as a top Beijing official visits the city. The three-day trip by Zhang Dejiang, who chairs China's communist-controlled legislature and is attending the Belt and Road Summit, is the first by such a senior official in four years and comes as concerns grow that freedoms are under threat in the semi-autonomous city. / AFP / Isaac LAWRENCE (Photo credit should read ISAAC LAWRENCE/AFP via Getty Images)
