HONG KONG-CHINA-POLITICS-DEMOCRACY

A woman picks up a yellow ribbon — a symbol of the Hong Kong pro-democracy movement — being given out by an activist in Hong Kong on September 30, 2014. Hong Kong has been plunged into the worst political crisis since its 1997 handover as pro-democracy activists take over the streets following China’s refusal to grant citizens full universal suffrage.
