Hong Kong. Hong Kong residents voted yesterday in legislative elections that threatened to set back the opposition camp and its push for greater democratic freedoms in the Chinese-ruled territory.
Ordinary citizens were expected to cast fewer votes for pro-democracy candidates than in the last legislative race in 2004, when those politicians won new seats amid widespread anger over Beijing-backed officials and policies.
This year, the issue of democratic reform has largely taken a back seat to concerns about wages, education and inflation.
