    File picture of thousands of pro-democracy protesters gathering to demand universal suffrage in Hong Kong

    Thu, 11 Sep 2014 00:03 AM

    Thousands of pro-democracy protesters gather to march in the streets to demand universal suffrage in Hong Kong, in this July 1, 2014 file picture.China and Hong Kong have been wrangling over what it means to have "one country, two systems" for the past 30 years - China stressing "one country" and democrats in the former British colony the "two systems". For Beijing, Western-style democracy conjures up visions of "colour revolutions" and the "Arab Spring", of chaos and instability that could pose a mortal threat to the ruling Communist Party. For many Hong Kong residents, free elections means preserving the British-instituted rule of law, accountability of leaders, and multi-party politics as a check on government powers.
