HONG KONG-CHINA-POLITICS-DEMOCRACY

Pro-democracy protesters face police on November 19, 2014 outside the central government offices in the Admiralty district of Hong Kong. Hong Kong authorities on November 18 cleared part of the city’s main pro-democracy protest camp, the first of several planned evictions to shrink mass sit-ins that have blocked major thoroughfares for seven weeks.
