4 independence activists win in Hong Kong elections
Four activists demanding Hong Kong's independence from China have won the elections to the 70-member legislative council. One of the winners, 23-year-old Nathan Law, participated in Hong Kong's 2014 'umbrella movement'​ when thousands of civilians protested for greater autonomy. Notably, China claims Hong Kong as its colony under the 50-year “one country, two systems” model, set to expire in 2047.
