Protesters with a cardboard cut-out of President Xi Jinping holding a yellow umbrella, a symbol of the 2014 "Umbrella Movement", during a protest march in Hong Kong. Xi came to Hong Kong to mark the 20th anniversary of the former British colony's handover to Chinese control. "This is the first time Xi Jinping or anyone in the leadership has mentioned a 'red line,'" he said. Xi said the key to Hong Kong's success was the "one country, two systems" formulation, under which Hong Kong maintains its own legal, economic and local political system. Around her, people carried signs for a host of causes: workers' rights, community agriculture, independent media and Falun Gong, the spiritual movement banned in mainland China.
