Chinese lawmakers set to tighten control on Hong Kong

China’s ceremonial legislature plans to endorse the Communist Party’s latest move to tighten control over Hong Kong by reducing the role of its public in picking the territory’s leaders.
The measure adds to a crackdown against a protest movement calling for greater democracy in Hong Kong. The crackdown has prompted complaints that Beijing is eroding the autonomy promised when Hong Kong return to China in 1997 and has hurt its status as a global financial centre.
