Pro-Democracy candidate wins in HK special election

Anson Chan, a pro-democracy champion and former colonial official, came out of retirement to win a seat in Hong Kong's legislature during a key by-election. In the election, Ms Chan campaigned for full democracy in the territory as the CCP had promised when they took back Hong Kong from Britain in 1997. Of course, Beijing hasn't been very apt in delivering over that last ten years. Chan hopes the government will start moving and "listen to the genuine voice of the Hong Kong people."
