Hong Kong legislators sworn in

From BBC: “Hong Kong’s new Legislative Council members have taken the territory’s official oath of office.

In last month’s elections, 25 of the 60 seats went to pro-democracy candidates – more than ever before.

The new members are likely to create problems for Hong Kong’s leader Tung Chee-hwa and his pro-China government.

One of the newly-elected legislators, Leung Kwok-hung, has already caused controversy by adding a number of pro-democracy slogans to his official oath.

“Long live the people! Power to the people!” he shouted, punching the air. ”
