The three-day trip to Hong Kong by Zhang Dejiang, who chairs China's communist-controlled legislature, is the first by such a senior official for four years. His visit comes as concerns grow that freedoms are under threat in semi-autonomous Hong Kong as Beijing tightens its grip. / AFP PHOTO / POOL / ISAAC LAWRENCEISAAC LAWRENCE/AFP/Getty Images
