A new political party was formed on Sunday in Hong Kong, pledging to push for an end to China's encroachment on the region's autonomy and to advocate for self-determination.
The party, Demosisto, is formed by the student activists who led the Occupy movement of 2014, referred to as the Umbrella movement.
In its manifesto the party pledged to hold a referendum in ten years allowing residents to determine their own fate from 2047.
Whilst the party's secretary, Joshua Wong, did not himself back independence, he stressed that independence should be listed as an option during the referendum.
