On July 20, pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong applied to run for a seat in Hong Kong’s legislature. It raises the prospect of a battle with the Chinese-run city’s authorities—he was barred from running in previous polls.
Wong is one of more than a dozen young, more confrontational politicians who outshone old guard democrats in unofficial opposition primaries this month—in what many saw as a protest vote against a national security law imposed by Beijing.

The vote on September 6 will see the pro-democracy opposition try to reclaim some political influence in a city assembly stacked with Beijing loyalists.

Only half its seats are directly elected.
Political analysts and democracy activists expect authorities will try to disqualify some candidates.
Beijing says the primaries were illegal and may have violated the security law, which punishes what China calls secession, subversion, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces with up to life in prison.
