  In Hong Kong, over 100,000 protesters gathered to demand free elections. China is ruled by the communist party which controls the lives of citizens with the rulings of the central government and the appointment of state officials in different regions. These protesters, led by many young students, are demanding that they be allowed to democratically elect their next leader from a candidate of their choosing. The central government is planning to screen all candidates with a committee that is loyal to the communist regime, eliminating the true freedom of the election.
