Hong Kong elections: Massive gains for pro-democracy candidates
Hong Kong's leader Carrie Lam says the government will "seriously reflect"
Local elections in Hong Kong have seen massive gains by pro-democracy candidates. Local media say that 17 of the 18 district councils are now controlled by pro-democracy councillors. Hong Kong's leader Carrie Lam says the government will "seriously reflect" after the results.
