China's parliament has backed security legislation for Hong Kong which would make it a crime to undermine Beijing's authority in the territory.
The resolution - which now passes to China's senior leadership - has caused deep concern among those who say it could end Hong Kong's unique status and political freedoms.
It could also see China installing its own security agencies in the region for the first time.
The move has already sparked a new wave of anti-mainland protest.
