HONG KONG: July 1, 2012 — Tens of thousands of Hong Kong residents watch the annual fireworks during an annual pro-democracy protest in Hong Kong on July 1, 2012 outside the Government Offices. The march was an occasion for ordinary people to air their grievances over a range of issues. There is rising public discontent over widening inequality and lack of full democracy in the southern Chinese financial center. (Photo by Justin Chin)
