Pro-democracy politicians in Hong Kong have resigned en-masse, after four of their colleagues were expelled from the city's legislature. (Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)

The dismissal of the four came just days after the Chinese government passed a resolution saying any politician questioning Beijing's authority should be removed.

The former British colony, now part of China, is supposed to be governed under a “one country, two systems” principle, but has recently seen its freedoms eroded.
