Hong Kong is poised for a protracted period of political disquiet, with Beijing setting stringent rules on constitutional reform that will practically make it all but impossible for a pan-Democrat to run in a race to become chief executive.
The country's top legislative body, the National People's Congress's Standing Committee (NPCSC), on Sunday afternoon passed the resolution for the framework with 170 delegates casting a unanimous vote.
The civic disobedience group Occupy Central said it would go ahead with its plan to take over Hong Kong's Central financial district in protest, without specifying a date.
An estimated 2,000 people rallied in a park outside the city's legislature late Sunday shouting 'No to fake democracy!'.
