The anniversary has struck an especially sensitive nerve in Hong Kong this year after China's move last month to impose national security legislation, and the passage of a bill outlawing disrespect of China's national anthem on Thursday. June 4 commemorations are banned in mainland China. REUTERS/Tyrone Siu
