Chinese President Xi Jinping will attend events to celebrate 25 years since Hong Kong's handover to China, state media reported Saturday, with the Communist Party looking to showcase its control over the city after crushing a democracy movement. If Xi attends in person, the trip would be his first outside of the Chinese mainland since the pandemic began. But state media and Hong Kong officials did not explicitly say whether he would travel to the city or attend virtually. A trip would also coincide with the inauguration of Hong Kong's new administration, led by former security chief John Lee. STOCKSHOTS - Timelapse images of Hong Kong
