Pro-China parties merge in HK Hong Kong's leading pro-Beijing party, The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB), is to merge with a smaller counterpart. The DAB, which holds 12 seats in the 60-seat Legislative Assembly, is to merge with the Hong Kong Progressive Alliance. The Alliance holds no seats but is popular among professionals. The move is seen as an attempt to bolster the pro-China vote against a strong pro-democracy opposition. A spokesman for the DAB - whose supporters tend to be low-paid workers and trade union members - said joining forces with the Hong Kong Progressive Alliance would broaden its support base. news.bbc.co.uk
