HONG KONG (Reuters) - Chinese President Hu Jintao swore in Hong Kong's leader for a new term on Sunday and reminded the territory that the motherland comes first, as the city embarked upon its second decade under Beijing's rule. 

Many Hong Kongers celebrated the anniversary of the territory's 1997 return to Chinese rule on Sunday, watching People's Liberation Army parachutists perform stunt jumps, viewing a parade, and making plans to watch fireworks later.
