Ching Po: The row caused by Mr Lau Chin-shek's withdrawal from the joint conference of labour groups on the Basic Law is a result of misunderstanding and should now come to an end.
Bar Association chairman Denis Chang: BLCC members should use Cantonese, Putonghua and English
when discussing the Basic Law. The Basic Law should have both a Chinese and an English version.
