Ji Pengfei (at the
inauguration of the Basic
Law Consultative
Committee): China will not impose its model on HK and the Basic Law will
drafted on the basis of
HK's actual conditions.
"Basic Law" and more than 60 per cent of them reveal that they are not interested in the issue.
Christopher Leong of the HK Observers: Mr Li Hou of the HK and Macau Affairs Office said China has not decided on whether there will be direct elections to Legco
in HK in the future.
BLCC member Anthony Ha:
It is a good thing that Mr Ji has not mentioned HK's political system because it indicates that China does not have
a fixed policy on what the territory's future political system should
be.
BLCC member Ko Gra-yee: He hopes that the rule of law will prevail in matters relating to the BLCC.
