I note your interpretation of history but do not
think that it is applicable to Hong Kong. We have
negotiated a unique and remarkable agreement with the
Chinese Government (the Joint Declaration) which provides
a high level of autonomy for Hong Kong after 1997. It
provides a firm guarantee that socialist policies pursued
on the mainland will not be practised in Hong Kong.
Among other things, it provides for the administration of
Hong Kong to be in local hands; for judicial power to be
exercised independently; for a public service in which
appointment and promotion will depend on qualifications,
experience and ability; for Hong Kong to continue as a
world commerical, financial and communications centre;
