3. THE MEMORIES OF THE APPALLING AND TRAGIC EVENTS IN
PEKING ARE STILL AT THE FOREFRONT OF OUR MINDS. I MADE
CLEAR ON 6 JUNE THAT THE GOVERNMENT CONDEMN
UNRESERVEDLY THE INDISCRIMINATE MASSACRE OF UNARMED
CIVILIANS. NOW WE SEE POLICIES OF SYSTEMATIC
REPRESSION FOLLOWING IN THE WAKE OF THE BLOODY VIOLENCE
IN PEKING AND ELSEWHERE. WE DEPLORE THESE EVENTS JUST
AS VIGOROUSLY. THE WHOLE WORLD HAS BEEN HORRIFIED BY
THESE DEVELOPMENTS.
BUT UNDERSTANDABLY THE IMPACT HAS
BEEN FELT MOST IN HONG KONG.

AGAINST THIS SHOCKING BACKGROUND, IT IS NATURAL
THAT MANY HAVE SPOKEN TODAY ABOUT WAYS OF HELPING HONG
KONG. IT IS RIGHT THAT WE SHOULD HELP. OUR
FUNDAMENTAL OBJECTIVE IS TO GIVE HONG KONG PEOPLE THE
FUTURE THEY WANT AND DESERVE IN HONG KONG.
