SIR G. HOWE SPEECH ON 3 JULY
Hong Kong people did not want and do not want
the Chinese army to be involved with public
order in Hong Kong after 1997. The Joint
Declaration says that it will not be. Hong
Kong will be responsible for its own law and
order.
Hong Kong people had no faith in, and continue
to have no faith in the Chinese legal system.
We now see it at work in all its horror. The
Joint Declaration lays down that Hong Kong
will keep its own laws, its own judiciary, its
own legal system.
