QUESTION: The Hong Kong Policy Act has been
taking affect for about a year. Do you feel satisfied
with what's going on right now?
SENATOR MCCONNELL:
Well, I hope that the Hong
Kong Policy Act was a constructive part of the process.
The Governor might want to address that. As you know, we
did not go beyond the Joint Declaration in that bill. I
did not in any way feel it was intervening in internal
affairs in China, or in the relationship between China and
the U.K. I hope that it's been a positive thing for Hong
Kong.

GOVERNOR PATTEN: I think it was a very useful legislative reflection of the strong and important economic and trade relationship between Hong Kong and the United States.
