TO SATISFY THE TERRITORY'S NEEDS INSTEAD OF BEING MADE ON INSTRUCTION FROM OUTSIDE HONG KONG: MEMBERS OF ANY POLITICAL PARTIES, GROUPS OR ORGANISATIONS ARE NOT ENTITLED TO ANY SPECIAL PRIVILEGES. IF THESE CONDITIONS FAIL TO BE FULFILLED, THE

IDEA OF HAVING HONG KONG ADMINISTERED BY HONG KONG PEOPLE UNDER THE LAWS OF HONG KONG WILL CERTAINLY TURN OUT TO BE A FLOP.
