The Future of Hong Kong

For the development from now to 1990, my suggestions

are as follows

1.

2.

3.

-

The

The Legislative Council should be open for public election.

There should be one seat for every 7,500 persons and a certain

number of seats should be reserved for appointed members.

Legislative Council should comprise both the ruling and the

opposition parties. The leader of the ruling party should be

the Chief Executive.

The Legislative Councillors should elect among themselves a

person, who does not belong to either party, to be the Chairman

of the Council for the purpose of conducting meetings...

When the leader of the ruling party becomes the Chief Executive,

the status of the Governor of Hong Kong would become the

Governor-General.

After 1997, Legislative Councillors should elect among

themselves a representative, who does not belong to any parties, to

represent Hong Kong as the 'Head of State'. He will have no executive

power and will enjoy the utmost honour. After being elected, he will

be appointed by Beijing as an indication of China's sovereignty over

Hong Kong.
