Statements/Comments by others
the BLCC seats as
proposed because it could undermine the objectivity of news reporting on Basic Law drafting.
Mr Frank Ching of HK Observers: Media people should not sit on the BLCC so as to ensure the objectivity in news reporting.
(report) Pro-Taiwan trade unionist Pang Chun-hoi: Pro-Taiwan people should not join the BLCC even if so invited because if they take part in the drafting, then regardless of how the Basic Law is to be draft, Peking will be able to claim that the Basic Law is a product of consultation of
pro-Peking, pro-Taiwan and neutral forces in
HK.
*(report) BLDC member
Tam Yiu-chung: The labour sector should be regarded as a separate sector and awarded 17 to 21 seats on
the BLCC.
