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

*(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.
