Drafting committee member Li Ka-shing: The most important objective of the Basic Law will be to maintain HK's existing freedom and preserve the spirit of rule of law.
Drafting committee member Cha Chi-ming: The Basic Law should benefit not only HK but also China.
Chinese GenCham president and drafting committee member Henry Fok: the facts that some 40% of the drafting committee members are from HK and that all consultative committee members will be local people show that China has attached great importance to public views in HK.
Drafting Committee member Justice Simon Li: There will not be any conflict of views between HK and China on matters of principle but when it comes to detailed arrangements, views may differ and the drafting
Committee will tackle these differences.
