Elections:

What do you mean by "successful"?

-

Good turnout.

Positive and constructive campaign.

Good start to political process on which Hong Kong can build.

Rule 58

This is an immigration matter: nothing to do with nationality.

Amendment to rules merely clarified situation:

does not mean any change in procedure.

In the first two months after the change of the

rules, 570 Hong Kong BDTCs were admitted as

returning residents, that is 90 more than in

the same period in 1989. Only one case of a

person losing his returning resident rights has

come to our notice.

I find these reassuring statistics. But of

course ready to look into further cases should

they come to our notice.
