HU SAID HE WANTED TO SPEAK ABOUT THE SO-CALLED COMMEMORATIVE
ACTIVITIES ORGANISED BY THE HONG KONG ALLIANCE ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE 4 JUNE INCIDENT WHICH WERE 'SPEARHEADED'' AT THE CPG. ON MANY OCCASIONS THE CHINESE SIDE HAD MADE REPRESENTATIONS TO

THE CHINESE SIDE REGRETTED THAT RECENTLY THE BRITISH SIDE HAD NOT
TAKEN EFFECTIVE MEASURES TO PREVENT THIS.
