THE "RIGHT OF ABODE" REQUIREMENT FOR OCCUPANTS OF SENIOR

POSTS

We knew from the negotiations on the Joint Declaration

that the top posts in the HKSAR would be reserved for

Chinese nationals. The Basic Law has now more clearly

defined the posts involved and extended the restriction to

include holders of right of abode abroad. Those who are

ambitious will need to make a choice. But the majority of

posts in the civil service and 20% of the seats in the legislature may be held by foreign nationals.
