1. 6 APRIL PEOPLE'S DAILY REPORTED A MEETING TO COMMEMMORATE THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF THE PROMULGATION ON THE BASIC LAW, AT WHICH JI PENGFEI MADE THE FOLLOWING REMARKS CAMONG OTHER MORE STANDARD ONES).
QUOTE
THE BASIC LAW OF THE HONG KONG SAR WILL BE THE LEGAL BASIS FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF HONG KONG AFTER 1997 AND, MEANWHILE, IT WILL PLAY A GUIDING ROLE DURING THE TRANSITION PERIOD BEFORE 1997. AS ALL SYSTEMS TO BE INSTITUTED IN HONG KONG WILL BE BASED ON THE BASIC LAW, ALL MAJOR MATTERS DURING THE TRANSITION PERIOD RELATING TO POST-1997 MUST TAKE CONSISTENCY (XIANJIE) WITH THE BASIC LAW INTO CONSIDERATION. TAKING THIS INTO ACCOUNT, ALTHOUGH THE BASIC LAW WILL ONLY BEGIN TO BE IMPLEMENTED ON 1 JULY 1997, ITS PROVISIONS WILL ALREADY HAVE PLAYED A GUIDING ROLE BEFORE 1997.
