This included a
Lu stayed on for a four day "private" visit, meeting politicians and community leaders. meeting with Mr Allen Lee, who probably sought to win Lu's approval for the conservative model for LegCo
reorganisation. Lu saw several liberals but not Mr Martin Lee or other members of the United Democrats of Hong Kong (UDHK). He said that he would not meet those among the UDHK
who wanted to overthrow the Chinese Government. Mr Martin Lee wrote to him stressing that this was no part of the UDHK

Reactions
