Hong Kong's top civil servant will stay on until the end of June 2002, ending speculation that she would be retiring in about one year.
The popular Anson Chan assumed her post under the last British governor, Chris Patten, and had been widely expected to retire some time after January 17, when she turns 60 - the normal retirement age in Hong Kong.
Despite reports that Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa and Chan do not get along, Tung said he was "delighted" Chan had agreed to his request that she stay on as administrative secretary of the Special Administrative Region.
Hong Kong's top government officials showed a united front at their news conference on Tuesday.
As the recession in the region deepens, the outward show of unity was an attempt to calm fears over Hong Kong's growing instability.
As the territory's economy suffers, Anson Chan was criticised for her role in the problematic opening of the city's new airport in 1997.
As a result, speculation about her retirement increased - she had been expected to step down as administrative secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region next January when she reaches retirement age.
However, Chief Executive Tung announced that she would stay until his term expires in June 2002.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"The fact is that when we were faced with some really very difficult and tough challenges, she made some remarkable and important contributions. She was always there to support me, to give me the right advice for us to move forward together."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong Chief Executive
Tung is expected to stand for reelection to the territory's top post.
Some analysts had predicted that a Chan retirement would set the stage for her to challenge the leadership position.
But Chan said that she and Tung were in total agreement that serving out her term was in the best interests of the territory.
Visibly pleased to be staying, she admitted that she had thought of stepping down after 30 years in government service to focus on her family, but said that Tung had been "very persuasive".
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Mr Tung is a very persuasive Chief Executive and he persuaded me to stay on. I feel that the Chief Ex and I both have a great commitment to the people of Hong Kong and the Special Administrative Region and if Mr Tung feels that my continued presence will assist him in his work, then I am delighted to accept his invitation to stay on."
SUPER CAPTION: Anson Chan, Hong Kong Government Chief Secretary
Chan was appointed to the post in 1993 and during her time in office was considered the key advisor to Chris Patten, Hong Kong's last British governor.
She dismissed reports that her relationship with Tung is not as strong.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"There are occasions when I don't agree with Mr Tung. And there were occasions in the past when I didn't agree with Chris Patten. I think that our relationship is based on one of trust and frankness. I think that the way I can best assist Mr Tung is by being frank in tendering advice, in having mutual respect for each others views and to always try and reach a decision that is in the best interest of Hong Kong."
SUPER CAPTION: Anson Chan, Hong Kong Government Chief Secretary
The news is expected to have a positive reception in the business community.
While Tung is thought likely to enforce Beijing's wishes in the territory, Chan has long been popular with the financial community.
Donald Tsang, the financial secretary, was seen as a possible replacement for Chan.
But for now stability is the Hong Kong government's watchword.

Hong Kong’s first chief executive Tung Chee-hwa has publicly called on protesters to end demonstrations and go home. Tung said the protests have damaged the economy, and said it was not how Hong Kong would achieve democracy. CCTV America’s Zhu Dan reports.

Hong Kong's Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa has continued his campaign to convince Americans that democracy is still alive in the former British colony.
On Thursday Tung visited the world's financial capital, New York, to try and persuade investors Hong Kong remains a profitable place to invest.
Speaking at the Asia Society in New York, Tung Chee-hwa took the opportunity to try and convince business executives to keep faith in Hong Kong.
Since the handover to China, there has been a fall in investment and tourism to the former British colony.
Tung said it was obviously in China's interests to follow through with its promise of one country, with two political systems.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"There are those who are skeptical about the actual implementation of the basic law. They have fundamental doubts that China will allow the implementation of one country, two systems. I believe this is misguided. Clearly it is in China's basic national interest to ensure the successful implementation of one country, two systems. The reason is simple if Hong Kong succeeds in our efforts we can contribute towards the continued modernisation of China as a whole."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong's Chief Executive
He emphasised the importance of U-S trade with Hong Kong, and stressed that in Hong Kong they do not find China threatening.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I have not come to America as a spokesman for China. My task is to speak about Hong Kong. But the fact is that China is our sovereign. China and the United States are respectively Hong Kong's largest and second largest trading partners. Your perception of China and Sino-US relationships have a great impact on us. China has indeed made impressive strides since the late 1970s. We in Hong Kong are proud of China's achievements. We do not find China's achievements and behaviour threatening. The main reason for that difference is of course our perception against that of many Americans."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong's Chief Executive
Tung likened the handover of Hong Kong to China to the U-S independence from Britain in 1776.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"In many ways, ladies and gentlemen, 1997 is destined to be our 1776. It is the beginning of a new era for us. As Chinese people we see the handover as the coming together, a natural reconciliation, ending a long period of unnatural separation."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong's Chief Executive
Now, he said, the people of Hong Kong are finally going to be masters of their own destiny.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We will be making our own decisions, standing by them and being held accountable for their consequences and we will be doing so with pride and with confidence. Thank you very much."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong's Chief Executive
On Friday, Tung Chee-hwa is scheduled to meet with U-S President Bill Clinton.

Tung Chee-hwa, in his first press conference as Hong Kong's new leader has repeated pledges to hold elections by mid-1998.
He took a calm view of anti-China protests and gave fresh assurances about Hong Kong's freedoms.
Tung also gave out awards for patriotism and met with the foreign ministers of some of Hong Kong's neighbours.
Shipping tycoon Tung Chee-hwa appeared pleased to have finally taken up his new role as Hong Kong's Chief Executive.
The 60-year-old's appearance at his first press conference as leader was friendly and open, despite tough questioning from 400 journalists.
The reporters used three-channel translation devices to understand questions and answers.
Tung himself needed no translations - he speaks both Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese as well as English.
Asked about the absence of US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright from the swearing in of the new Provisional Legislature, Tung said nothing could have spoiled his mood.
SOUNDBITE: (Cantonese)
"It doesn't matter because this is a big happy event in our Chinese culture. It wouldn't be ruined because of one person or one circumstance. As you can see the mood was very happy. We were all very happy so if there are some people in the US who don't understand, that's okay too. Let them slowly understand."
SUPER CAPTION: Hong Kong Chief Executive, Tung Chee-hwa
He said the Hong Kong population needed to learn more about China so that the two peoples could overcome their differences.
SOUNDBITE: (Cantonese)
"We have been separated from our motherland for many years. Realistically, I think Hong Kong people do not understand our mother country enough. Concerning the efforts of our motherland within the last eight to ten years, they don't understand enough. So I think they've got to understand the situation, they must see more first and then afterwards we can deal with the problems."
SUPER CAPTION: Hong Kong Chief Executive, Tung Chee-hwa
Tung repeated that the new government would be tolerant of demonstrations, although he felt they weren't productive.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Are these demonstrations good? Well it gives the demonstrator an opportunity to say things. Would I do it this way? Obviously not because I think there are many channels open to communication, I would have thought of a better way of communicating."
SUPER CAPTION: Hong Kong Chief Executive, Tung Chee-hwa
Earlier Tung handed out medals to people for their contribution to the reunification with China.
British-born Elsie Tu was the first of 12 people to be presented with a Grand Bauhinia Medal, in the gilded ballroom of the former Government House.
Just a few days ago the room had been used by the Prince of Wales for Britain's last investitures in the territory.
Tung led the enthusiastic applause for the only woman to receive the first of Hong Kong's new honours.
Tung also met Foreign Ministers from some of his Asian neighbours - lobbying them to grant visa-free entry to Hong Kong citizens.
Recently, Thailand joined the list of countries to grant Hong Kong citizens entry without visas.
Tung met with the Thai Foreign Minister Prachuab Chaiyasan to finalise the details.

China's flag was lowered to the ground in Tiananmen Square on Thursday (20/2) as a further mark of respect to Deng Xiao Ping, who died in Beijing on Wednesday.
In Tiananmen Square where in 1989 the Chinese army brutally put down a student protest, a sombre crowd watched as soldiers from the People's Liberation Army conducted the flag-lowering ceremony - the scene, and the square, dominated by a portrait of revered former Chairman Mao Tse Tung.
In Hong Kong, the British colony's future leader Tung Chee-hwa on Thursday expressed his grief over the death of Deng Xiao Ping.

Hong Kong's Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa has tried to shore up confidence in the territory's freedoms under Chinese rule.
At the same time he commented on the sensitive issue of Taiwanese independence.
Both issues have been headline news in Hong Kong since last week when a mainland Chinese official warned local journalists to steer clear of reporting on Taiwanese independence.
The freedom of Hong Kong's press has been a major concern in recent days.
China reiterated a warning on Monday to the Hong Kong media against advocating views supporting Taiwanese independence.
On Tuesday Hong Kong's Chief Executive, Tung Chee-hwa, tried to smooth over the issue.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"In reality, Hong Kong's press freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of publication, are
protected by the Basic Law. Media can continue to act in accordance with the law of Hong Kong."
SUPER CAPTION Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong Chief Executive
Wang Fengchao, deputy director of China's liaison office in Hong Kong, set off a furore among journalists and opposition legislators last Wednesday.
He told the media to avoid mentioning Taiwanese independence or reporting views different from Beijing on the issue.
The Hong Kong Journalists Association said on Monday it was filing a written complaint with the Chinese premier, Zhu Rongji.
The association said it will also stage a 24-hour industry-wide signature campaign on Tuesday.
Tung reminded local reporters that Hong Kong supports the principle that Taiwan is part of China.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"What we really need to understand is, what is the effect that Taiwan independence might have on cross-strait relations, on mainland and Taiwan economy, on Sino-US relations, and on the stability of Asia-Pacific generally. And if these impacts are adverse what would the effect be on the investment environment in Hong Kong and also on our economic
recovery. Therefore in the months and years ahead we must realise that the issue of Taiwan independence is closely related to our own self interest in Hong Kong."
SUPER CAPTION Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong Chief Executive
China and Taiwan separated amid civil war in 1949 and Beijing regards the island as a breakaway province that must eventually be reunited with the mainland, by force if necessary.
Hong Kong returned to Chinese sovereignty in 1997.
It is being ruled under a "one country, two systems" form of government which promises to leave press freedom, laws and lifestyle intact for at least 50 years.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair was on Friday facing criticism from democracy advocates in Hong Kong, for his country's partnership with China.
The leader of Hong Kong's major opposition Democratic Party accused Blair of shelving human rights and democracy in favour of maintaining profitable trade.
Blair defended the closer relations he has engineered with China, saying Britain's trade and investment dealings with the mainland must be allowed to thrive and that Hong Kong could only benefit from them.
The British Prime Minister with Tung Chee-hwa, part of a day of meetings with key political figures in Hong Kong.
The handshake marks the first meeting for the two leaders since sovereignty of this former British colony was transferred to China last July.
Tony Blair later attended a dinner hosted by the territory's chief executive.
Here, Tung emphasised that the special relationship between Britain and Hong Kong.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Hong Kong is now proudly a part of China, but Hong Kong and Britain will always have a very special relationship. It will remain a permanent part of the character of this place, to be the city in which Britain and China can meet, in commerce, in culture and in friendship to create lasting bonds and benefits."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong chief executive
The British Prime Minister said the capitalist territory's return to the communist mainland 15 months ago had been a success.
In his address, Blair reiterated that China and Britain have entered a new era, with much of the suspicion and bitterness over Hong Kong in the past 156 years behind
them.
And Blair said closer ties between China and Britain were in Hong Kong's interest.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"It is important in my view, as I was saying today, for Hong Kong, that Britain and China have a good strong relationship for the future. A relationship where we can be frank with each other on issues like the progress on human rights or democracy where we can state our differences openly and plainly, but a relationship that is built on dialogue and partnership for the future."
SUPER CAPTION: Tony Blair, British prime minister
Blair had earlier faced criticism from Martin Lee, leader of Hong Kong's major opposition Democratic Party, who accused Blair of not doing enough to help democracy as he engineered closer ties with China.
He said Blair gave of profitable trade and investment links with the mainland priority over human rights and democracy.
Blair, however, defended China's hands-off policy towards Hong Kong, saying China has kept its side of the bargain and honoured its commitments to Britain.
He added that human rights issues such as freedom and dissent were raised in his meetings with Chinese leaders.
The British premier also urged nations in financial turmoil to keep their nerve and hold fast to prudent fiscal policies, while strengthening social safety nets for the poor.
Blair arrived in former British colony Friday for a two-day visit, the last stop on his China tour.
His schedule on Saturday includes a visit to a British community and a trip to a Hong Kong shopping mall.

Hong Kong's new leader Tung Chee-hwa paid his first visit to Chinese troops based in the former British colony on Wednesday.
Nearly 5-thousand People's Liberation Army (PLA) troops are stationed in 14 different barracks across the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong.
During Tung's visit, P-L-A garrison commander Major-General Liu Zhenwu attempted to reassure Hong Kong residents that his troops would respect the territory's laws.
Hong Kong's Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa was given a warm welcome by China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) on Wednesday.
Tung inspected about 1-thousand P-L-A troops at Stonecutters Island military base - the first time since his inauguration on July 1.
Chinese President Jiang Zemin has said the P-L-A personnel is made up of elite troops chosen from among hundreds of thousands of candidates.
The 48-hundred soldiers reportedly underwent intensive training on understanding Hong Kong's laws and regulations prior to their arrival in the former British colony.
The troops marched into Hong Kong with armoured carriers, warplanes and ships on July 1.
Their arrival was viewed with some trepidation - as many Hong Kong residents still remember the army's brutal crackdown on the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989.
Under the terms of Hong Kong's return to Chinese rule, the territory is to maintain its capitalist approach for fifty years.
The central government in Beijing, however, will be responsible for Hong Kong's defence and foreign affairs.
In a speech welcoming Tung and his entourage to the new Chinese navy base in Victoria Harbour, P-L-A garrison chief Major General Liu Zhenwu offered reassurances that China would respect Hong Kong's laws.
Liu also re-stated the P-L-A's purpose in Hong Kong.
SOUNDBITE: (Mandarin)
"According to the Basic Law and the Garrison Law, our stationing in Hong Kong is to take responsibility in defending territorial and air security. To secure Hong Kong from any foreign attack and we will also assist the Special Administrative Region to maintain
social order and to take part in natural disaster relief."
SUPER CAPTION: Liu Zhenwu, P-L-A Major General
Tung was accompanied by Chief Secretary Anson Chan and Financial Secretary Donald Tsang - who were all shown various warships and were briefed by P-L-A soldiers.
Tung said the P-L-A would answer directly to Beijing.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Well, the PLA is in Hong Kong to demonstrate the sovereignty of China over Hong Kong. The PLA is in Hong Kong to carry out defence responsibilities if there is any need. And so far as their responsibility is concerned, they of course report directly to the authorities in central Beijing."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Chief Executive of Hong Kong
There are currently 48-hundred P-L-A personnel in Hong Kong.
China has said that its military presence will not outnumber the 10-thousand troops Britain maintained in Hong Kong before the handover last week.

STORYLINE:
Hong Kong's Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa said on Wednesday that he'll take a 10 percent pay cut to show ordinary citizens they are not alone in suffering from the economic downturn.
The move came as protestors griped that the government favours only the rich.
Tung said in his annual policy address that by slashing pay for himself and more than a dozen other top officials, he would "share the hard times."
Tung warned that tax increases and higher government fees could be on the cards when Financial Secretary Antony Leung announces budget plans in March, but he didn't offer specifics.
More than a dozen top Hong Kong officials will take pay cuts of 10 percent from April, Tung said.
But he did not say how much money that will save as the territory heads toward what he called a record budget deficit of more than 9 (b) billion dollars (U-S) for the fiscal year ending March 31.
A government spokeswoman said she could not immediately provide Tung's salary, before or after the cuts.
But Tung indicated there will be plenty of pain to go around as Hong Kong gets its books in order.
Hong Kong is required by law to balance its budget but officials have balked at making steep cuts previously because of the weak economy.
Former shipping magnate Tung was favoured by Beijing to govern Hong Kong after Britain returned this former colony to China in 1997.

Hong Kong Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa has hit back at critics of his rule after his first month in power.
In his first major speech since the Handover he defended his decision to suspend controversial labour laws passed in the last days of British rule.
And in the aftermath of the legal challenge to the unelected legislature he vowed to preserve Hong Kong's rule of law.
Tung Chee-hwa's first month in power might have been easier.
The legislature has just survived a legal challenge and the world's politicians have been keeping a beady eye on the former British colony.
But in a speech to the Australian Chamber of Commerce he said the demonstrations, media scrutiny and legal challenges reinforced his view that in Hong Kong it was business as usual.
He said friends had asked him if he was disappointed by the recent legal challenge to the Provisional Legislature.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"The answer is No. Why? Because it shows the people in Hong Kong and the rest of the world that the rule of Hong Kong, the rule of law is of paramount importance to Hong Kong."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, HK Chief Executive
And he defended his government's decision to suspend a clutch of labour laws passed just before the change of sovereignty saying they would hurt Hong Kong's economy.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"My concern is that these laws could hurt our competitiveness by bringing in unduly restrictive employment practices and terms and conditions. Excessive and restrictive employment practices have failed elsewhere in the West and they have no place in Hong Kong"
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, HK Chief Executive
Mr Tung spoke of the strong ties between Hong Kong and Australia - ties which have been tested by the controversy surrounding Australian MP Pauline Hanson.
Australian businessman Matthew Cheng said the issues raised by Mrs Hanson had forced the association to act.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I think business people are generally very pragmatic about things like this. Obviously Pauline Hanson's views have caused a negative image about Australia. None the less we feel people are fully aware of the fact it is a minority view. In actual fact the Australian Chamber of Commerce has now circulated a petition for those people who want to voice their support for a multi cultural Australia, and this petition when it is finished will be sent to our Prime Minister (John Howard)"

Hong Kong's present and future leaders Governor Chris Patten and Tung Chee-hwa have paid tribute to China's senior leader Deng Xiaoping at Xinhua news agency, China's unofficial embassy .
Earlier in a speech, Patten, the colony's last British Governor described Deng as an "historic figure."
And in Beijing, Tung Chee-hwa called Deng a great leader and said he had made China a wealthier and stronger nation.
High-ranking Hong Kong officials and businessmen expressed sorrow on Thursday at the death of the death of China's senior leader Deng Xiaoping.
Dozens of the territory's top businessmen came to the Xinhua news agency, China's unofficial embassy to pay their respects, including (b) billionaire Li Kaishing.
Amongst those visiting were the British Hong Kong Governor Chris Patten and the future leader of the colony, Tung Chee-hwa.
Earlier in the day at a lunch for the Australian Chamber of Commerce Patten called the former leader an historic figure and one of the most important leaders of this century.
But he wouldn't comment on speculation about what may result from Deng's death.
SOUNDBITE:
"I'm sure that you'd want to join me today in expressing our condolences to the family of Mr Deng Xiaoping and our sympathy to the government and people of China. As I said in a statement earlier this morning Mr Deng was an historic figure whose concept of "one-country, two-systems,' has provided the framework for Hong Kong's future. Mr. Deng was one of the most influential leaders of the 20th century and his legacy will help to shape the early years of the next century. There will, inevitably, be a great deal of speculation over the next days and weeks about the likely consequences of Mr Deng's death. I do not intend to share in that speculation myself, neither today, nor in the future."
SUPER CAPTION: Chris Patten, Governor of Hong Kong
Speaking to reporters afterwards, Patten said he didn't believe the people of Hong Kong were going to be worried about Deng's death.
He said he though they had more pressing concerns about their new life under Chinese rule.
And whilst on a visit to China, the man who will be Hong Kong's governor after the handover of the colony on July the 1st, said Deng had laid the foundation for the China of the 21st century.
SOUNDBITE:
"The 21st century China will be a wealthier and stronger nation - that is due to the foundation laid by his (Deng's) life long work."

With the countdown clock a constant reminder to the people of Beijing of how many days are left until Hong Kong reverts to Chinese rule, Tung spoke of his personal loss now that Deng is dead.

Tung Chee Hwa, GBM (born 7 July 1937, Shanghai, China) was the first Chief Executive and President of the Executive Council of Hong Kong since the transfer of sovereignty in 1997.
As the eldest son of Chinese shipping magnate Tung Chao Yung who founded Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL), Tung took over the family business after the death of his father in 1981. Four years later, OOCL teetered on the edge of bankruptcy in 1985, and the business was saved by the government of the People's Republic of China through Henry Fok in 1986.

2:09HONG KONG: TUNG CHEE HWA, ANSON CHAN PRESS CONFERENCE
HONG KONG: TUNG CHEE HWA, ANSON CHAN PRESS CONFERENCEHONG KONG: TUNG CHEE HWA, ANSON CHAN PRESS CONFERENCE
English/Nat Hong Kong's top civil servant will stay on until the end of June 2002, ending speculation that she would be retiring in about one year. The popular Anson Chan assumed her post under the last British governor, Chris Patten, and had been widely expected to retire some time after January 17, when she turns 60 - the normal retirement age in Hong Kong. Despite reports that Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa and Chan do not get along, Tung said he was "delighted" Chan had agreed to his request that she stay on as administrative secretary of the Special Administrative Region. Hong Kong's top government officials showed a united front at their news conference on Tuesday. As the recession in the region deepens, the outward show of unity was an attempt to calm fears over Hong Kong's growing instability. As the territory's economy suffers, Anson Chan was criticised for her role in the problematic opening of the city's new airport in 1997. As a result, speculation about her retirement increased - she had been expected to step down as administrative secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region next January when she reaches retirement age. However, Chief Executive Tung announced that she would stay until his term expires in June 2002. SOUNDBITE: (English) "The fact is that when we were faced with some really very difficult and tough challenges, she made some remarkable and important contributions. She was always there to support me, to give me the right advice for us to move forward together." SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong Chief Executive Tung is expected to stand for reelection to the territory's top post. Some analysts had predicted that a Chan retirement would set the stage for her to challenge the leadership position. But Chan said that she and Tung were in total agreement that serving out her term was in the best interests of the territory. Visibly pleased to be staying, she admitted that she had thought of stepping down after 30 years in government service to focus on her family, but said that Tung had been "very persuasive". SOUNDBITE: (English) "Mr Tung is a very persuasive Chief Executive and he persuaded me to stay on. I feel that the Chief Ex and I both have a great commitment to the people of Hong Kong and the Special Administrative Region and if Mr Tung feels that my continued presence will assist him in his work, then I am delighted to accept his invitation to stay on." SUPER CAPTION: Anson Chan, Hong Kong Government Chief Secretary Chan was appointed to the post in 1993 and during her time in office was considered the key advisor to Chris Patten, Hong Kong's last British governor. She dismissed reports that her relationship with Tung is not as strong. SOUNDBITE: (English) "There are occasions when I don't agree with Mr Tung. And there were occasions in the past when I didn't agree with Chris Patten. I think that our relationship is based on one of trust and frankness. I think that the way I can best assist Mr Tung is by being frank in tendering advice, in having mutual respect for each others views and to always try and reach a decision that is in the best interest of Hong Kong." SUPER CAPTION: Anson Chan, Hong Kong Government Chief Secretary The news is expected to have a positive reception in the business community. While Tung is thought likely to enforce Beijing's wishes in the territory, Chan has long been popular with the financial community. Donald Tsang, the financial secretary, was seen as a possible replacement for Chan. But for now stability is the Hong Kong government's watchword.

USA: HONG KONG'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE TUNG CHEE HWA VISIT UPDATEUSA: HONG KONG'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE TUNG CHEE HWA VISIT UPDATE
English/Nat Hong Kong's Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa has continued his campaign to convince Americans that democracy is still alive in the former British colony. On Thursday Tung visited the world's financial capital, New York, to try and persuade investors Hong Kong remains a profitable place to invest. Speaking at the Asia Society in New York, Tung Chee-hwa took the opportunity to try and convince business executives to keep faith in Hong Kong. Since the handover to China, there has been a fall in investment and tourism to the former British colony. Tung said it was obviously in China's interests to follow through with its promise of one country, with two political systems. SOUNDBITE: (English) "There are those who are skeptical about the actual implementation of the basic law. They have fundamental doubts that China will allow the implementation of one country, two systems. I believe this is misguided. Clearly it is in China's basic national interest to ensure the successful implementation of one country, two systems. The reason is simple if Hong Kong succeeds in our efforts we can contribute towards the continued modernisation of China as a whole." SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong's Chief Executive He emphasised the importance of U-S trade with Hong Kong, and stressed that in Hong Kong they do not find China threatening. SOUNDBITE: (English) "I have not come to America as a spokesman for China. My task is to speak about Hong Kong. But the fact is that China is our sovereign. China and the United States are respectively Hong Kong's largest and second largest trading partners. Your perception of China and Sino-US relationships have a great impact on us. China has indeed made impressive strides since the late 1970s. We in Hong Kong are proud of China's achievements. We do not find China's achievements and behaviour threatening. The main reason for that difference is of course our perception against that of many Americans." SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong's Chief Executive Tung likened the handover of Hong Kong to China to the U-S independence from Britain in 1776. SOUNDBITE: (English) "In many ways, ladies and gentlemen, 1997 is destined to be our 1776. It is the beginning of a new era for us. As Chinese people we see the handover as the coming together, a natural reconciliation, ending a long period of unnatural separation." SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong's Chief Executive Now, he said, the people of Hong Kong are finally going to be masters of their own destiny. SOUNDBITE: (English) "We will be making our own decisions, standing by them and being held accountable for their consequences and we will be doing so with pride and with confidence. Thank you very much." SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong's Chief Executive On Friday, Tung Chee-hwa is scheduled to meet with U-S President Bill Clinton.

HONG KONG: PRESS CONFERENCE: CHIEF EXECUTIVE TUNG CHEE-HWAHONG KONG: PRESS CONFERENCE: CHIEF EXECUTIVE TUNG CHEE-HWA
Cant/Eng/Nat Tung Chee-hwa, in his first press conference as Hong Kong's new leader has repeated pledges to hold elections by mid-1998. He took a calm view of anti-China protests and gave fresh assurances about Hong Kong's freedoms. Tung also gave out awards for patriotism and met with the foreign ministers of some of Hong Kong's neighbours. Shipping tycoon Tung Chee-hwa appeared pleased to have finally taken up his new role as Hong Kong's Chief Executive. The 60-year-old's appearance at his first press conference as leader was friendly and open, despite tough questioning from 400 journalists. The reporters used three-channel translation devices to understand questions and answers. Tung himself needed no translations - he speaks both Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese as well as English. Asked about the absence of US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright from the swearing in of the new Provisional Legislature, Tung said nothing could have spoiled his mood. SOUNDBITE: (Cantonese) "It doesn't matter because this is a big happy event in our Chinese culture. It wouldn't be ruined because of one person or one circumstance. As you can see the mood was very happy. We were all very happy so if there are some people in the US who don't understand, that's okay too. Let them slowly understand." SUPER CAPTION: Hong Kong Chief Executive, Tung Chee-hwa He said the Hong Kong population needed to learn more about China so that the two peoples could overcome their differences. SOUNDBITE: (Cantonese) "We have been separated from our motherland for many years. Realistically, I think Hong Kong people do not understand our mother country enough. Concerning the efforts of our motherland within the last eight to ten years, they don't understand enough. So I think they've got to understand the situation, they must see more first and then afterwards we can deal with the problems." SUPER CAPTION: Hong Kong Chief Executive, Tung Chee-hwa Tung repeated that the new government would be tolerant of demonstrations, although he felt they weren't productive. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Are these demonstrations good? Well it gives the demonstrator an opportunity to say things. Would I do it this way? Obviously not because I think there are many channels open to communication, I would have thought of a better way of communicating." SUPER CAPTION: Hong Kong Chief Executive, Tung Chee-hwa Earlier Tung handed out medals to people for their contribution to the reunification with China. British-born Elsie Tu was the first of 12 people to be presented with a Grand Bauhinia Medal, in the gilded ballroom of the former Government House. Just a few days ago the room had been used by the Prince of Wales for Britain's last investitures in the territory. Tung led the enthusiastic applause for the only woman to receive the first of Hong Kong's new honours. Tung also met Foreign Ministers from some of his Asian neighbours - lobbying them to grant visa-free entry to Hong Kong citizens. Recently, Thailand joined the list of countries to grant Hong Kong citizens entry without visas. Tung met with the Thai Foreign Minister Prachuab Chaiyasan to finalise the details.

HONG KONG: CHIEF EXECUTIVE TUNG CHEE HWAHONG KONG: CHIEF EXECUTIVE TUNG CHEE HWA
English/Nat Hong Kong's Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa has tried to shore up confidence in the territory's freedoms under Chinese rule. At the same time he commented on the sensitive issue of Taiwanese independence. Both issues have been headline news in Hong Kong since last week when a mainland Chinese official warned local journalists to steer clear of reporting on Taiwanese independence. The freedom of Hong Kong's press has been a major concern in recent days. China reiterated a warning on Monday to the Hong Kong media against advocating views supporting Taiwanese independence. On Tuesday Hong Kong's Chief Executive, Tung Chee-hwa, tried to smooth over the issue. SOUNDBITE: (English) "In reality, Hong Kong's press freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of publication, are protected by the Basic Law. Media can continue to act in accordance with the law of Hong Kong." SUPER CAPTION Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong Chief Executive Wang Fengchao, deputy director of China's liaison office in Hong Kong, set off a furore among journalists and opposition legislators last Wednesday. He told the media to avoid mentioning Taiwanese independence or reporting views different from Beijing on the issue. The Hong Kong Journalists Association said on Monday it was filing a written complaint with the Chinese premier, Zhu Rongji. The association said it will also stage a 24-hour industry-wide signature campaign on Tuesday. Tung reminded local reporters that Hong Kong supports the principle that Taiwan is part of China. SOUNDBITE: (English) "What we really need to understand is, what is the effect that Taiwan independence might have on cross-strait relations, on mainland and Taiwan economy, on Sino-US relations, and on the stability of Asia-Pacific generally. And if these impacts are adverse what would the effect be on the investment environment in Hong Kong and also on our economic recovery. Therefore in the months and years ahead we must realise that the issue of Taiwan independence is closely related to our own self interest in Hong Kong." SUPER CAPTION Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong Chief Executive China and Taiwan separated amid civil war in 1949 and Beijing regards the island as a breakaway province that must eventually be reunited with the mainland, by force if necessary. Hong Kong returned to Chinese sovereignty in 1997. It is being ruled under a "one country, two systems" form of government which promises to leave press freedom, laws and lifestyle intact for at least 50 years.

HONG KONG: BRITISH PM BLAIR MEETS TUNG CHEE HWAHONG KONG: BRITISH PM BLAIR MEETS TUNG CHEE HWA
English/Nat British Prime Minister Tony Blair was on Friday facing criticism from democracy advocates in Hong Kong, for his country's partnership with China. The leader of Hong Kong's major opposition Democratic Party accused Blair of shelving human rights and democracy in favour of maintaining profitable trade. Blair defended the closer relations he has engineered with China, saying Britain's trade and investment dealings with the mainland must be allowed to thrive and that Hong Kong could only benefit from them. The British Prime Minister with Tung Chee-hwa, part of a day of meetings with key political figures in Hong Kong. The handshake marks the first meeting for the two leaders since sovereignty of this former British colony was transferred to China last July. Tony Blair later attended a dinner hosted by the territory's chief executive. Here, Tung emphasised that the special relationship between Britain and Hong Kong. SOUNDBITE: (English) Hong Kong is now proudly a part of China, but Hong Kong and Britain will always have a very special relationship. It will remain a permanent part of the character of this place, to be the city in which Britain and China can meet, in commerce, in culture and in friendship to create lasting bonds and benefits." SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong chief executive The British Prime Minister said the capitalist territory's return to the communist mainland 15 months ago had been a success. In his address, Blair reiterated that China and Britain have entered a new era, with much of the suspicion and bitterness over Hong Kong in the past 156 years behind them. And Blair said closer ties between China and Britain were in Hong Kong's interest. SOUNDBITE: (English) "It is important in my view, as I was saying today, for Hong Kong, that Britain and China have a good strong relationship for the future. A relationship where we can be frank with each other on issues like the progress on human rights or democracy where we can state our differences openly and plainly, but a relationship that is built on dialogue and partnership for the future." SUPER CAPTION: Tony Blair, British prime minister Blair had earlier faced criticism from Martin Lee, leader of Hong Kong's major opposition Democratic Party, who accused Blair of not doing enough to help democracy as he engineered closer ties with China. He said Blair gave of profitable trade and investment links with the mainland priority over human rights and democracy. Blair, however, defended China's hands-off policy towards Hong Kong, saying China has kept its side of the bargain and honoured its commitments to Britain. He added that human rights issues such as freedom and dissent were raised in his meetings with Chinese leaders. The British premier also urged nations in financial turmoil to keep their nerve and hold fast to prudent fiscal policies, while strengthening social safety nets for the poor. Blair arrived in former British colony Friday for a two-day visit, the last stop on his China tour. His schedule on Saturday includes a visit to a British community and a trip to a Hong Kong shopping mall.

Mandarin/Eng/Nat Hong Kong's new leader Tung Chee-hwa paid his first visit to Chinese troops based in the former British colony on Wednesday. Nearly 5-thousand People's Liberation Army (PLA) troops are stationed in 14 different barracks across the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong. During Tung's visit, P-L-A garrison commander Major-General Liu Zhenwu attempted to reassure Hong Kong residents that his troops would respect the territory's laws. Hong Kong's Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa was given a warm welcome by China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) on Wednesday. Tung inspected about 1-thousand P-L-A troops at Stonecutters Island military base - the first time since his inauguration on July 1. Chinese President Jiang Zemin has said the P-L-A personnel is made up of elite troops chosen from among hundreds of thousands of candidates. The 48-hundred soldiers reportedly underwent intensive training on understanding Hong Kong's laws and regulations prior to their arrival in the former British colony. The troops marched into Hong Kong with armoured carriers, warplanes and ships on July 1. Their arrival was viewed with some trepidation - as many Hong Kong residents still remember the army's brutal crackdown on the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989. Under the terms of Hong Kong's return to Chinese rule, the territory is to maintain its capitalist approach for fifty years. The central government in Beijing, however, will be responsible for Hong Kong's defence and foreign affairs. In a speech welcoming Tung and his entourage to the new Chinese navy base in Victoria Harbour, P-L-A garrison chief Major General Liu Zhenwu offered reassurances that China would respect Hong Kong's laws. Liu also re-stated the P-L-A's purpose in Hong Kong. SOUNDBITE: (Mandarin) "According to the Basic Law and the Garrison Law, our stationing in Hong Kong is to take responsibility in defending territorial and air security. To secure Hong Kong from any foreign attack and we will also assist the Special Administrative Region to maintain social order and to take part in natural disaster relief." SUPER CAPTION: Liu Zhenwu, P-L-A Major General Tung was accompanied by Chief Secretary Anson Chan and Financial Secretary Donald Tsang - who were all shown various warships and were briefed by P-L-A soldiers. Tung said the P-L-A would answer directly to Beijing. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Well, the PLA is in Hong Kong to demonstrate the sovereignty of China over Hong Kong. The PLA is in Hong Kong to carry out defence responsibilities if there is any need. And so far as their responsibility is concerned, they of course report directly to the authorities in central Beijing." SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Chief Executive of Hong Kong There are currently 48-hundred P-L-A personnel in Hong Kong. China has said that its military presence will not outnumber the 10-thousand troops Britain maintained in Hong Kong before the handover last week.

Various of pro-Article 23 security law rally STORYLINE: Hong Kong's Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa said on Wednesday that he'll take a 10 percent pay cut to show ordinary citizens they are not alone in suffering from the economic downturn. The move came as protestors griped that the government favours only the rich. Tung said in his annual policy address that by slashing pay for himself and more than a dozen other top officials, he would "share the hard times." Tung warned that tax increases and higher government fees could be on the cards when Financial Secretary Antony Leung announces budget plans in March, but he didn't offer specifics. More than a dozen top Hong Kong officials will take pay cuts of 10 percent from April, Tung said. But he did not say how much money that will save as the territory heads toward what he called a record budget deficit of more than 9 (b) billion dollars (U-S) for the fiscal year ending March 31. A government spokeswoman said she could not immediately provide Tung's salary, before or after the cuts. But Tung indicated there will be plenty of pain to go around as Hong Kong gets its books in order. Hong Kong is required by law to balance its budget but officials have balked at making steep cuts previously because of the weak economy.

HONG KONG: CHIEF EXECUTIVE TUNG CHEE-HWA GIVES FIRST MAJOR SPEECHHONG KONG: CHIEF EXECUTIVE TUNG CHEE-HWA GIVES FIRST MAJOR SPEECH
English/Nat Hong Kong Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa has hit back at critics of his rule after his first month in power. In his first major speech since the Handover he defended his decision to suspend controversial labour laws passed in the last days of British rule. And in the aftermath of the legal challenge to the unelected legislature he vowed to preserve Hong Kong's rule of law. Tung Chee-hwa's first month in power might have been easier. The legislature has just survived a legal challenge and the world's politicians have been keeping a beady eye on the former British colony. But in a speech to the Australian Chamber of Commerce he said the demonstrations, media scrutiny and legal challenges reinforced his view that in Hong Kong it was business as usual. He said friends had asked him if he was disappointed by the recent legal challenge to the Provisional Legislature. SOUNDBITE: (English) "The answer is No. Why? Because it shows the people in Hong Kong and the rest of the world that the rule of Hong Kong, the rule of law is of paramount importance to Hong Kong." SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, HK Chief Executive And he defended his government's decision to suspend a clutch of labour laws passed just before the change of sovereignty saying they would hurt Hong Kong's economy. SOUNDBITE: (English) "My concern is that these laws could hurt our competitiveness by bringing in unduly restrictive employment practices and terms and conditions. Excessive and restrictive employment practices have failed elsewhere in the West and they have no place in Hong Kong" SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, HK Chief Executive Mr Tung spoke of the strong ties between Hong Kong and Australia - ties which have been tested by the controversy surrounding Australian MP Pauline Hanson. Australian businessman Matthew Cheng said the issues raised by Mrs Hanson had forced the association to act. SOUNDBITE: (English) "I think business people are generally very pragmatic about things like this. Obviously Pauline Hanson's views have caused a negative image about Australia. None the less we feel people are fully aware of the fact it is a minority view. In actual fact the Australian Chamber of Commerce has now circulated a petition for those people who want to voice their support for a multi cultural Australia, and this petition when it is finished will be sent to our Prime Minister (John Howard)" SUPER CAPTION: Matthew Cheng, Vice Chairman, Australian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong But if there are doubts among foreign businessmen in Hong Kong there are no obvious signs.

HONG KONG/CHINA: CHRIS PATTEN & TUNG CHEE HWA PAY TRIBUTE TO DENGHONG KONG/CHINA: CHRIS PATTEN & TUNG CHEE HWA PAY TRIBUTE TO DENG
Cant/Eng/Nat Hong Kong's present and future leaders Governor Chris Patten and Tung Chee-hwa have paid tribute to China's senior leader Deng Xiaoping at Xinhua news agency, China's unofficial embassy . Earlier in a speech, Patten, the colony's last British Governor described Deng as an "historic figure." And in Beijing, Tung Chee-hwa called Deng a great leader and said he had made China a wealthier and stronger nation. High-ranking Hong Kong officials and businessmen expressed sorrow on Thursday at the death of the death of China's senior leader Deng Xiaoping. Dozens of the territory's top businessmen came to the Xinhua news agency, China's unofficial embassy to pay their respects, including (b) billionaire Li Kaishing. Amongst those visiting were the British Hong Kong Governor Chris Patten and the future leader of the colony, Tung Chee-hwa. Earlier in the day at a lunch for the Australian Chamber of Commerce Patten called the former leader an historic figure and one of the most important leaders of this century. But he wouldn't comment on speculation about what may result from Deng's death. SOUNDBITE: "I'm sure that you'd want to join me today in expressing our condolences to the family of Mr Deng Xiaoping and our sympathy to the government and people of China. As I said in a statement earlier this morning Mr Deng was an historic figure whose concept of "one-country, two-systems,' has provided the framework for Hong Kong's future. Mr. Deng was one of the most influential leaders of the 20th century and his legacy will help to shape the early years of the next century. There will, inevitably, be a great deal of speculation over the next days and weeks about the likely consequences of Mr Deng's death. I do not intend to share in that speculation myself, neither today, nor in the future." SUPER CAPTION: Chris Patten, Governor of Hong Kong Speaking to reporters afterwards, Patten said he didn't believe the people of Hong Kong were going to be worried about Deng's death. He said he though they had more pressing concerns about their new life under Chinese rule. And whilst on a visit to China, the man who will be Hong Kong's governor after the handover of the colony on July the 1st, said Deng had laid the foundation for the China of the 21st century.

2:14USA: HONG KONG'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE TUNG CHEE HWA PRESS CONFERENCE
USA: HONG KONG'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE TUNG CHEE HWA PRESS CONFERENCEUSA: HONG KONG'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE TUNG CHEE HWA PRESS CONFERENCE
English/Nat Hong Kong's leader has asked American politicians to be patient, saying establishing democracy in the former British colony will take time. The comments came on the second day of a visit to the U-S capital, Washington, by Hong Kong's first Chief Executive, Tung Chee-hwa. The man now in charge of Hong Kong, Tung Chee-hwa, has been on Capitol Hill meeting members of the Senate and House of Representatives Foreign Relations Committees. Facing criticism in the U-S for his attitude towards democracy in Hong Kong, Tung insisted the slow pace suited the former British colony. There are also concerns about the draft rules for legislative elections in May. Critics say they would deprive hundreds of thousands of people of their voting rights. Under these rules only 20 of 60 seats would be directly elected, 10 would be picked by a small electoral college and 30 by "functional constituencies" representing business, professional and other groups. At a press conference in Washington, Tung Chee-hwa was keen to emphasise that any system established must be in the best interests of Hong Kong. SOUNDBITE: (English) "At the end of the day, I myself and the SER government must do what is in the long term interests of Hong Kong and it is up to we in Hong Kong to decide what is important and what is necessary. Because at the end of the day, we are the ones who have to live with the consequences of our own decisions, and I'm very confident we are going about it the right way. And it was a very good opportunity for me to explain to many of our friends who are in Washington....some understand what we are doing, others do not quite agree." SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Chief Executive, Hong Kong During the news conference, Tung was asked if he thought the election timetable would prove to be a problem during the upcoming visit of Chinese Premier Jiang Zemin to Washington. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Well I would certainly hope not - but what is important for us all to remember is that I am responsible for the well being of Hong Kong, I'm looking after the long term interests of Hong Kong, and we do that properly, we listen very carefully to the views of Hong Kong people and we take us forward on that basis, and that is very important. Obviously, we hope very much the Sino-US relationship will continue to improve." SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Chief Executive, Hong Kong Tung was on his first visit to the United States since the British government ended 156 years of colonial rule and returned Hong Kong to Chinese sovereignty on July 1. The former shipping executive is scheduled to meet President Clinton on Friday.

English/Nat
Hong Kong's top civil servant will stay on until the end of June 2002, ending speculation that she would be retiring in about one year.
The popular Anson Chan assumed her post under the last British governor, Chris Patten, and had been widely expected to retire some time after January 17, when she turns 60 - the normal retirement age in Hong Kong.
Despite reports that Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa and Chan do not get along, Tung said he was "delighted" Chan had agreed to his request that she stay on as administrative secretary of the Special Administrative Region.
Hong Kong's top government officials showed a united front at their news conference on Tuesday.
As the recession in the region deepens, the outward show of unity was an attempt to calm fears over Hong Kong's growing instability.
As the territory's economy suffers, Anson Chan was criticised for her role in the problematic opening of the city's new airport in 1997.
As a result, speculation about her retirement increased - she had been expected to step down as administrative secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region next January when she reaches retirement age.
However, Chief Executive Tung announced that she would stay until his term expires in June 2002.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"The fact is that when we were faced with some really very difficult and tough challenges, she made some remarkable and important contributions. She was always there to support me, to give me the right advice for us to move forward together."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong Chief Executive
Tung is expected to stand for reelection to the territory's top post.
Some analysts had predicted that a Chan retirement would set the stage for her to challenge the leadership position.
But Chan said that she and Tung were in total agreement that serving out her term was in the best interests of the territory.
Visibly pleased to be staying, she admitted that she had thought of stepping down after 30 years in government service to focus on her family, but said that Tung had been "very persuasive".
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Mr Tung is a very persuasive Chief Executive and he persuaded me to stay on. I feel that the Chief Ex and I both have a great commitment to the people of Hong Kong and the Special Administrative Region and if Mr Tung feels that my continued presence will assist him in his work, then I am delighted to accept his invitation to stay on."
SUPER CAPTION: Anson Chan, Hong Kong Government Chief Secretary
Chan was appointed to the post in 1993 and during her time in office was considered the key advisor to Chris Patten, Hong Kong's last British governor.
She dismissed reports that her relationship with Tung is not as strong.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"There are occasions when I don't agree with Mr Tung. And there were occasions in the past when I didn't agree with Chris Patten. I think that our relationship is based on one of trust and frankness. I think that the way I can best assist Mr Tung is by being frank in tendering advice, in having mutual respect for each others views and to always try and reach a decision that is in the best interest of Hong Kong."
SUPER CAPTION: Anson Chan, Hong Kong Government Chief Secretary
The news is expected to have a positive reception in the business community.
While Tung is thought likely to enforce Beijing's wishes in the territory, Chan has long been popular with the financial community.
Donald Tsang, the financial secretary, was seen as a possible replacement for Chan.
But for now stability is the Hong Kong government's watchword.

English/Nat
Hong Kong's Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa has continued his campaign to convince Americans that democracy is still alive in the former British colony.
On Thursday Tung visited the world's financial capital, New York, to try and persuade investors Hong Kong remains a profitable place to invest.
Speaking at the Asia Society in New York, Tung Chee-hwa took the opportunity to try and convince business executives to keep faith in Hong Kong.
Since the handover to China, there has been a fall in investment and tourism to the former British colony.
Tung said it was obviously in China's interests to follow through with its promise of one country, with two political systems.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"There are those who are skeptical about the actual implementation of the basic law. They have fundamental doubts that China will allow the implementation of one country, two systems. I believe this is misguided. Clearly it is in China's basic national interest to ensure the successful implementation of one country, two systems. The reason is simple if Hong Kong succeeds in our efforts we can contribute towards the continued modernisation of China as a whole."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong's Chief Executive
He emphasised the importance of U-S trade with Hong Kong, and stressed that in Hong Kong they do not find China threatening.
SOUNDBITE: (English)

Now, he said, the people of Hong Kong are finally going to be masters of their own destiny.

wn.com/USA Hong Kong'S Chief Executive Tung Chee Hwa Visit Update
English/Nat
Hong Kong's Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa has continued his campaign to convince Americans that democracy is still alive in the former British colony.
On Thursday Tung visited the world's financial capital, New York, to try and persuade investors Hong Kong remains a profitable place to invest.
Speaking at the Asia Society in New York, Tung Chee-hwa took the opportunity to try and convince business executives to keep faith in Hong Kong.
Since the handover to China, there has been a fall in investment and tourism to the former British colony.
Tung said it was obviously in China's interests to follow through with its promise of one country, with two political systems.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"There are those who are skeptical about the actual implementation of the basic law. They have fundamental doubts that China will allow the implementation of one country, two systems. I believe this is misguided. Clearly it is in China's basic national interest to ensure the successful implementation of one country, two systems. The reason is simple if Hong Kong succeeds in our efforts we can contribute towards the continued modernisation of China as a whole."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong's Chief Executive
He emphasised the importance of U-S trade with Hong Kong, and stressed that in Hong Kong they do not find China threatening.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I have not come to America as a spokesman for China. My task is to speak about Hong Kong. But the fact is that China is our sovereign. China and the United States are respectively Hong Kong's largest and second largest trading partners. Your perception of China and Sino-US relationships have a great impact on us.

Tung Chee-hwa, in his first press conference as Hong Kong's new leader has repeated pledges to hold elections by mid-1998.
He took a calm view of anti-China protests and gave fresh assurances about Hong Kong's freedoms.
Tung also gave out awards for patriotism and met with the foreign ministers of some of Hong Kong's neighbours.
Shipping tycoon Tung Chee-hwa appeared pleased to have finally taken up his new role as Hong Kong's Chief Executive.
The 60-year-old's appearance at his first press conference as leader was friendly and open, despite tough questioning from 400 journalists.
The reporters used three-channel translation devices to understand questions and answers.
Tung himself needed no translations - he speaks both Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese as well as English.
Asked about the absence of US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright from the swearing in of the new Provisional Legislature, Tung said nothing could have spoiled his mood.
SOUNDBITE: (Cantonese)
"It doesn't matter because this is a big happy event in our Chinese culture. It wouldn't be ruined because of one person or one circumstance. As you can see the mood was very happy. We were all very happy so if there are some people in the US who don't understand, that's okay too. Let them slowly understand."
SUPER CAPTION: Hong Kong Chief Executive, Tung Chee-hwa
He said the Hong Kong population needed to learn more about China so that the two peoples could overcome their differences.
SOUNDBITE: (Cantonese)
"We have been separated from our motherland for many years. Realistically, I think Hong Kong people do not understand our mother country enough. Concerning the efforts of our motherland within the last eight to ten years, they don't understand enough. So I think they've got to understand the situation, they must see more first and then afterwards we can deal with the problems."
SUPER CAPTION: Hong Kong Chief Executive, Tung Chee-hwa
Tung repeated that the new government would be tolerant of demonstrations, although he felt they weren't productive.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Are these demonstrations good? Well it gives the demonstrator an opportunity to say things. Would I do it this way? Obviously not because I think there are many channels open to communication, I would have thought of a better way of communicating."
SUPER CAPTION: Hong Kong Chief Executive, Tung Chee-hwa
Earlier Tung handed out medals to people for their contribution to the reunification with China.
British-born Elsie Tu was the first of 12 people to be presented with a Grand Bauhinia Medal, in the gilded ballroom of the former Government House.
Just a few days ago the room had been used by the Prince of Wales for Britain's last investitures in the territory.
Tung led the enthusiastic applause for the only woman to receive the first of Hong Kong's new honours.
Tung also met Foreign Ministers from some of his Asian neighbours - lobbying them to grant visa-free entry to Hong Kong citizens.
Recently, Thailand joined the list of countries to grant Hong Kong citizens entry without visas.
Tung met with the Thai Foreign Minister Prachuab Chaiyasan to finalise the details.

Hong Kong's Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa has tried to shore up confidence in the territory's freedoms under Chinese rule.
At the same time he commented on the sensitive issue of Taiwanese independence.
Both issues have been headline news in Hong Kong since last week when a mainland Chinese official warned local journalists to steer clear of reporting on Taiwanese independence.
The freedom of Hong Kong's press has been a major concern in recent days.
China reiterated a warning on Monday to the Hong Kong media against advocating views supporting Taiwanese independence.
On Tuesday Hong Kong's Chief Executive, Tung Chee-hwa, tried to smooth over the issue.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"In reality, Hong Kong's press freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of publication, are
protected by the Basic Law. Media can continue to act in accordance with the law of Hong Kong."
SUPER CAPTION Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong Chief Executive
Wang Fengchao, deputy director of China's liaison office in Hong Kong, set off a furore among journalists and opposition legislators last Wednesday.
He told the media to avoid mentioning Taiwanese independence or reporting views different from Beijing on the issue.
The Hong Kong Journalists Association said on Monday it was filing a written complaint with the Chinese premier, Zhu Rongji.
The association said it will also stage a 24-hour industry-wide signature campaign on Tuesday.
Tung reminded local reporters that Hong Kong supports the principle that Taiwan is part of China.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"What we really need to understand is, what is the effect that Taiwan independence might have on cross-strait relations, on mainland and Taiwan economy, on Sino-US relations, and on the stability of Asia-Pacific generally. And if these impacts are adverse what would the effect be on the investment environment in Hong Kong and also on our economic
recovery. Therefore in the months and years ahead we must realise that the issue of Taiwan independence is closely related to our own self interest in Hong Kong."
SUPER CAPTION Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong Chief Executive
China and Taiwan separated amid civil war in 1949 and Beijing regards the island as a breakaway province that must eventually be reunited with the mainland, by force if necessary.

English/Nat
British Prime Minister Tony Blair was on Friday facing criticism from democracy advocates in Hong Kong, for his country's partnership with China.
The leader of Hong Kong's major opposition Democratic Party accused Blair of shelving human rights and democracy in favour of maintaining profitable trade.
Blair defended the closer relations he has engineered with China, saying Britain's trade and investment dealings with the mainland must be allowed to thrive and that Hong Kong could only benefit from them.
The British Prime Minister with Tung Chee-hwa, part of a day of meetings with key political figures in Hong Kong.
The handshake marks the first meeting for the two leaders since sovereignty of this former British colony was transferred to China last July.
Tony Blair later attended a dinner hosted by the territory's chief executive.
Here, Tung emphasised that the special relationship between Britain and Hong Kong.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Hong Kong is now proudly a part of China, but Hong Kong and Britain will always have a very special relationship. It will remain a permanent part of the character of this place, to be the city in which Britain and China can meet, in commerce, in culture and in friendship to create lasting bonds and benefits."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong chief executive
The British Prime Minister said the capitalist territory's return to the communist mainland 15 months ago had been a success.
In his address, Blair reiterated that China and Britain have entered a new era, with much of the suspicion and bitterness over Hong Kong in the past 156 years behind
them.
And Blair said closer ties between China and Britain were in Hong Kong's interest.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"It is important in my view, as I was saying today, for Hong Kong, that Britain and China have a good strong relationship for the future. A relationship where we can be frank with each other on issues like the progress on human rights or democracy where we can state our differences openly and plainly, but a relationship that is built on dialogue and partnership for the future."
SUPER CAPTION: Tony Blair, British prime minister
Blair had earlier faced criticism from Martin Lee, leader of Hong Kong's major opposition Democratic Party, who accused Blair of not doing enough to help democracy as he engineered closer ties with China.
He said Blair gave of profitable trade and investment links with the mainland priority over human rights and democracy.
Blair, however, defended China's hands-off policy towards Hong Kong, saying China has kept its side of the bargain and honoured its commitments to Britain.
He added that human rights issues such as freedom and dissent were raised in his meetings with Chinese leaders.
The British premier also urged nations in financial turmoil to keep their nerve and hold fast to prudent fiscal policies, while strengthening social safety nets for the poor.
Blair arrived in former British colony Friday for a two-day visit, the last stop on his China tour.
His schedule on Saturday includes a visit to a British community and a trip to a Hong Kong shopping mall.

Mandarin/Eng/Nat
Hong Kong's new leader Tung Chee-hwa paid his first visit to Chinese troops based in the former British colony on Wednesday.
Nearly 5-thousand People's Liberation Army (PLA) troops are stationed in 14 different barracks across the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong.
During Tung's visit, P-L-A garrison commander Major-General Liu Zhenwu attempted to reassure Hong Kong residents that his troops would respect the territory's laws.
Hong Kong's Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa was given a warm welcome by China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) on Wednesday.
Tung inspected about 1-thousand P-L-A troops at Stonecutters Island military base - the first time since his inauguration on July 1.
Chinese President Jiang Zemin has said the P-L-A personnel is made up of elite troops chosen from among hundreds of thousands of candidates.
The 48-hundred soldiers reportedly underwent intensive training on understanding Hong Kong's laws and regulations prior to their arrival in the former British colony.
The troops marched into Hong Kong with armoured carriers, warplanes and ships on July 1.
Their arrival was viewed with some trepidation - as many Hong Kong residents still remember the army's brutal crackdown on the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989.
Under the terms of Hong Kong's return to Chinese rule, the territory is to maintain its capitalist approach for fifty years.
The central government in Beijing, however, will be responsible for Hong Kong's defence and foreign affairs.
In a speech welcoming Tung and his entourage to the new Chinese navy base in Victoria Harbour, P-L-A garrison chief Major General Liu Zhenwu offered reassurances that China would respect Hong Kong's laws.
Liu also re-stated the P-L-A's purpose in Hong Kong.
SOUNDBITE: (Mandarin)
"According to the Basic Law and the Garrison Law, our stationing in Hong Kong is to take responsibility in defending territorial and air security. To secure Hong Kong from any foreign attack and we will also assist the Special Administrative Region to maintain
social order and to take part in natural disaster relief."
SUPER CAPTION: Liu Zhenwu, P-L-A Major General
Tung was accompanied by Chief Secretary Anson Chan and Financial Secretary Donald Tsang - who were all shown various warships and were briefed by P-L-A soldiers.
Tung said the P-L-A would answer directly to Beijing.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Well, the PLA is in Hong Kong to demonstrate the sovereignty of China over Hong Kong. The PLA is in Hong Kong to carry out defence responsibilities if there is any need. And so far as their responsibility is concerned, they of course report directly to the authorities in central Beijing."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Chief Executive of Hong Kong
There are currently 48-hundred P-L-A personnel in Hong Kong.
China has said that its military presence will not outnumber the 10-thousand troops Britain maintained in Hong Kong before the handover last week.

During Tung's visit, P-L-A garrison commander Major-General Liu Zhenwu attempted to reassure Hong Kong residents that his troops would respect the territory's laws.
Hong Kong's Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa was given a warm welcome by China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) on Wednesday.
Tung inspected about 1-thousand P-L-A troops at Stonecutters Island military base - the first time since his inauguration on July 1.
Chinese President Jiang Zemin has said the P-L-A personnel is made up of elite troops chosen from among hundreds of thousands of candidates.
The 48-hundred soldiers reportedly underwent intensive training on understanding Hong Kong's laws and regulations prior to their arrival in the former British colony.
The troops marched into Hong Kong with armoured carriers, warplanes and ships on July 1.
Their arrival was viewed with some trepidation - as many Hong Kong residents still remember the army's brutal crackdown on the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989.
Under the terms of Hong Kong's return to Chinese rule, the territory is to maintain its capitalist approach for fifty years.
The central government in Beijing, however, will be responsible for Hong Kong's defence and foreign affairs.
In a speech welcoming Tung and his entourage to the new Chinese navy base in Victoria Harbour, P-L-A garrison chief Major General Liu Zhenwu offered reassurances that China would respect Hong Kong's laws.
Liu also re-stated the P-L-A's purpose in Hong Kong.
SOUNDBITE: (Mandarin)
"According to the Basic Law and the Garrison Law, our stationing in Hong Kong is to take responsibility in defending territorial and air security. To secure Hong Kong from any foreign attack and we will also assist the Special Administrative Region to maintain
social order and to take part in natural disaster relief."
SUPER CAPTION: Liu Zhenwu, P-L-A Major General
Tung was accompanied by Chief Secretary Anson Chan and Financial Secretary Donald Tsang - who were all shown various warships and were briefed by P-L-A soldiers.
Tung said the P-L-A would answer directly to Beijing.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Well, the PLA is in Hong Kong to demonstrate the sovereignty of China over Hong Kong. The PLA is in Hong Kong to carry out defence responsibilities if there is any need. And so far as their responsibility is concerned, they of course report directly to the authorities in central Beijing."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Chief Executive of Hong Kong
There are currently 48-hundred P-L-A personnel in Hong Kong.
China has said that its military presence will not outnumber the 10-thousand troops Britain maintained in Hong Kong before the handover last week.

Hong Kong's Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa said on Wednesday that he'll take a 10 percent pay cut to show ordinary citizens they are not alone in suffering from the economic downturn.
The move came as protestors griped that the government favours only the rich.
Tung said in his annual policy address that by slashing pay for himself and more than a dozen other top officials, he would "share the hard times."
Tung warned that tax increases and higher government fees could be on the cards when Financial Secretary Antony Leung announces budget plans in March, but he didn't offer specifics.
More than a dozen top Hong Kong officials will take pay cuts of 10 percent from April, Tung said.
But he did not say how much money that will save as the territory heads toward what he called a record budget deficit of more than 9 (b) billion dollars (U-S) for the fiscal year ending March 31.
A government spokeswoman said she could not immediately provide Tung's salary, before or after the cuts.
But Tung indicated there will be plenty of pain to go around as Hong Kong gets its books in order.
Hong Kong is required by law to balance its budget but officials have balked at making steep cuts previously because of the weak economy.

English/Nat
Hong Kong Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa has hit back at critics of his rule after his first month in power.
In his first major speech since the Handover he defended his decision to suspend controversial labour laws passed in the last days of British rule.
And in the aftermath of the legal challenge to the unelected legislature he vowed to preserve Hong Kong's rule of law.
Tung Chee-hwa's first month in power might have been easier.
The legislature has just survived a legal challenge and the world's politicians have been keeping a beady eye on the former British colony.
But in a speech to the Australian Chamber of Commerce he said the demonstrations, media scrutiny and legal challenges reinforced his view that in Hong Kong it was business as usual.
He said friends had asked him if he was disappointed by the recent legal challenge to the Provisional Legislature.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"The answer is No. Why? Because it shows the people in Hong Kong and the rest of the world that the rule of Hong Kong, the rule of law is of paramount importance to Hong Kong."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, HK Chief Executive
And he defended his government's decision to suspend a clutch of labour laws passed just before the change of sovereignty saying they would hurt Hong Kong's economy.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"My concern is that these laws could hurt our competitiveness by bringing in unduly restrictive employment practices and terms and conditions. Excessive and restrictive employment practices have failed elsewhere in the West and they have no place in Hong Kong"
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, HK Chief Executive
Mr Tung spoke of the strong ties between Hong Kong and Australia - ties which have been tested by the controversy surrounding Australian MP Pauline Hanson.
Australian businessman Matthew Cheng said the issues raised by Mrs Hanson had forced the association to act.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I think business people are generally very pragmatic about things like this. Obviously Pauline Hanson's views have caused a negative image about Australia. None the less we feel people are fully aware of the fact it is a minority view. In actual fact the Australian Chamber of Commerce has now circulated a petition for those people who want to voice their support for a multi cultural Australia, and this petition when it is finished will be sent to our Prime Minister (John Howard)"
SUPER CAPTION: Matthew Cheng, Vice Chairman, Australian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong
But if there are doubts among foreign businessmen in Hong Kong there are no obvious signs.
The territory's key stock market index the Hang Seng has continued to climb since the Handover, hitting yet another record high on Wednesday.

Cant/Eng/Nat
Hong Kong's present and future leaders Governor Chris Patten and Tung Chee-hwa have paid tribute to China's senior leader Deng Xiaoping at Xinhua news agency, China's unofficial embassy .
Earlier in a speech, Patten, the colony's last British Governor described Deng as an "historic figure."
And in Beijing, Tung Chee-hwa called Deng a great leader and said he had made China a wealthier and stronger nation.
High-ranking Hong Kong officials and businessmen expressed sorrow on Thursday at the death of the death of China's senior leader Deng Xiaoping.
Dozens of the territory's top businessmen came to the Xinhua news agency, China's unofficial embassy to pay their respects, including (b) billionaire Li Kaishing.
Amongst those visiting were the British Hong Kong Governor Chris Patten and the future leader of the colony, Tung Chee-hwa.
Earlier in the day at a lunch for the Australian Chamber of Commerce Patten called the former leader an historic figure and one of the most important leaders of this century.
But he wouldn't comment on speculation about what may result from Deng's death.
SOUNDBITE:
"I'm sure that you'd want to join me today in expressing our condolences to the family of Mr Deng Xiaoping and our sympathy to the government and people of China. As I said in a statement earlier this morning Mr Deng was an historic figure whose concept of "one-country, two-systems,' has provided the framework for Hong Kong's future. Mr. Deng was one of the most influential leaders of the 20th century and his legacy will help to shape the early years of the next century. There will, inevitably, be a great deal of speculation over the next days and weeks about the likely consequences of Mr Deng's death. I do not intend to share in that speculation myself, neither today, nor in the future."
SUPER CAPTION: Chris Patten, Governor of Hong Kong
Speaking to reporters afterwards, Patten said he didn't believe the people of Hong Kong were going to be worried about Deng's death.
He said he though they had more pressing concerns about their new life under Chinese rule.
And whilst on a visit to China, the man who will be Hong Kong's governor after the handover of the colony on July the 1st, said Deng had laid the foundation for the China of the 21st century.
SOUNDBITE:
"The 21st century China will be a wealthier and stronger nation - that is due to the foundation laid by his (Deng's) life long work."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong leader designate
With the countdown clock a constant reminder to the people of Beijing of how many days are left until Hong Kong reverts to Chinese rule, Tung spoke of his personal loss now that Deng is dead.
SOUNDBITE:
"I am saddened at losing such a great leader for China, he was a good person."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong leader designate
After his tribute, Tung returned to Hong Kong.

English/Nat
Hong Kong's leader has asked American politicians to be patient, saying establishing democracy in the former British colony will take time.
The comments came on the second day of a visit to the U-S capital, Washington, by Hong Kong's first Chief Executive, Tung Chee-hwa.
The man now in charge of Hong Kong, Tung Chee-hwa, has been on Capitol Hill meeting members of the Senate and House of Representatives Foreign Relations Committees.
Facing criticism in the U-S for his attitude towards democracy in Hong Kong, Tung insisted the slow pace suited the former British colony.
There are also concerns about the draft rules for legislative elections in May. Critics say they would deprive hundreds of thousands of people of their voting rights.
Under these rules only 20 of 60 seats would be directly elected, 10 would be picked by a small electoral college and 30 by "functional constituencies" representing business, professional and other groups.
At a press conference in Washington, Tung Chee-hwa was keen to emphasise that any system established must be in the best interests of Hong Kong.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"At the end of the day, I myself and the SER government must do what is in the long term interests of Hong Kong and it is up to we in Hong Kong to decide what is important and what is necessary. Because at the end of the day, we are the ones who have to live with the consequences of our own decisions, and I'm very confident we are going about it the right way. And it was a very good opportunity for me to explain to many of our friends who are in Washington....some understand what we are doing, others do not quite agree."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Chief Executive, Hong Kong
During the news conference, Tung was asked if he thought the election timetable would prove to be a problem during the upcoming visit of Chinese Premier Jiang Zemin to Washington.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Well I would certainly hope not - but what is important for us all to remember is that I am responsible for the well being of Hong Kong, I'm looking after the long term interests of Hong Kong, and we do that properly, we listen very carefully to the views of Hong Kong people and we take us forward on that basis, and that is very important. Obviously, we hope very much the Sino-US relationship will continue to improve."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Chief Executive, Hong Kong
Tung was on his first visit to the United States since the British government ended 156 years of colonial rule and returned Hong Kong to Chinese sovereignty on July 1.
The former shipping executive is scheduled to meet President Clinton on Friday.

He is expected to be facing demands from U-S lawmakers to make good on his promise to uphold democracy in Hong Kong.

Tung's four-day stay in Washington and New York is expected to include a meeting with U-S President Bill Clinton.
The 60 year old shipping tycoon was appointed chief executive of the territory's semi- autonomous government when Beijing took over Hong Kong on July 1.
He is intimately acquainted with American life from the 10 years he lived there, and is on friendly terms with many senior officials in Washington.
Apart from various engagements with economic and political think tanks, Tung is scheduled to meet with U-S Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin and hold extensive talks with congressmen and senators, some of whom are sharp critics of China.
His published schedule does not include time with Clinton, but his office said on Monday the two were looking forward to meeting each other.
Tung told guests at a welcoming party at the Chinese Embassy that in the two months since the hand over, the government had continued to function normally and the Hong Kong lifestyle had been maintained.

English/Nat
British Foreign Secretary Malcolm Rifkind and Hong Kong's Chief Executive Designate have failed to narrow differences over plans to disband the territory's legislature and roll back civil liberties.
A meeting between Rifkind and Tung Chee-Hwa in Hong Kong Sunday was the highest level talks between the territory's Chief Executive in-waiting and a British official since Tung's selection last December.
At a press conference after the talks, Rifkind said deep disagreements with China on various human rights issues and Hong Kong's Provisional Legislature are still the main causes for concern.
British Foreign Secretary Malcolm Rifkind was in Hong Kong Sunday for his first meeting with the man who will take over the running of the territory after the British return it to China on July 1st this year.
The Foreign Secretary met Hong Kong's Chief Executive Designate Tung Chee-Hwa at Government House to talk about the handover and Hong Kong's future.
Rifkind is the highest-ranking British official to meet Tung since his selection as the Chief Executive Designate last December.
He told Tung that China's plans to roll back civil liberties in Hong Kong after the handover had damaged confidence in the territory.
China says it'll disband the colony's elected legislature and replace it with a body elected by a 400-member China-backed committee following the handover.
At a press conference later Sunday, Rifkind said deep disagreements with China on various human rights issues and Hong Kong's Provisional Legislature were still the main causes for concern.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"On the P-L (Provisional Legislature) and on the human rights aspects, they are a serious impediment to the kind of smooth transition that we would ideally wish. We will have to all do our best to ensure that there is a smooth and successful transition, but it is much more difficult because of these disagreements on the two issues."
SUPER CAPTION: Malcolm Rifkind, British Foreign Secretary
Rifkind said the British government would continue to raise these issues with China.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We will continue, along with the people of Hong Kong, to make clear by every means available, both before 30th of June and thereafter, the damage that is doing to Hong Kong. And I believe that increasingly that will be the view of the United States, of other countries, and we must continue to work with these matters. Look, I'm not going to pretend to you that after the 30th of June, we are the sovereign power, we are not the sovereign power."
SUPER CAPTION: Malcolm Rifkind, British Foreign Secretary
With only 135 days left before the handover, Rifkind said Britain's commitment to Hong Kong would continue, through the Joint Liaison Group, until the year 2000.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"And our commitment to the welfare of the people of Hong Kong will continue as long as they will benefit from that interest, and that I believe will be for a very many years."
SUPER CAPTION: Malcolm Rifkind, British Foreign Secretary
During this visit at least, it seems Rifkind and Tung have failed to narrow the differences between the British and the Chinese governments over Hong Kong.
And time is running out before Hong Kong reverts to Chinese rule at the end of June.

Cantonese/Mand/Eng
Hong Kong's new leader Tung Chee-hwa paid his first visit to Chinese troops based in the former British colony on Wednesday.
Nearly 5-thousand People's Liberation Army (PLA) troops are stationed in 14 different barracks across the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong.
During Tung's visit, P-L-A garrison commander Major-General Liu Zhenwu attempted to reassure Hong Kong residents that his troops would respect the territory's laws.
Hong Kong's legal system has recently come under threat from a legal challenge which claims there are no valid laws in the territory until a newly elected legislature adopts them.
Hong Kong's Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa was given a warm welcome by China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) on Wednesday.
Tung inspected about 1-thousand P-L-A troops at Stonecutters Island military base in Victoria Harbour - the first time since his inauguration on July 1.
All 48-hundred troops stationed in Hong Kong were reportedly given intensive training on understanding the territory's laws and regulations prior to their arrival.
Under the terms of Hong Kong's return to Chinese rule, the territory is to maintain its current capitalist ways for fifty years.
The central government in Beijing will be directly responsible only for Hong Kong's defence and foreign affairs.
In a speech welcoming Tung and his entourage to the new Chinese navy base, P-L-A garrison chief Major General Liu Zhenwu re-stated the army's purpose in Hong Kong.
SOUNDBITE (Mandarin):
"According to the Basic Law and the Garrison Law, our stationing in Hong Kong is to take responsibility in defending territorial and air security. To secure Hong Kong from any foreign attack and we will also assist the Special Administrative Region to maintain
social order and to take part in natural disaster relief."
SUPER CAPTION: Liu Zhenwu, P-L-A Major General
Tung was accompanied by Chief Secretary Anson Chan and Financial Secretary Donald Tsang - who were all shown various warships and were briefed by P-L-A soldiers.
Tung said the P-L-A would answer directly to Beijing.
SOUNDBITE (English):
"Well, the PLA is in Hong Kong to demonstrate the sovereignty of China over Hong Kong. The PLA is in Hong Kong to carry out defence responsibilities if there is any need. And so far as their responsibility is concerned, they of course report directly to the authorities in central Beijing."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Chief Executive of Hong Kong
On Wednesday, it appeared that Beijing would face its first test since last week's handover on allowing Hong Kong a broad measure of autonomy.
Hong Kong's highest court, the Court of Appeal, looks set to rule before the end of the month on the legality of laws passed by the Beijing-appointed Provisional Legislature.
Some observers have said the case might ultimately be decided in Beijing despite China's pledge to preserve the authority of Hong Kong courts.
Members of the new legislature on Tuesday signed the Affirmation of Allegiance book inside the Legislative Council, by which they swear to uphold the Basic Law and serve Hong Kong.
But questions are now being raised over whether the 60 strong body actually has any legal standing and over the status of laws which existed before the handover on July 1.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Well, I think the quicker it is resolved the better. I hope that the case could be brought before the judiciary as soon as possible. I'm quite confident that our position is quite secure."
SUPER CAPTION: Rita Fan, chair of the Hong Kong Provisional Legislature
The decision to review the laws was taken after lawyers for three defendants in a corruption trial argued charges against them were invalid.

English/Nat
Hong Kong's Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa said on Tuesday it was time to put behind historical differences with Britain.
Tung - in London for a two-day visit - urged both sides to move forward.
His comments followed a meeting with British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Hong Kong's leader Tung Chee-hwa arrived at Ten Downing Street on Tuesday afternoon for talks with Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair.
It was the first meeting between the two leaders since Britain returned Hong Kong to Beijing on July 1.
In the run-up to the handover, Britain and China were often at odds - primarily over free elections and whether Beijing would continue to respect Hong Kong's freedoms and the rule of law.
The negotiations for the handover were carried out by the previous Conservative government, before Blair's Labour Party swept to power May 1.
Hong Kong's Chief Executive came to London with a message that everything is moving forward in the territory - while Blair told Tung that he was considering visiting China late next year.
No other details of their talk were given, but Tung described the meeting as useful.
SOUNDBITE (Cantonese):
"I had a very useful and cordial meeting with the Prime Minister. We covered the full range of subjects which are of interest to the United Kingdom and to Hong Kong. And it was a very good opportunity to discuss any of these subjects rather comprehensively. It was very, very useful."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Chief Executive, Hong Kong
Tung then attended a reception at the Chinese Embassy, where he was greeted by China's Ambassador Ma Zhengang.
While the two met privately inside, a few former political luminaries turned out - including former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher.
Under Thatcher, Britain held a series of drawn-out negotiations with China over Hong Kong's future - culminating in the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration which outlined the handover details.
Lord Wilson - who was governor of Hong Kong during part of Thatcher's reign - also made an unexpected and rare public appearance.
SOUNDBITE (English):
"I think what's really important is that the situation in Hong Kong is very good. That's what's nice to see."
SUPER CAPTION: David Wilson, former governor of Hong Kong
Ambassador Ma warmly praised Tung for maintaining Hong Kong's prosperity - indicating Beijing's continued approval of the Chief Executive.
Tung in turn echoed comments made by Blair earlier in the day and called for a new beginning in Sino-British relations.
SOUNDBITE (English):
"With the return of Hong Kong to China, the political baggage, the historic baggage, between Britain and China is being put away. And I think the relationship between China and the United Kingdom should turn over a new glorious stage. It is a relationship that is important to both the United Kingdom and to China and certainly very important to Hong Kong also."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Chief Executive, Hong Kong
One of the main disputes with Britain has been over China's disbanding of Hong Kong's elected legislature - on grounds that the voting rules were made by London without Beijing's consent.
A temporary, unelected legislature was installed on July 1 that excludes Hong Kong's most popular party, the Democrats.
Elections are now scheduled for May 24 - but only half the legislature will be elected and a new law sharply reduces the number of people who can vote.

wn.com/UK Tung Chee Hwa Seeks End To Differences Between UK And China
English/Nat
Hong Kong's Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa said on Tuesday it was time to put behind historical differences with Britain.
Tung - in London for a two-day visit - urged both sides to move forward.
His comments followed a meeting with British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Hong Kong's leader Tung Chee-hwa arrived at Ten Downing Street on Tuesday afternoon for talks with Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair.
It was the first meeting between the two leaders since Britain returned Hong Kong to Beijing on July 1.
In the run-up to the handover, Britain and China were often at odds - primarily over free elections and whether Beijing would continue to respect Hong Kong's freedoms and the rule of law.
The negotiations for the handover were carried out by the previous Conservative government, before Blair's Labour Party swept to power May 1.
Hong Kong's Chief Executive came to London with a message that everything is moving forward in the territory - while Blair told Tung that he was considering visiting China late next year.
No other details of their talk were given, but Tung described the meeting as useful.
SOUNDBITE (Cantonese):
"I had a very useful and cordial meeting with the Prime Minister. We covered the full range of subjects which are of interest to the United Kingdom and to Hong Kong. And it was a very good opportunity to discuss any of these subjects rather comprehensively. It was very, very useful."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Chief Executive, Hong Kong
Tung then attended a reception at the Chinese Embassy, where he was greeted by China's Ambassador Ma Zhengang.
While the two met privately inside, a few former political luminaries turned out - including former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher.
Under Thatcher, Britain held a series of drawn-out negotiations with China over Hong Kong's future - culminating in the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration which outlined the handover details.
Lord Wilson - who was governor of Hong Kong during part of Thatcher's reign - also made an unexpected and rare public appearance.
SOUNDBITE (English):
"I think what's really important is that the situation in Hong Kong is very good. That's what's nice to see."
SUPER CAPTION: David Wilson, former governor of Hong Kong
Ambassador Ma warmly praised Tung for maintaining Hong Kong's prosperity - indicating Beijing's continued approval of the Chief Executive.
Tung in turn echoed comments made by Blair earlier in the day and called for a new beginning in Sino-British relations.
SOUNDBITE (English):
"With the return of Hong Kong to China, the political baggage, the historic baggage, between Britain and China is being put away. And I think the relationship between China and the United Kingdom should turn over a new glorious stage. It is a relationship that is important to both the United Kingdom and to China and certainly very important to Hong Kong also."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Chief Executive, Hong Kong
One of the main disputes with Britain has been over China's disbanding of Hong Kong's elected legislature - on grounds that the voting rules were made by London without Beijing's consent.
A temporary, unelected legislature was installed on July 1 that excludes Hong Kong's most popular party, the Democrats.
Elections are now scheduled for May 24 - but only half the legislature will be elected and a new law sharply reduces the number of people who can vote.
Blair's office said the prime minister discussed the election with Tung but gave no details.
During Tung's visit, East Asia's economic and financial crisis appeared to hit Hong Kong for the first time.

In Conversation： Anson Chan
Stephen Davies: "Do we need another July 1st March when there are 500,000 people out on the street to focus minds?"

For Anson Chan, who was both the final Chief Secretary of the colonial administration and the first Chief Secretary of the SAR administration, the 17 years since the handover have not seen improvement in the civil service or in Hong Kong society. Politically-appointed ministers, she says, have done serious damage to the morale of civil servants, and to the objectivity with which the government once did its job.

The health condition of Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
leaders, as well as their distribution of power, had always been top secret.
However, in an interview with U.S. Cable News Network
(CNN), Tung Chee-hwa, the former Hong Kong Chief Executive,
actively mentioned the reasons why Xi Jinping went missing
for two weeks.
Tung also said after the 18th National People's Congress (NPC)
meeting, Hu Jintao will remain Chairman of the Central Military Commission.
Outsiders speculate Tung may have been assigned to reveal
the information with the purpose to cover up internal conflicts,
and convey a message to outside that the CCP will have
a smooth transition in the 18th NPC.
Xi Jinping, future leader in China, mysteriously disappeared
for two weeks and rumors abound.
When Tung Chee-hwa, the former Hong Kong Chief Executive,
was interviewed by CNN, he disclosed the secret unintentionally.
During the interview, the female anchor asked about attention
Xi Jinping's disappearance received by the outside world,
and Tung Chee-hwa surely responded that Xi hurt his back
while swimming, but has recovered and is back to work.
Even more unexpectedly, when the female anchor asked
if Hu Jintao will remain the military leader after the succession of Xi Jinping,
Mr. Tung Chee Hwa said frankly he did not have information available, but "based on past experience,
he (Hu Jintao) will remain in this position for some time."
This is the first time that a national leader disclosed that
after the CCP General Secretary Hu Jintao resigns,
he will follow the example of Jiang Zemin
to master military power.
Hong Kong's Apple Daily also revealed that the relationship
between Mr. Tung and Xi Jinping is profound.
At the early stage of Hong Kong's return, Xi Jinping
and Tung had close communications.
In early 2012, when Xi Jinping visited the United States,
Tung accompanied him.
In March 2012, in the 'Pig and Wolf Fight' during
the Hong Kong Chief Executive election, Tang Yingnian,
supported by the Jiang faction, lost ground
and Leung Chun-ying won.
It was reported that this was closely related to Tung
Chee-hwa's strong support and Xi Jinping's decision.
[Zhang Jian, Chairman of the China Democratic Committee]:
"At this time, Tung Chee-hwa released these messages,
which is telling the world as well as internal
workers that Xi Jinping's position is very solid.
Hu Jintao will follow a CCP policy in the past to 'help Xi Jinping
take office,' and supervise Xi for a certain period."
As an independent commentator, Zhang Jian believes that
Mr Tung Chee Hwa was releasing a message to the outside world:
China is stable, and the Communist Youth League faction
can still control the situation.
However, commentator Lan Shu has a different interpretation.
[Commentator Lan Shu]: "The personnel arrangement
in the CCP's 18th NPC has not been decided fully. There are still possible changes.
In addition, Tung is actually intentionally covering up the core
issue which truly affects the 18th NPC arrangements, that is, how to deal with Bo Xilai."
Lan Shu said that if Bo Xilai's case involves the interests of
different factions, without solving Bo's case,
the personnel arrangements of the 18th NPC cannot be finalized.
Lan Shu pointed out that people like Mr Tung Chee Hwa
will not ordinarily make comments at sensitive times.
So, Tung is attempting to cover up the CCP's infighting,
and give us an illusion that the power transition is smooth.
Hong Kong political commentator Lin Heli also said that
Tung Chee-hwa has reliable sources in Beijing,
and his disclosure of high-level CCP inside news
to foreign media was ordered."
But if Hu really will remain commander-in-chief,
there are "still variables."
Prior to this, overseas media said President Hu Jintao
will resign from all positions, and hand over power as chairman of the Central Military Commission.
Zhang pointed out that the CCP leaders always fiercely fight
for power, and nobody actively gives up power.
It is the same for Hu Jintao and Xi Jinping.
Deutsche Presse Agentur (DPA) obtained information from a circle of Chinese reporters
that the 18th NPC will be held on October 18 or 19 in Beijing.
[Zhang Jian]: "The 18th NPC will take place as usual.
They will still claim it to be a success as usual.
But for Chinese people, it is a waste of money,
and adds a stain to the history of China."
Zhang believes that from Bo Xilai's case,
to the Diaoyu Islands (Senkaku Islands) dispute,
and the U.S. ambassador's car smashing, it shows that
infighting still exists within the CCP factions.
Zhang said China lacks an authority figure, which makes
the 18th NPC face unprecedented difficulties.
As long as this system exists, it is a scourge of China;
China can only have hope after the CCP system is destroyed.

Hong Kong's Chief Executive told journalists he was looking for stronger leadership from the United States as the financial crisis continues in Asia.

In a rare meeting with members of the Associated Press board, Tung Chee-hwa held a question an answer session, which focused largely on the economic crisis in the region.
Tung has fallen under heavy criticism for government intervention in the stock and foreign exchange markets.
During his interview, he said Beijing stood by the decision and would continue to do so for as long as speculators continued to attack the market.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We have no plans whatsoever to deal in our currency to the United States dollar."

He did make a point of saying they weren't interfering in the market by choice but by necessity.

"We don't want to interfere in the marketplace. We are not there to support a stock market at any particular level, this is not our business. But what we do not want to see if the market being manipulated so that it is no longer free anymore and that, the stockmarket, the futures market were being played along with our foreign currency market and that is something which we feel is very damaging as a free market economy for us in Hong Kong so we intervened - we've made our point."

Tung went on to say any help from America would be deeply appreciated.

Answer: "I really think this is an area where American leadership is very, very important, very, very much missed. I am sure America is doing a whole lot of things and I'm sure we'd like to see America doing a whole lot more to, in terms of exerting leadership at this very difficult time."

British Prime Minister Tony Blair was on Friday facing criticism from democracy advocates in Hong Kong, for his country's partnership with China.
The leader of Hong Kong's major opposition Democratic Party accused Blair of shelving human rights and democracy in favour of maintaining profitable trade.
Blair defended the closer relations he has engineered with China, saying Britain's trade and investment dealings with the mainland must be allowed to thrive and that Hong Kong could only benefit from them.
The British Prime Minister with Tung Chee-hwa, part of a day of meetings with key political figures in Hong Kong.
The handshake marks the first meeting for the two leaders since sovereignty of this former British colony was transferred to China last July.
Tony Blair later attended a dinner hosted by the territory's chief executive.
Here, Tung emphasised that the special relationship between Britain and Hong Kong.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Hong Kong is now proudly a part of China, but Hong Kong and Britain will always have a very special relationship. It will remain a permanent part of the character of this place, to be the city in which Britain and China can meet, in commerce, in culture and in friendship to create lasting bonds and benefits."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong chief executive
The British Prime Minister said the capitalist territory's return to the communist mainland 15 months ago had been a success.
In his address, Blair reiterated that China and Britain have entered a new era, with much of the suspicion and bitterness over Hong Kong in the past 156 years behind
them.
And Blair said closer ties between China and Britain were in Hong Kong's interest.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"It is important in my view, as I was saying today, for Hong Kong, that Britain and China have a good strong relationship for the future. A relationship where we can be frank with each other on issues like the progress on human rights or democracy where we can state our differences openly and plainly, but a relationship that is built on dialogue and partnership for the future."
SUPER CAPTION: Tony Blair, British prime minister
Blair had earlier faced criticism from Martin Lee, leader of Hong Kong's major opposition Democratic Party, who accused Blair of not doing enough to help democracy as he engineered closer ties with China.
He said Blair gave of profitable trade and investment links with the mainland priority over human rights and democracy.
Blair, however, defended China's hands-off policy towards Hong Kong, saying China has kept its side of the bargain and honoured its commitments to Britain.
He added that human rights issues such as freedom and dissent were raised in his meetings with Chinese leaders.
The British premier also urged nations in financial turmoil to keep their nerve and hold fast to prudent fiscal policies, while strengthening social safety nets for the poor.
Blair arrived in former British colony Friday for a two-day visit, the last stop on his China tour.
His schedule on Saturday includes a visit to a British community and a trip to a Hong Kong shopping mall.

A 59-year-old pro-Beijing businessman has been selected as Hong Kong's first post-colonial Chief Executive.
Tung Chee-hwa will govern the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong when its sovereignty is transferred to China on 1st July next year.
Tung, a shipping tycoon, won with 320 of the 398 valid votes.
It was a fateful morning for Hong Kong as Selection Committee members gathered at the city's Convention and Exhibition Centre to drop their ballots on the future of the territory.
The 400-strong committee had been appointed by Beijing based on nominations from the Hong Kong public.
Among its members - a broad spectrum of Hong Kong society; ranging from big business to trade unions, clerics and former politicians.
The outcome of the vote was an overwhelming success for the leading candidate - with 320 of the 398 valid votes, Tung Chee-hwa left his two opponents far behind.
The chairman of the proceedings, China's Foreign Minister Qian Qichen, announced the name of the winner.
SOUNDBITE: (Mandarin)
"I now declare that Mr. Tung has been elected Chief Executive of the first Hong Kong Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China."
SUPER CAPTION: Qian Qichen, Chinese Foreign Minister
Tung will officially take over the post from British Governor Chris Patten on July 1, 1997.
He has long fostered a close relationship with the Chinese mainland.
And with relatives in Taiwan, Tung is also seen as someone who can help Taipei and Beijing toward reunification.
After the vote, Tung held a brief press conference for journalists.
The pressures and responsibilities of the large job now ahead of him did not seem to dampen his spirits.
SOUNDBITE: (Cantonese)
"At this moment, I am very excited. Because 400 Selection Committee members and six million people have given me my proudest moment in life. But I must alert myself that this job will definitely have its difficulties and challenges. But I have full confidence. Confidence in myself, confidence in the 400 Selection Committee members and I have confidence in the six million Hong Kong residents."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong Chief Executive Designate
Tung said his future plans will include a meeting with Governor Chris Patten as well as with Chinese officials in Beijing.
Martin Lee, Chairman of the Democratic Party who had demanded an election by universal suffrage, said Tung now had to learn how to stand up for Hong Kong's interests.
SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH)
"I am afraid he said many things which make the people of Hong Kong feel that he was actually playing the role of China's spokesman of Hong Kong and I can only hope that now that he is elected, he would learn to become the champion of Hong Kong rights
and what the people of Hong Kong want."
SUPER CAPTION: Martin Lee, Chairman of the Democratic Party
As members of the Selection Committee filed out of the convention hall, many were happy with the result of the selection process.
SOUNDBITE: (Cantonese)
"I think I went through a very serious analysis before voting for Mr. Tung. He, in various aspects is worthy of my support. His international relationships, his knowledge of the Chinese government, his communication skills with leaders and his outlook for Hong Kong is much more comprehensive in comparison to the other two candidates."

For the first time since its troubled opening, Hong Kong's Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa has visited Chek Lap Kok airport.
The airport authorities have had difficulties with the new operation, with cargo handling severely disrupted.
The territory's leader was confronted by angry protestors who claim he has embarrassed Hong Kong in the eyes of the international community.
Hong Kong's Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa arrived at the trouble-filled cargo terminal at the new Chek Lap Kok International Airport on Monday.
Hong Kong's main cargo handler, H-A-C-T-L, estimates that it will be August before the airport will be able to handle cargo at full capacity.
The government estimates this delay will cost Hong Kong 0,35 percent of its Gross Domestic Product, resulting in losses equal to 589 million US-dollars.
The Chief Executive's second stop was the main passenger terminal building where he came face-to-face with angry demonstrators.
The protestors held a banner reading Chief Executive Should Have Intervened Earlier as they chanted slogans at the packed passenger terminal.
Since its troubled opening on July 6, 1998 Hong Kong's new airport has encountered problems with malfunctioning computers, halted cargo as well as lost luggage.
While lawmakers are putting the pressure on the Airport Authority to take responsibility for the chaos, Tung says the main focus should be placed on finding a solution.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
\"It's not time to point fingers at different people because this doesn't help the situation. We really need to get the airport going first, and in this way we can show the world what Hong Kong really can do together.\"
SUPERCAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong Chief Executive
The new airport is more than four times larger than its predecessor, Kai Tak International.
The new hi-tech design and computer systems were supposed to provide more efficiency as well as increased passenger flexibility.
However, since its opening two weeks ago, it has caused passengers and cargo handlers nothing but trouble.
Meanwhile, the Airport Authority maintains that C-L-K's passenger terminal is already functioning to its full capacity.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
\"I think what was wrong was simply the challenges of moving an airport overnight and then operating a completely new facility from scratch. There were some problems with baggage handling on the first day, there were some problems with computer displays, the big screens. All of those problems were ironed out, the airport was never in danger of closing it simply took longer for passengers to get through. Now they'll get through our airport faster than they did the old airport at Kai Tak.\"
SUPERCAPTION: Clinton Leeks, Hong Kong Corporate Development Director
For now, part of the cargo will be processed through the old Kai Tak international airport to facilitate the operations of C-L-K.
Hong Kong officials have also struck a deal for airlines to use the bordering mainland city of Shenzhen's Huangtian airport.
Officials said Huangtian could handle up to 30 percent of the territory's usual cargo.
Some airlines have also been using the airport in the nearby Portuguese enclave of Macau.

Tung Chee-hwa promised Asian central bankers and members of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) meeting that the dynamism of the territory's economy and financial markets will remain unchanged.

In concluding remarks, Governor Chris Patten's successor Tung Chee-hwa tried to reassure the participants.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"At this historic juncture in Hong Kong, it is important that we review our commitment to the traditional Chinese values which has been with us for thousands of years. At the same time, we need to reaffirm our commitment to preserve rule of law, our lifestyle.

English/Nat
Thailand's prime minister said on Monday that tight credit controls needed to protect the baht are hurting his country's trade competitiveness.
Prime Minister Chuan Leekpai said it had hoped to export its way out of its economic crisis but that policy was proving difficult.
Speaking at an investors' forum in Hong Kong, Leekpai also pledged to continue a corruption crackdown.
Although economic recovery in Thailand is the main topic at the forum, economists are concerned that unrest in Indonesia could hamper a smooth recovery in the short term.
Thai Prime Minister Chuan Leekpai arrived in Hong Kong on Monday for a global investors' forum.
Hong Kong's Chief Executive, Tung Chee-hwa, hosted a lunch in honour of the Thai Prime Minister at Government House.
After signing the visitor's book, Chuan and Tung held a brief meeting.
Hong Kong has substantial investments in Thailand, so the pair had much to talk about.
At a forum meeting attended by more than 700 global investors, Chuan said his government needed to strike a balance between high interest rates to protect the baht and its export competitiveness.
The Thai government, under its International Monetary Fund bailout programme, is required to keep credit tight.
But it has been expressing strong interest in recent days in getting approval for looser conditions during the current I-M-F quarterly review.
Chuan also pledged to continue the corruption crackdown.
Reforms are aimed at preventing conflicts of interest, ensuring proper checks and balances and full accountability, Chuan said.
He said Thailand was committed to its economic reform packages.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We strictly implemented a comprehensive reform package, put together in close collaboration with the I-M-F, the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank. We are committed to the reform package because we genuinely believe such reforms are necessary for the well-being of our country."
SUPER CAPTION: Chuan Leekpai, Thai Prime Minister
Although the Thai government has managed to control inflation, economic growth is expected to be low.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Turning to the future, I see three key challenges to our economic recovery: one, accelerating export growth; two, expediting corporate restructuring in Thailand; and three, committing to real reforms and good governance."
SUPER CAPTION: Chuan Leekpai, Thai Prime Minister
Although economic recovery in Thailand is the main topic at this forum, the unrest in Indonesia is also affecting financial instability in the region.
Economists are concerned that the violence in Indonesia could hamper a smooth recovery in the short term.
But they are optimistic that the future of the Asian economic recovery will remain strong.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Will investors be able to divorce the Indonesian problem from these other countries? Yes, in time. But the knee-jerk reaction is always the first thing that comes into many markets, and currencies will be affected in the very short term by what's happening in Indonesia. But I think people will be able to see through relatively quickly."
SUPER CAPTION: Jim Walker, Global Chief Economist
Chuan told the forum there was little chance that Thailand would follow Indonesia's violent path.
Although unemployment in Thailand looks set to peak at around two (m) million at midyear, he said the countryside could absorb many of them.
Chuan said Thailand was an open and democratic society with respect for its royal institution, which he said was a strong stabilising force in the country.

Chuan told the forum there was little chance that Thailand would follow Indonesia's violent path.
Although unemployment in Thailand looks set to peak at around two (m) million at midyear, he said the countryside could absorb many of them.
Chuan said Thailand was an open and democratic society with respect for its royal institution, which he said was a strong stabilising force in the country.

Stephen Davies: "Do we need another July 1st March when there are 500,000 people out on the street to focus minds?"
Anson Chan: "I hope it won't come to that, but this I can say with certainty: If this time around the SAR government and Beijing do not deliver on their promise, then I think you will induce people to go in for mass mobilisation."
For Anson Chan, who was both the final Chief Secretary of the colonial administration and the first Chief Secretary of the SAR administration, the 17 years since the handover have not seen improvement in the civil service or in Hong Kong society. Politically-appointed ministers, she says, have done serious damage to the morale of civil servants, and to the objectivity with which the government once did its job.
And if anyone knows the workings of the civil service it should be Anson Chan, who has spent her entire working life as a civil servant since becoming an administrative service cadet in 1962. She later broke new ground to become the first female civil service director when appointed Director of Social Welfare in 1984.
During her time in the government, Ms Chan was generally seen as a loyal civil servant, although her outspokenness against some comments from mainland Chinese officials and supporters, including defending Radio Television Hong Kong's editorial independence, placed her under some pressure from Beijing. She retired in April of 2001, reportedly increasingly at odds with Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa, despite having initially planned to stay until June 2002.
Since her retirement Ms Chan has become increasingly vocal on pro-democracy issues, and has most recently been taking part in the universal suffrage walk. In the past, she was proposed by some as a possible Chief Executive candidate, but she has since said she is not interested in the post.
In April 2013, Anson Chan launched "Hong Kong 2020" to monitor and comment on the progress of constitutional reform. But there is no doubt she is worried about the future.
Anson Chan: "What I say now is I think, yes, I advise my children to give their children as many options as possible because given what I've seen happening in Hong Kong in recent years and particularly in the two years that CY has been in the post, I am really not very sure whether Hong Kong will remain the place that we all love. "
This week on "In Conversation" Anson Chan talks about the quest for universal suffrage, governance problems in Hong Kong, and whether the SAR can avoid becoming just another Chinese city.

English/Nat
British Foreign Secretary Malcolm Rifkind met with Hong Kong's Chief Executive Designate Tung Chee-Hwa Sunday morning in Hong Kong.
This was the highest level talks between Tung and a British official since Tung's selection last December.
Rifkind and Chinese leaders still do not see eye to eye on guarantees of civil liberties in Hong Kong after the Chinese take over on July first.
British Foreign Secretary Malcolm Rifkind is in Hong Kong for his first ever meeting with the man who will take over, once the British leave on July the first.
Rifkind flew in from Singapore where he met with China's Foreign Minister Qian Chichen.
He echoed the British position that China's plans to roll back civil liberties in Hong Kong after the handover in July have damaged confidence in the colony.
Rifkind told reporters at Hong Kong airport after arriving from Singapore on Saturday night, that Beijing should "fundamentally change" aspects of its policy on Hong Kong to ensure the British colony's successful transition to Chinese rule.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"For the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, the transition later this year is the single highest priority of our international relations at the present time and that is rightly so and will continue to be so."
SUPER CAPTION: Malcolm Rifkind, British Foreign Secretary
Rifkind said he had underscored the British policy on the controversial Provisional Legislature and human rights issues to Qian.
China's planned actions have led to a ground swell of criticism both in Hong Kong and abroad.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Our policy on the Provisional Legislature and on question of human rights have not altered by one millimeter, that was a point that I made very very clear to Qian Qichen yesterday."
SUPER CAPTION: Malcolm Rifkind, British Foreign Secretary
China says it will disband the colony's elected legislature and replace it with a body elected by a 400-member China-backed committee, because the present
legislature was elected under rules it did not agree with.
It also maintains that the colonial government amended the civil liberties laws without its consent, making them conflict with the Basic Law, the 1997 constitution for Hong
Kong.
Sunday morning, Rifkind arrived at Government House to meet Tung Chee-hwa, the future leader who will rule Hong Kong after the July 1st handover.
Rifkind is the highest British official to meet Tung after his selection as the Chief Executive of Hong Kong in December 1996.
Earlier Sunday morning, Rifkind met with other key government officials.
After the meeting, Tung talked his first meeting with Rifkind.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We exchanged views very generally about the role of the Britain after 1997, I emphasized the importance of the British commercial interest in Hong Kong, a vital role that this interest plays and I want to make sure they continue to play a very important and vibrant
role here."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-Hwa, Chief Executive Designate of Hong Kong
When talking about the controversial issues such as the Provisional legislature, which will replace the elected legislature, Tung is firm about his position.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"It is important to consult, is there scope for change of my position? I think I will listen very carefully to the voice on these consultations. But on the other hand, you know, I have a set of values and beliefs which I will hold onto very much. Nevertheless the whole purpose of consultation is to listen to the voice of many different sectors and find a way to look forward, which is the best for the community."

On the 20th, Wen Jiabao attended his last EU-China
Summit as the Chinese Prime Minister.
He described his future life as "secluded"
while calling for political form.
This is the third time Wen Jiabao mentioned
political reform in the past 10 days.
Commentators say this indicates Wen Jaibao will promote
political reform after he leaves his Prime Minister position.
Wen Jiabao, the soon to retire Prime Minister of the
Communist regime, met local overseas Chinese in Brussels,
prior to his return to Beijing after the EU-China Summit.
During the meeting he said, "I will soon leave my post to live
a secluded life, but my heart will always connect to the country and the people."
He also stressed that in order for the Chinese to live a life
of freedom and equality,
political system reform and the development of
democracy and the rule of law must be insisted upon.
Wen Jiabao frequently participated in activities this September.
Other than the speech in Brussels, he also delivered a speech
at Tsinghua University on the 14th, and attended Summer Davos in Tianjin on the 11th.
He talked about both political reform and his retirement
in those meetings.
Guo Yongfeng, organizer of the Federation of Chinese citizens
who would Supervise the Government (FCSG), indicates that
Wen Jiabao actually disclosed his intention to "retire
but continue to work" and lead political reform after the 18th National Congress.
This practice of retired-but-still-active phenomenon
is common in the Communist regime.
The current leadership wants to affect the succession
who will then continue implementing their policies.
Guo Yongfeng, FCSG organizer: "The power in CCP generally
is inherited, and thus the leader is retired but still active.
It is not a democratic society, where retirement means
you're completely finished with work and relations.
In the CCP society, it is impossible to completely retire.
Therefore, even though stepping down, Wen Jiabao will
continue to exert his influence. There's no doubt about it."
Wen Jiabao has described his determination to enact
political reform as "rain or shine," until the end of his life.
However, political reform nearly never started.
Political commentator Hu Ping comments that after stepping
down, Wen Jiabao ought to make concrete move in promoting freedom and human rights.
Political commentator Hu Ping: "In his position,
his words have special meaning.
After he steps down, he will not play his role right if he can
not make it clear. He has been a Prime Minister for 10 years.
Not until a couple of years ago did he begin to talk,
because his position was finally more secure in these years.
His international and domestic images have been set.
He knows that his position is secured now."
In addition, the former Hong Kong Chief Executive Tung
Chee-hwa, recently revealed to CNN that
Xi Jinping will still be the next leader of China, and "current
Chinese President Hu Jintao will most likely maintain leadership of the military after Xi becomes president."
That Tung Chee Hwa was believed to break the news with
"permission" suggests that Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao will both retire but remain active.
Current affairs commentator Xia Shiaujiang indicates that
previously Jiang's faction released negative news about Hu,
Wen, and Xi through overseas media and intended to drive a wedge between Hu and Xi.
For example, Xi Jinping could not take over because of
health reasons; Hu Jintao will "completely retire" after the 18th National Congress.
Tung Chee-hwa, in his interview, not only denied the rumor
but also painted a picture of Hu and Xi's unified relationship.
Taiwan Institute of Chinese Communist Studies researcher
Lin Jia-Ling pointed out in a symposium held on the 21st that
Xi Jinping will maintain Hu's policy for a while
after taking over the leadership.
Guo Yongfeng believes that under the CCP system,
the fundamental reform will make little progress.
Guo Yongfeng: "First and foremost, the priority is to end
the one-party ruling of the Communist Party.
One-party ruling is a dictatorship and is not going to work.
Political reform should follow the rule of law,
from ordinary people to the officials.
To supervise and regulate the Party,
freedom of speech must convey."
Earlier, the Hong Kong media reported that according
to information from Beijing,
Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao are likely to stay after the 18th
National Congress to supervise the CCP implementing a format not yet decided on.
It is said that during the National Congress, general secretary
Xi Jinping will propose to restore the Central Advisory
Commission with Hu Jintao as the director and the Chairman
of the Central Military Commission.
In this case, Wen Jiabao would be the deputy director.

Kohl met the future leader of Hong Kong under Chinese sovereignty, Tung Chee Hwa, and the present Governor, Chris Patten. With just six weeks to go until Hong Kong's sovereignty is returned to China, Chancellor Kohl met the territory's new leader in waiting, Tung Chee Hwa, on Friday. Tung is said to have found the talks "very useful and interesting". He stressed that German business was a very important part of Hong Kong and would continue to play a role there, even after the handover on 1 July. Tung was also said to have "communicated the feeling" that the Joint Declaration signed by London and Beijing on the future of the Special Adminis... -
HONG KONG: FUTURE LEADER TUNG CHEE-HWA HOLDS PRESS CONFERENCE
English/Natural Sound Hong Kong got a powerful confidence boost Thursday with the announcement that virtually all its top civil servants will stay in office after China takes over on July 1. Although unconnected with the death Wednesday of Chinese leader, Deng Xiaoping, the announcement was a timely one. This announcement is likely to have a calming effect on those in Hong Kong who fear instability now that Deng, architect of Hong Kong's return to China, is dead. Hong Kong's future leader, Tung Chee-hwa, flew to Beijing Wednesday to seek China's endorsement of his nominations for the top posts, returning to the colony just 24 hours later. At a press conference the future governor paid tribute to the Chinese leaders commitment and vision. SOUNDBITE: (English) "I am... -

CHINA: ADVISERS ON HANDOVER OF HONG KONG BEGIN 2 DAY OF TALKS
Natural Sound China's hand-picked advisers on the handover of Hong Kong began two days of talks in Beijing on Thursday. The Hong Kong Preparatory Committee - which includes the colony's Chief Executive designate Tung Chee-hwa - met China's Foreign Minister Qian Qichen in the Great Hall of the People. Hong Kong's Preparatory Committee opened its last session of talks on Thursday before the colony is returned to China on July 1. The members gathered at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing to meet Chinese Foreign Minister Qian Qichen - who chairs the committee. The group is due to discuss a number of handover matters, particularly issues of sovereignty. All 150 members are Hong Kong and Chinese individuals, hand picked by Beijing to help ensure a smooth transition.... -
HONG KONG: FUTURE LEADER TUNG REVEALS CHANGES IN NEW LEGAL CODE
English/Nat Hong Kong's future leader, Tung Chee-hwa, has revealed minor changes in the new legal code that will apply to the colony after the handover to China on July 1. But this latest attempt to defuse criticism over a lack of civil rights, received a chilly response from the U-K government. It claimed the present code did not require any changes. The Chief Executive designate Tung Chee-hwa, appears to have been stung by the outcry over plans to tighten civil liberties in the territory after July the first. After three weeks of public consultation and discussion with Beijing, Tung announced on Thursday that the rules on public protests and political funding would be diluted. One significant change Beijing wants introduced is a law whereby police require up to seven d...

Cant/Eng/Nat
Hong Kong's first post-colonial leader Tung Chee-Hwa had his first meeting with the new legislative team which will take over when the British colony reverts to Chinese rule next year.
With only 183 days left before the handover, Tung is moving quickly to assemble a cabinet and work out a relationship with the provisional legislature.
It was formed by the Chinese to replace the existing chamber.
The establishment of the Provisional Legislature was widely opposed by pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong who accuse the new members of being hand-picked by the Chinese government.
With only six months until the Chinese takeover, Hong Kong's politics has become an almost daily news story.
Monday saw the first meeting between the Chief Executive designate Tung Chee-Hwa since his selection and the new Provisional Legislature.
It will replace the elected Legislation Council after the handover and will only then become operational.
Tung has been the focus of media attention following his election as the Special Administrative Region (SAR) Chief Executive of Hong Kong last month.
To woo members of the newly elected Provisional Legislature, he invited them to lunch on Monday hoping to come up with a blueprint on his post handover team.
48 out of the 60 members of the Provisional Legislature attended the luncheon.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"The purpose for me is to congratulate them on their becoming a member of the provisional legislature and secondly to discuss very unofficially what the road ahead is like and I thought it was a very helpful discussion."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-Hwa. Hong Kong SAR Chief Executive Designate
The main agenda of the meeting was to discuss the issue of the election for a Provisional Legislature convenor.
Although according to members of the Provisional Legislature, candidates for the position have yet to be selected.
As Tung is forming up his post handover team for the SAR government, he is eager to meet with principle government officials.
He wants to discuss whether or not they would like to retain their positions.
Just days ago, Hong Kong's Chief Secretary Anson Chan expressed her desire to stay on in her job after the handover.
Tung said he will soon invite Anson Chan to go to China and meet Central Government officials.
SOUNDBITE: (Cantonese)
"It is very important for civil servants to remain neutral, we need to respect their neutrality, basically they will have to remain political neutral and of course civil servants have to cooperate with the provisional legislature. That is the fact."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-Hwa, Hong Kong SAR Chief Executive Designate
There are currently 24 principle officials, most of them are heads of various government departments and Tung has indicated he would like to retain them for his team.
Eric Lee, who is a member of the Provisional Legislature, expressed his concerns.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"It is legislation that cannot be applied after 1997. We have to look at that legislation as a matter of priority. I think we also have to scrutinise government expenditure. We cannot have a whole year without that happening. And besides that on major government policy issues I think we should personally speaking exercise as much restrain as possible."
SUPER CAPTION: Eric Lee, Member of Provisional legislature
Opponents of the Provisional legislature say the new members cannot treat themselves as a Legislative Council before the 1st of July 1997.
And they say it has no constitutional right to act before Britain relinquishes sovereignty over its last Asian outpost.

STORYLINE:
Hong Kong's political leader Tung Chee-hwa said on Friday that he has withdrawn the anti-subversion legislation that plunged his administration into crisis in July by sparking a massive public protest.
Tung said his decision was because of lingering worries among residents about the legislation, which critics said would erode Hong Kong's Western-style civil liberties.
Tung also said that Hong Kong should focus more on economic recovery and improving the unemployment situation.
Hong Kong has never fully recovered from the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis, and is currently battling record unemployment of 8.7 percent and deepening deflation.
This past year's SARS outbreak, which killed 299 people here, worsened the situation by prompting travel warnings that devastated Hong Kong's tourism and other business.
The territory slipped into a recession during the second quarter.
Legislative support for the anti-subversion legislation unraveled following a 500,000-strong protest march against the bill on July 1, and the bill was put on hold.
The matter forced Tung's government into an embarrassing retreat and threw it into the biggest crisis since Britain returned this former colony to China on July 1, 1997.
Two key ministers - the security and financial secretaries - resigned in the aftermath of the crisis.
Hong Kong is required to outlaw sedition, treason and subversion, under the mini-constitution negotiated for the 1997 handover. But critics said the Hong Kong government went too far with its proposed law.

English/Nat
The newly elected leader of Hong Kong, Tung Chee-hwa, who will lead the colony when it reverts to Chinese rule next year has given his first address to the Hong Kong business community.
Just 198 days before Hong Kong is handed back to China, Tung urged the local and international business communities to continue their support for a smooth transition.
Later in the day, Tung is due to meet with President Jiang Zemin in Beijing for the first time since his election last Wednesday.
In his first address to the Hong Kong business community since his selection last Wednesday, the 59 year old business tycoon Tung Chee-hwa sought to confirm business confidence in Hong Kong post '97.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"The myth is that the confidence in Hong Kong has completely eroded, and that Hong Kong has ceased to become a commercial focal point in the region. The reality is again quite the opposite, Hong Kong continues to serve as a regional headquarters for more then 700 major national and multinational corporations and 85 of the top 100 international banks"
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, SAR Chief Executive Designate
With close relatives still residing in Taiwan, Tung has long been seen as someone who will bring the two countries closer together.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"The successful implementation of one country, two systems can serve as a precedent for the eventual unification of the entire country. In the meantime as successful Hong Kong can continue to act as a bridge and a conduit for trade, cultural and other exchanges between mainland China and Taiwan.
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, SAR Chief Executive Designate
Tung emphasised that in order to solve differences he favoured negotiation over confrontation.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I would suggest by negotiation does not mean weakness, I would suggest that achieving our aims need not evolve through open confrontation or street demonstrations. Indeed results achieved through quite consultation tends to be more much more lasting and effective. I am therefore optimistic about overcoming these difficulties, bearing in mind that long term interest of mainland China and Hong Kong is one and the same"
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, SAR Chief Executive Designate
Many democratic Hong Kong citizens are against the establishment of the Provisional Legislature, appointed by the Beijing Government and set up this Saturday, to replace the elected Legislature.
There are also concerns about the election process: Tung was elected by 400 or so Hong Kong locals -- all hand-picked by Beijing.
Tung has been developed close relationships with Beijing ever since his shipping business was rescued from financial ruin by Chinese money ten years ago.
Tung claimed the system that put him in power is what required at this time in the territory's history, at the same time claiming that the S-A-R government will have a high degree of autonomy.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We must establish from the very beginning an authority of strong executive led government to stand up for the interests of Hong Kong people, and increase public confidence in Hong Kong by resolutely upholding the principles of one country two systems, and Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy as provided for by the Beijing government".
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, SAR Chief Executive Designate
Tung believes Hong Kong must promote greater communication with China at all levels.
Tung is due to depart for Beijing Tuesday afternoon.

Mandarin/Eng/Nat
The war of words over what kind of democracy, if any, Hong Kong will have once the Chinese take over on July 1st continues.
The Chinese have proposed repealing some of Hong Kong's civil rights laws leading to concerns in Britain and Hong Kong about what this will mean for human rights.
The Chinese maintain that any changes will be minimal with a guarantee of the people's rights.
At a glittering dinner in Hong Kong Thursday, Tung Chee Hwa accepted an award as "Leader of the Year 1996".
Tung is in line to take over the reins of leadership in Hong Kong on July 1st.
He may need all of his skills in the increasingly sharp debate over civil liberties in Hong Kong when it is handed back to China.
With the change of sovereignty just 159 days away, Tung Chee Hwa took the opportunity to refute accusations that proposals to repeal some of Hong Kong's laws would diminish human rights.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Some in Hong Kong have suggested that there are wholesale changes of Hong Kong laws proposed by the Preparatory Committee Legal subgroup. As you can see from the above, the changes are minimal. These allegations are far from being the truth.
With regards to the Bill of Rights, let me further state, there is no need for anxiety because Hong Kong people's freedom and rights are guaranteed by Chapter Three of the Basic Law.It is firmly enshrined."
SUPER CAPTION:Tung Chee Hwa, Chief Executive Designate
The changes under consideration would remove the supremacy of Hong Kong's 1991 Bill of Rights over other laws, and repeal amendments that brought laws into line with the Bill of Rights.
Their overall effect would be to weaken - although not remove - the right to demonstrate, to form organisations and to link such organisations to foreign groups.
In his speech,Tung Chee Hwa said the issue was balancing individual rights and the good of the public at large.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Some people in this community like you to believe this is a step backward on democracy and a step backward on human rights. This is not true. To the contrary, I am glad that at the beginning of this new era, at the time when we are master of our own house, we, the Hong Kong people, will have the opportunity to ask ourselves and our children: what are the values we should hold dearly for ourselves?"
SUPERCAPTION: Tung Chee Hwa, Chief Executive Designate
Tung maintained that the proposed changes concerning freedom of demonstration would leave Hong Kong no worse off than many Western cities where demonstrators require various permits.
Earlier at a meeting of the Legislative Council, Governor Chris Patten said Hong Kong would face a "terrible legal muddle" if laws are passed by a rival legislature which China has set up to bypass the elected one.
Governor Patten is trying to shame China's supporters by reminding them how vigorously they once defended the civil liberties they now propose to abolish.
In Beijing on Thursday China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Shen Guofang weighed in with a warning to Britain not to impose its own ways on others.
Shen addressed gave a strongly worded riposte to the protest lodged by the British government.
SOUNDBITE 2: (Mandarin)
SUPER CAPTION: Shen Guofang, Foreign Ministry Spokesman
Shen went on to say that after July 1st, no other nation will have any right to interfere nor make any irresponsible remarks concerning Hong Kong.
He called the proposed changes in civil rights laws a pragmatic and realistic approach to the transition back to Chinese rule in Hong Kong.

Natural Sound
German Chancellor Helmut Kohl arrived in Hong Kong on Friday - day 10 of his trip through Australasia and the Far East.
Kohl met the future leader of Hong Kong under Chinese sovereignty, Tung Chee Hwa, and the present Governor, Chris Patten.
With just six weeks to go until Hong Kong's sovereignty is returned to China, Chancellor Kohl met the territory's new leader in waiting, Tung Chee Hwa, on Friday.
Tung is said to have found the talks "very useful and interesting".
He stressed that German business was a very important part of Hong Kong and would continue to play a role there, even after the handover on 1 July.
Tung was also said to have "communicated the feeling" that the Joint Declaration signed by London and Beijing on the future of the Special Administrative Region - as Hong Kong will become known after 1 July - would be adhered to.
China has pledged that Hong Kong will retain its way of life for 50 years after the historic hand over under the "one country, two-systems" policy.
German government officials said Kohl was very satisfied with the meeting.
Also on Friday, Chancellor Kohl went to Government House to meet Governor Chris Patten.
Patten will leave Hong Kong at midnight on June 30th after the British flag is lowered over the Territory for the last time, marking the end of more than 150 years of British rule.

English/Natural Sound
Hong Kong got a powerful confidence boost Thursday with the announcement that virtually all its top civil servants will stay in office after China takes over on July 1.
Although unconnected with the death Wednesday of Chinese leader, Deng Xiaoping, the announcement was a timely one.
This announcement is likely to have a calming effect on those in Hong Kong who fear instability now that Deng, architect of Hong Kong's return to China, is dead.
Hong Kong's future leader, Tung Chee-hwa, flew to Beijing Wednesday to seek China's endorsement of his nominations for the top posts, returning to the colony just 24 hours later.
At a press conference the future governor paid tribute to the Chinese leaders commitment and vision.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I am greatly saddened by the loss yesterday of Deng Xiaoping, a great leader of Chinese people. Today's China, a country who is moving increasingly towards the centre stage of the world, a country whose people's livelihood is improving everyday. Much of it is because of his vision, because of his life long work and commitment."
SUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Future Governor of Hong Kong
Tung, a Shanghai born shipping magnate, was selected in December to succeed Patten when British rule of Hong Kong draws to a close in July.

Hong Kong's future leader said before he left that he has already decided which senior officials he wants in his new administration and will submit his list to China for approval.
He said he was confident his choices would be approved because China has "shown its confidence in me and Hong Kong's people."

China's hand-picked advisers on the handover of Hong Kong began two days of talks in Beijing on Thursday.
The Hong Kong Preparatory Committee - which includes the colony's Chief Executive designate Tung Chee-hwa - met China's Foreign Minister Qian Qichen in the Great Hall of the People.
Hong Kong's Preparatory Committee opened its last session of talks on Thursday before the colony is returned to China on July 1.
The members gathered at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing to meet Chinese Foreign Minister Qian Qichen - who chairs the committee.
The group is due to discuss a number of handover matters, particularly issues of sovereignty.
All 150 members are Hong Kong and Chinese individuals, hand picked by Beijing to help ensure a smooth transition.
They include Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong's Chief Executive designate, who is a committee vice chairman.
Tung will lead the territory after July 1, when it will be designated a Special Administrative Region under Chinese rule.
The Preparatory Committee has recently come under pressure in Hong Kong to set a flexible framework on future elections, thereby allowing the territory's new government to arrange the details.

HONG KONG: FUTURE LEADER TUNG REVEALS CHANGES IN NEW LEGAL CODE

English/Nat
Hong Kong's future leader, Tung Chee-hwa, has revealed minor changes in the new legal code that will apply to the colony after the handover to China on July 1.
But this latest attempt to defuse criticism over a lack of civil rights, received a chilly response from the U-K government.
It claimed the present code did not require any changes.
The Chief Executive designate Tung Chee-hwa, appears to have been stung by the outcry over plans to tighten civil liberties in the territory after July the first.
After three weeks of public consultation and discussion with Beijing, Tung announced on Thursday that the rules on public protests and political funding would be diluted.
One significant change Beijing wants introduced is a law whereby police require up to seven days' advance notice of any planned public demonstrations.
Originally no late applications for demonstrations were to have been considered, but the authorities appear to have relented.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
\"And so there will be no stipulations that all notifications will have to be submitted to the police at least two days before the actual procession instead the police is now given the discretion to consider late applications\".
SUPER CAPTION: Michael Suen, Secretary for Policy Co-ordination, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government
Under the revised proposals reasons of \"national security\" will encompass anything the authorities define as \"the safeguarding of the territorial integrity and the independence of the People's Republic of China.\"
This appears to follow the line adopted by Tung who's already stated he intends to ban any moves advocating independence for Tibet and Taiwan.
These measures will also make it easier to punish those who back the independence cause.
But Thursday's softer line does not appear to have convinced critics.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
\"Overall speaking our party are disappointed with the process of the consultation as well as the result of the consultation and we are afraid that Mr. Tung will give a very bad message to the people of Hong Kong and outside Hong K that after the date of the changeover people's degree of civil liberties will be more restricted than under the Hong Kong government\".
SUPER CAPTION: Yeung Sum, Democratic Party Vice-chairman
Following the proposed changes to Hong Kong's laws two of the colony's pro-democracy parties say they are already feeling the effects.
The Democratic Party and the smaller Frontier Party had applied to use this square in central Hong Kong to mark the July 1 handover ceremony.
Their application has been turned down.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
\"Although no other parties have applied to use the venue the urban council has turned us down and whether it is for political reasons they just want to make sure that the pro-democracy camp is being obliterated, they will not even allow us to have an inch to carry out our activities, I think that's very objectionable\".
SUPER CAPTION: Emily Lau,The Frontier Party
Pro-democracy groups say they fear the proposed changes to Hong Kong's laws will lead to strained relations -- and possibly violent confrontations -- with the authorities after July

ATV World News (2014/09/03)
News Summary 1. Hong Kong's first chief executive, Tung Chee-hwa (董建華), has made an unprecedented and emotional appeal for all sides to work together to achieve universal suffrage. He insisted that the limited political reform Beijing has decided to allow is still real democracy and Hong Kong cannot afford to miss the chance. Tung said he understood the pan-democrats' anger and disappointment, but he urged them not to reject Beijing's offer. 2. While Hong Kong's first chief executive is appealing for calm and consensus, the city's last governor is urging his own government to do its part. Chris Patten is insisting Britain has a moral responsibility to speak out against an election system for Hong Kong that is "more or less what happens in Iran". 3. The main man behind the Occupy Central ... -

News Summary 1. Thousands of school and university students are holding a mass rally at Tamar to beseige Government Headquarters tonight after the Chief Executive refused to meet them. Secondary school students skipped classes to join their striking university counterparts today, insisting they are old enough to fight for their democratic rights. 2. There was plenty of drama last night as thousands of students and their supporters marched on Government House, demanding the Chief Executive come out to face them. Police did not use force on hundreds who remained there overnight, but Leung Chun-ying stayed out of sight throughout. 3. Occupy Central leader Benny Tai has suggested having a "shadow chief executive" to monitor the government after the 2017 election. He says a referendum to pick... -
ATV World News (2014/10/31)
News Summary 1. Former finance minister Antony Leung (梁錦松) has denied being groomed to run for Hong Kong's next leadership election through former Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa's new think tank. Leung was among 60 prominent business leaders and others who met Tung today to prepare for the launch of the think tank next month. Tung is said to be setting up a peace-making platform as he gets more hands-on in trying to end the Occupy crisis. 2. More pan-democrat lawmakers have come out in favour of taking the civil disobedience movement forward by resigning to trigger a de facto referendum on political reform. But they cannot agree on how many legislators should quit and how such a move would affect the ongoing pro-democracy protests. 3. Bejing loyalists have shot down plans by student leade... -
ATV World News (2014/11/08)
News Summary 1. Former Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa has denied a request by the Federation of Students to arrange a meeting with Premier Li Keqiang to discuss Hong Kong's constitutional reform.

Activist group Scholarism leader Joshua Wong says he was shocked to learn that a member of his group was denied entry into Shenzhen last night. Executive Councillor Fanny Law meanwhile called on students to stop being so stubborn in demanding the impossible. 3.

Democratic development in Hong Kong
Democratic development in Hong Kong has been a major topic since the transfer of sovereignty to China in 1997. The one country, two systems principle allows the Hong Kong government to administer all areas of government except foreign relations and defence separately from the national Chinese government. Many Hong Kong citizens became concerned about democratic development when the first Chief executive of Hong Kong Tung Chee-hwa appeared to have mishandled this issue. Other democracy-related issues involving human rights and universal suffrage became the new focal point for the pro-democracy camp. Ever since the 1950s, the Chinese government has continually threatened the British in attempting bring any democratic developments in Hong Kong. Attempts to bring Hong Kong citizens on to the n... -

In Conversation：Allen Lee
"If you look at the three Chief Executives we've had, Tung is a nice man but he doesn't know government. Then Donald Tsang, he knows the government but he has no votes. He's a civil servant. So now CY is there. Even after 15 years in Exco, he has absolutely no knowledge about how government should run, so he runs it his way and he is bumping heads with the legislature always." Allen Lee Allen Lee Peng-fei has had a very varied political background, and has often appeared to shift position. Now he's widely seen, through his appearances as a host of RTHK's Chinese-language "Legco Review", as a strong proponent of democracy and universal suffrage, but it was not always the case. He has adopted so many political stances that one writer described him as a 'weather vane'. In Conversation's e... -

3. Occupy Central leader Benny Tai has suggested having a "shadow chief executive" to monitor the government after the 2017 election. He says a referendum to pick a suitable candidate should be able to attract at least 800,000 people.
4. Former Chief Secretary Rafael Hui has admitted at his corruption trial that he lied to the public about his salary just minutes after being sworn in nine years ago. He also revealed that his former boss Donald Tsang was not the "hot pick" for Chief Executive after Tung Chee-hwa's resignation.
5. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe says it is important to continue his "quiet effort" to arrange a face-to-face meeting with President Xi Jinping in Beijing in November. He acknowledged the need to improve ties with neighbouring countries which have been put off by his hawkish policies.

News Summary
1. Thousands of school and university students are holding a mass rally at Tamar to beseige Government Headquarters tonight after the Chief Executive refused to meet them. Secondary school students skipped classes to join their striking university counterparts today, insisting they are old enough to fight for their democratic rights.
2. There was plenty of drama last night as thousands of students and their supporters marched on Government House, demanding the Chief Executive come out to face them. Police did not use force on hundreds who remained there overnight, but Leung Chun-ying stayed out of sight throughout.
3. Occupy Central leader Benny Tai has suggested having a "shadow chief executive" to monitor the government after the 2017 election. He says a referendum to pick a suitable candidate should be able to attract at least 800,000 people.
4. Former Chief Secretary Rafael Hui has admitted at his corruption trial that he lied to the public about his salary just minutes after being sworn in nine years ago. He also revealed that his former boss Donald Tsang was not the "hot pick" for Chief Executive after Tung Chee-hwa's resignation.
5. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe says it is important to continue his "quiet effort" to arrange a face-to-face meeting with President Xi Jinping in Beijing in November. He acknowledged the need to improve ties with neighbouring countries which have been put off by his hawkish policies.

News Summary
1. Former finance minister Antony Leung (梁錦松) has denied being groomed to run for Hong Kong's next leadership election through former Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa's new think tank. Leung was among 60 prominent business leaders and others who met Tung today to prepare for the launch of the think tank next month. Tung is said to be setting up a peace-making platform as he gets more hands-on in trying to end the Occupy crisis.
2. More pan-democrat lawmakers have come out in favour of taking the civil disobedience movement forward by resigning to trigger a de facto referendum on political reform. But they cannot agree on how many legislators should quit and how such a move would affect the ongoing pro-democracy protests.
3. Bejing loyalists have shot down plans by student leaders to go to Beijing and talk directly to China's leaders about their demands for free elections. They are warning the students that gate-crashing the APEC summit to petition the central government will backfire.
4. Lawmakers have voted down two competing motions to invoke LegCo's special powers to investigate the Occupy protests and the way police have handled them.
5. Thousands of people have signed a petition online to condemn Executive Councillor Laura Cha (查史美倫) for suggesting Occupy protesters should wait for democracy just like black slaves in the US. She joined a long list of public figures who got into trouble for their anti-Occupy comments.
6. There is confusion over who is in charge in the West African state of Burkina Faso where at least three people have been killed as mobs set fire to parliament to demand the resignation of the long-term president. The army says a retired general will assume the presidency, but the incumbent insists he will stay on for at least another year as head of a transition government.
7. An American nurse who was quarantined after returning from treating Ebola sufferers in West Africa has broken home isolation rules by going for a bike ride. Meanwhile, international efforts to stop the spread of the virus continue.
8. Russia has agreed to resume gas supplies to Ukraine, sparing the country from enduring a bitter winter without heating. / Two boys are suing Malaysia's government and national carrier for the loss of their father on board the plane that went missing in March.

News Summary
1. Former Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa has denied a request by the Federation of Students to arrange a meeting with Premier Li Keqiang to discuss Hong Kong's constitutional reform. The elder statesman said the student leaders merely want to repeat their demands for greater democracy, which will not help solve the current political stalemate.
2. Activist group Scholarism leader Joshua Wong says he was shocked to learn that a member of his group was denied entry into Shenzhen last night. Executive Councillor Fanny Law meanwhile called on students to stop being so stubborn in demanding the impossible.
3. The government has rejected an appeal by the Civil Human Rights Front to gather outside the Liaison Office less than 24 hours before it marches there tomorrow. Organisers say the police are treating them unfairly but insist they will try to keep tomorrow's rally as peaceful as possible.
4. The government appears to be going all out to stamp out mosquito breeding grounds after the city's third case of dengue fever. Officials say the latest victim caught the disease in Tsing Yi, far from Western where the two previous cases contracted it.
5. The city' top transport official has blamed the improved economy on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge's cost overrun. Transport Secretary Anthony Cheung insisted the government will be more careful when estimating the budget for the controversial third runway.
6. The 26th meeting of APEC ministers has finished in Beijing with a pledge to stamp out corruption.
7. Thousands of people took part in the annual Pride Parade today, to show their support for the LGBT community. One of the marchers was equal opportunities chief York Chow, who rejected suggestions that the government is not doing enough to protect the rights o the sexual minorities.
8. Residents in the Spanish region of Catalonia are set to vote for independence from Spain in a symbolic referendum. / US President Barack Obama is sending 1,500 more troops back to Iraq.
9. While it is barely cold enough to put on long sleeves, people in other parts of the world are busy ringing in the festive season. A giant Christmas tree has been unveiled in New York while in Europe, they are spreading cheer with lights and window displays.

Democratic development in Hong Kong has been a major topic since the transfer of sovereignty to China in 1997. The one country, two systems principle allows the Hong Kong government to administer all areas of government except foreign relations and defence separately from the national Chinese government. Many Hong Kong citizens became concerned about democratic development when the first Chief executive of Hong Kong Tung Chee-hwa appeared to have mishandled this issue. Other democracy-related issues involving human rights and universal suffrage became the new focal point for the pro-democracy camp. Ever since the 1950s, the Chinese government has continually threatened the British in attempting bring any democratic developments in Hong Kong. Attempts to bring Hong Kong citizens on to the negotiating table by the British during the Sino-Anglo discussions were rejected by Beijing in the late 1980s. The last governor Chris Patten faced a great deal of opposition in changing the former colony's political system.

"If you look at the three Chief Executives we've had, Tung is a nice man but he doesn't know government. Then Donald Tsang, he knows the government but he has no votes. He's a civil servant. So now CY is there. Even after 15 years in Exco, he has absolutely no knowledge about how government should run, so he runs it his way and he is bumping heads with the legislature always."
Allen Lee
Allen Lee Peng-fei has had a very varied political background, and has often appeared to shift position. Now he's widely seen, through his appearances as a host of RTHK's Chinese-language "Legco Review", as a strong proponent of democracy and universal suffrage, but it was not always the case. He has adopted so many political stances that one writer described him as a 'weather vane'.
In Conversation's executive producer Gary Pollard says that Lee sees things differently. "For Allen, it's more of an awareness that political circumstances change, that as German statesman Otto von Bismarck said: "Politics is the art of the possible". Times change. New political realisations and circumstances come to light."
Lee was born in 1940 in Shandong. His father left for America when he was young, but at the age of 14, Allen was already a leader of the Communist Youth League, organising marches denouncing US involvement in the Korean War. In May 1954, his mother arranged for him to be smuggled to Hong Kong. Lee was a founding member and first leader of the Liberal Party. He was also a senior member of the Legislative Council, before seats were opened to elections. In late 1997, He was elected a deputy to the National People's Congress. On 19 February 2004, he announced he was resigning from his seat in the National People's Congress and his job as a radio host, saying that he had been pressured not to speak freely.
Today, Lee firmly believes that Hong Kong needs party politics, and that Beijing needs to learn to tolerate differences of opinion.
He also has few kind words for the current Chief Executive: “After 15 years in the Executive Council, and 13 years as convenor, CY Leung has no idea of how government was run before. All he knows is he was in Exco, he spoke on very few policies in Exco, so right now, he appoints people who also don't know what the hell is going on. And that's the major problem in the political system."

The delegation will also hold a press conference on the Umbrella Movement and Hong Kong’s on-going struggle for democracy and human rights.
Details are as follows:
Date: 23 October 2014 (Thursday)
Time:2:00pm – 3:00pm (Geneva Summer Time; GMT+2)
Venue:Library, Press Room 2, Building C, Palais des Nations, Headquarters of United Nations in Europe, Geneva, Switzerland
Speakers: - Mr. Law Yuk Kai, Director of Hong Kong Human Rights Monitor
- Ms. Emily Lau, Member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong and Chairperson of the Democratic Party of Hong Kong
- Other representatives of civil society organisations in Hong Kong
You are cordially invited to the press conference. For any inquiries, please contact Mr. Law at law@hkhrm.org.hk.

The Night Embraces Me
The night's an offspring of black dreams
Everything's dark, the shades on the walls
Invite me
The memory of my dreams is a distant light
The wind groans the sign of my soul
The night embraces me
You've taken everything away
You've only left an empty snap
And this words that are dead since ages
The could universe
Has sticked to my face
The wishes have died somewhere
I'm only lying in the silence
The hours elapse on
Every memories are taken away by the dimness
My soul's dancing in a red-hot fire
