| description | Hong Kong citizens in 1995 chose the most democratic legislature in their 150-year history, yet Chinese leaders insist the election was "unfair and unreasonable" and did "not truly reflect the will of the Hong Kong people." They have vowed to abolish that legislature immediately upon assumption of sovereignty in 1997. Britain has conceded all major points to China and has agreed to postpone the creation of the Court of Final Appeal until 1997. There is cause to believe that China has no understanding of the rule of law, which is Hong Kong's greatest legacy and which is essential to its existence and to its dynamic economy. Its attack on the Bill of Rights is a major threat. There are enlightened voices within China's leadership. They must prevail if Hong Kong is to survive. |
