 The Chief Executive of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Tung Chee Hwa says his government has a duty to implement Article 23 of the Basic Law, and the schedule of the entire legislative process will depend on how the consultation goes. He made the remarks at a press conference on Thursday.
Tung says his government is seriously reviewing and looking at Hong Kong residents' aspirations and concerns with a view to learning from the experience. Regarding Article 23, he says although the consultative and legislative process has been under way for nearly a year, many of the citizens still do not understand the contents.
He says the government has decided it's necessary to put forward the bill to the whole community for consultation again. This consultation will be even more extensive than the previous one. Dialogue with the public and organizations concerned will also be re－opened to listen to their views.
