Hong Kong Survey: Sixty Percent Against Proposed Article 23 of the Basic Law

(Clearwisdom.net) A recently survey shows that the percentage of people who are against Article 23 of the Basic Law has increased from 57% to 60%. As all Chinese people around the world and the citizens of countries that protect democracy and human rights continue to watch, Hong Kong's Article 23 may have new changes.

RFA (Radio Free Asia) reported on January 20, 2003: During a discussion in San Francisco, Yu Haocheng, a Chinese law specialist, said he thought that the legislation proposed for Article 23 of the Basic Law is the unfortunate result of the Chinese Communist Party's extending its dictatorship and completely destroying the "One Country, Two Systems" agreement.

A representative of the San Francisco Medical Staff Union stated that the responsibility of the union is to help minority groups receive labor's benefits, and that their everyday job is to "instigate," "promote," and call on the workers to stand up and fight for their rights. Isn't this "subversion? " Seventy percent of the public protests in the United States are related to the union movement, and the situation in Hong Kong is very similar. Should the Article 23 legislation be passed, he would unite with the Hong Kong Workers' Union in order to resist this law. He also supports the citizens of Hong Kong in proceeding with their "citizens' resistance."
