Dear Reader,
NEW ARTICLE
Broadly
representative of wealth
C Y Leung tells 3 media from democratic countries that the Nominating
Committee should be "broadly representative" of wealthy people, not the general
public, who would otherwise wreck the economy, and explains how he has to pander
to vested interests in the committee to get elected. Yet the lack of a popular
electoral mandate has resulted in populist handouts anyway, as well as wasteful
infrastructure spending to favour vested interests. Could a democratically
nominated and elected CE really be any worse? We also look ahead to what the
students should realistically be asking for tonight. (21-Oct-2014)

In last night's TV
interview, he claimed that he had never stated an intention to run for
re-election in 2017. We prove that his claim is false. Has Beijing told him not
to run again?
Ignore the
argument, blame the foreigners
Is the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong really just a devious
foreign plot to undermine the future prosperity of China? (14-Oct-2014)
