Beijing reminds Hong Kong that it can’t change political system on its own
(AP)

5 December 2003

HONG KONG - Amid growing calls for democracy in Hong Kong, Beijing has issued residents here with a reminder that they can’t change the political system on their own.

The government-run Xinhua News Agency quoted mainland legal experts as saying any changes in the way Hong Kong’s leader and legislators are chosen must be approved by China’s National People’s Congress, as spelled out in Hong Kong’s mini-constitution.

“Political review not purely an HK affair,” read a banner headline in Friday’s Hong Kong edition of the state-run China Daily newspaper.
