发帖数: 256 | 2 All these issues, in a most complex way, are being played out in the present
arguments over universal suffrage. Hong Kong is divided. About half the
population support China’s proposals on universal suffrage, either because
they think they are a step forward or because they take the pragmatic view
that they will happen anyway. The other half is opposed. A relatively small
minority of these have never really accepted Chinese sovereignty. Anson Chan
, the former head of the civil service under Chris Patten, and Jimmy Lai, a
prominent businessman, fall into this category, and so do some of the
Democrats. Then there is a much larger group, among them many students, who
oppose Beijing’s plans for more idealistic reasons. |
