Hong Kong prepares for a party

Article Abstract:

The handover of Hong Kong to Chinese sovereignty promises to be a big event for the Chinese and the Chinese are preparing no less than a festival to celebrate the event. China is taking advantage of the event to show the world its leader's power and its triumph at regaining its right over Hong Kong. British leaders are not to happy about the concessions to Chinese demands but the Chinese do not seem to take notice or care.

Patten pending

Article Abstract:

Patten, as the last British governor of Hong Kong, must prepare the way for the colony's reunification with China in 1997. Emphasis should be placed on maintaining the democratic status quo, not on increasing democratic reforms which will only strain relations with China.
