The Pulse：Article 22 controversy discussion with: Anson Chan, James Tien & Chip Tsao

Does Hong Kong still enjoy a “high degree of autonomy”? That question has come into the spotlight again as the result of recent actions by both the Central Government Liaison Office and the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office. On Friday 17th April, the Liaison Office in Hong Kong declared that as it and the State Council’s Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office in Beijing are authorized to represent the central government in handling Hong Kong affairs, they have the power to supervise matters that affect the overall interests of the SAR. This apparently means that neither of these bodies are subject to the restrictions on activities in Hong Kong that apply to other Central Government departments. With me to talk about this issue, and the Hong Kong government’s response to it, are former Chief Secretary Anson Chan, Honorary Chair of the Liberal Party James Tien, and commentator Chip Tsao. I should add that we also invited several pro-government figures, including Maria Tam, Rita Fan, Ronny Tong and Albert Chen to take part. They decided not to join us.
