...Hong Kong government is working relentlessly to improve our environment. Our work in Hong Kong has clear objectives and implementation goals backed by a well-established institutional setup. This setup now extends to Guangdong, where our Chief Executive, Donald Tsang, and the Guangdong Governor, Huang Huahua, oversee a Joint Liaison Group to agree on action plans and monitor progress on the environment for the whole Pearl River Delta region. The target on air quality is to achieve emissions reductions for both sides by 2010. The reduction program has started and 16 state-of-the-art monitoring stations...

This would be bad for the city. Tsang does seem to have Hong Kong's best interests at heart. After the Dec. 4 demonstration, he remarked...
...After they reject Tsang's proposals, the democrats should try to find allies in the local business community, Hong Kong's most influential group. Many businessmen are open to the idea of direct elections as early as 2012, when a Chief Executive, who serves a five-year term, will again have to be chosen. But they are concerned, with some justification, that certain policies advocated by the pro-democracy camp?like minimum wages and maximum working hours?might hurt Hong Kong's competitiveness.
