--- Hongkong als Einfallstor für mehr Demokratie in ganz China? Ein Kommentar in Business Week glaubt dies zumindest: Now, democrats have their eyes on September's legislative elections, in which they could win a majority. Then, they could push Tung to meet their demand for a direct election of the chief executive in 2007. Hong Kong's constitution has vague statements about having a more democratic system by then, but it leaves out the crucial specifics. "There will be more demonstrations," says pro-democracy lawmaker Lee Cheuk-yan. "Even if the Chinese government opposes [democracy], it makes no difference to us. We will fight for it."
