Exclusive Interview with Yip Kwok-wah: More tough measures will come if Article 23 is not enacted soon
(22-Apr) In the early days of the handover, Paul Yip Kwok-wah, who served as a special adviser to the Chief Executive accepted an exclusive interview. He pointed out that the central government seldom supervised the region government in the past, and he used to follow the principles of "Hong Kong affairs done using Hong Kong style" and "mind your own business" to deal with tasks entrusted by the Central Government.
Paul Yip Kwok-wah, political adviser to the first Chief Executive, Tung Chee-hwa, said that the Basic Law was intentionally left blank in the past, and meant to evolve with the society as it changes. Whether Article 22 of the Basic Law is binding on the Hong Kong and Macao Office or the Liaison Office of the Communist Party of China wasn't clearly stated. The "central supervision" written back then is nothing like what is here today. "The supervision I thought, the supervision I strived for at the time, was that (the central government) supervised the provinces and cities. It was not that they (the two offices) weren't allowed to interfere in Hong Kong. At least I didn’t think so, they needed to manage Guangdong, Fujian and the Ministry of Commerce not to mess up with the place (Hong Kong).”
