		The spoilt, bed-wetting brats of the civil service unions will shriek that Woodrow Wyatt are drug-addled, devil-worshipping, child-molesting goat-fellators, when all the world knows they are mind-numbingly tedious accountants and actuaries, devoid of personalities, who have been performing dull but worthy tasks for the Hong Kong Government for years.

	95119: Hong Kong's Return to China: Implications for U.S. Interests
		Hong Kong's current situation has its roots in the terms under which the British originally acquired the territory -- through a combination of wartime concessions and a 99-year lease, the latter negotiated and signed with China in 1898.
		Some in Hong Kong argue that in the past, Beijing has had "exaggerated perceptions of sovereignty requirements" (as one Hong Kong observer put it), and Chinese leaders therefore are likely to interpret "acts of state" so broadly as to seriously limit the kinds of cases that can be appealed to the Court.
		Hong Kong residents shall have freedom of speech, of the press and of publication; freedom of association, of assembly, of procession and of demonstration; and the right and freedom to form and join trade unions, and to strike.

	CRS Report on Hong Kong's Return to China
		In P.L. the FY1996 Foreign Operations Appropriations Act (H.R.), the 104th Congress amended the U.S. Hong Kong Policy Act (the HKPA) by requiring a report to be submitted also in 1996 (the original HKPA did not call for a 1996 report), and by requiring additional detailed information to be included in the 1996 report only.
		Many in Hong Kong were suspicious that in dismantling Legco, Beijing would take the opportunity to permanently disqualify a number of democratic-minded Legco members (such as Martin Lee) from serving on future legislative bodies, and to redefine or reduce the legislature's functions.
		Their loss to Hong Kong would have a strong negative impact on China and presumably could be used to dissuade the PRC authorities from infringing too much on Hong Kong autonomy.

		"The ICAC is the Hong Kong institution which Chinese civil servants most want to visit," says Peter Fong, a Hong Kong-born, American-educated social scientist who was hired away from his job as director of social services for the state of Massachusetts to preside over Hong Kong's Civil Service Training and Development Institute.
