  Martin Lee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Honourable Martin Lee QC SC JP (李柱銘) (born June 8, 1938 in Hong Kong with family root in Huizhou, Guangdong) is the founding chairman (1994-2002) of the Democratic Party (DP), a pro-democracy political party in Hong Kong.
Lee was born in Hong Kong and son of a former Kuomintang general and first Chinese person to practice as a pharmacist in France.
Lee was forced to leave the Basic Law Drafting Committee immediately after the infamous Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, when he realised that the long-term trends in China were not in favour of moving towards democracy and human rights.

Lee Ng Mei-han received a letter from the Electoral Affairs Commission advising her she would be removed from the provisional register of voters, a spokesman for Mr Lee's office said.

But Lee treats the charge with a degree of humor, pointing out that he is hardly a "counterrevolutionary." After all, he has publicly supported the reunification of Hong Kong with China, the PRC's one-China policy, and even its one-child policy.
In his opening remarks, Lee observed that journalists must continue to write the truth as they see it if freedom is to survive in Hong Kong, that in the impending darkness, their writings would constitute a brilliant light.
In this matter, Tung Chee-hwa is clearly modeling himself on Lee Kuan-yew, who made similar social commitments, especially in the area of education, in the first years of his rule, In doing so, Lee earned the gratitude of the people and muted any criticism they had over their lack of political freedom.

Martin Lee testified before the Senate counterpart of this committee on March 4 that Hong Kong enjoys “a free press, an independent judiciary and a lively civil society.”
The evidence cited in China for this fallacious belief relates to our enthusiasm for Martin Lee, who although no longer the leader of the Democrat Party continues to be a frequent spokesman with foreigners because his English fluency is so much greater than his colleagues’.
Lee’s visit here, and experts who were expressing concerns about the negative thrust of Chinese policy toward Hong Kong reacted with anguish and despair to what was seen as a major U.S. intervention in favor of an anti-China figure.

In 1995, when Democratic Party chairman Martin Lee Chu-ming first sounded the warning on "acts of state" in the Basic Law that he repeated in his interview in the Post yesterday, even some legal experts thought he was being unduly alarmist.
Therefore, as Mr Lee points out in a hypothetical example, it is not impossible that if Beijing decided to arrest Falun Gong practitioners in Hong Kong, PLA officers garrisoned in the SAR could be ordered to make the arrests.
And if local lawyers attempted to have the application for arrest declared invalid, the Department of Justice could claim it was an "act of state" and beyond its powers.

Nor did anyone echo the opinion floating around Washington that, despite all his talk about livelihood issues, Tung's natural constituencies are China and Big Business.
Hong Kong opposition leader Martin Lee Chu-ming likened Tung's warm Southeast Asia welcome to a "reception for a new member to the community of newly independent countries." In short, a love-in.
America, of course, is quite different -- and Tung's handlers ensured the boss was well-armed for his Sept. 9 speech at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington.
