	The Frontier (Hong Kong) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Frontier is a more radical pro-democracy political group in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China.
		The main platform of The Frontier calls for universal suffrage by 2007/8, more human rights and rule of law, and demands the right to draft Hong Kong's own constitution.
		It called for immediate universal suffrage since the establishment of the HKSAR, by means of redrafting the Basic Law, the mini-constitution of Hong Kong (the Basic Law guaranteed universal suffrage but imposed constraints on the timetable).

	Hong Kong Political Parties Face a Big Question: Their Future
		ONG KONG -- As China signals its new vision for Hong Kong -- a society of shriveled civil liberties and an anemic political culture -- the opposition politicians who have most relentlessly opposed Beijing's plans for the territory now face their greatest challenge.
		While half of Hong Kong's people remain worried about their personal freedom after July 1, according to a recent poll conducted even before the new rules were announced, sentiment toward China has shifted as well, with a mix of enthusiasm and resignation to Chinese sovereignty beginning to reshape attitudes.
		But with Britain's agreement in 1984 to return Hong Kong to China, followed by waves of repression in China culminating in the mass killing of protesters in Beijing in 1989, many people here who were determined to have some say in their future began organizing pressure groups and political parties.

	Boston.com / News / World / Asia / Hong Kong in struggle over its political future
		BEIJING -- Rumors that Hong Kong's chief executive, Tung Chee-hwa, is about to resign under pressure from Beijing are bringing into sharp relief the tensions among Hong Kong's powerful tycoons, the territory's democracy movement, and China.
		Beijing, despite its promise to steer clear of Hong Kong's local politics until 2047 under the one-country, two-systems formula, wants to increase its control over the territory, for Hong Kong is Asia's richest city and drives the growth in China's richest province, Guangdong.
		Media reports here say that if Tung goes, Hong Kong's most senior civil servant, the popular Donald Tsang, is likely to be made acting chief executive and fill out the remaining two years of Tung's term.

		On July 1, 1997, Hong Kong reverted to Chinese sovereignty, beginning its fundamentally important experiment with "one country, two systems."

		On July 1, 2003, more than 500,000 Hong Kong residents took to the streets to demonstrate their dissatisfaction with proposed anti-subversion legislation and to voice their support for universal suffrage in the 2007 CE and 2008 LegCo elections.
		Since 1997, NDI has conducted a series of assessment missions to Hong Kong to consider the development of the HKSAR's "post-reversion" election framework, the status of autonomy, rule of law and civil liberties under Chinese sovereignty, and the prospects for democratization beyond the 10-year transition period set forth in the Basic Law.
