SPEAKER LUNCHEON “One Country, Two Systems – Dead or Alive?” Speaker: Alan K K Leong, SC 23 November 2016, Wednesday 12:30 – 14:00 Hong Kong Club, 1 Jackson Road HK$450 for HKDF Members and Sponsors HK$600 for Guests Following the significant build-up of resources in Hong Kong, the Central Authorities announced in June 2014 that ‘comprehensive control’ over Hong Kong was to replace their hands-off policy practiced in the first years following the hand-over. Over the last two years, a minority of independence activists have been provoked into behavior which appears to give reasons for ever intrusive responses by the Central Authorities. How to move forward?
