Foreign meddling
Robert Clark reckons that the trouble with the Article 23 consultation is not too much foreign interference but too little local interference (June 16).
But in this one-country context of national security, the opposite of 'foreign' is not the two-systems 'local'. It is 'Chinese national'.
One who is a local, a permanent resident but not a Chinese national, whatever his ethnic extraction, has no business in the matter of national security legislation.
Just ask the locals - whose opposition Mr Clark alleges has been ignored - which country's passport they hold.
If it is American, for instance, they have no more business in the matter than Perry Link and John Kamm.
The trouble is, there are too many 'heads I win, tails you lose' characters in this town.
