Angry pro-democracy camp says 'one country, two systems' has been seriously undermined but vows to keep on fighting
Hong Kong's autonomy had been undermined by Beijing's decision to rule out universal suffrage for the city in 2007, the pro-democracy camp said yesterday.
The core principle of Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong had been set aside and rule was now dictated by Beijing, they said.
Doubts about the legitimacy of the decision were also raised by the legal community.
Yeung Sum, chairman of the Democratic Party, said he and his colleagues were very angry over the decision.
'It has seriously undermined the principle of 'one country, two systems'. It has totally shown we now have Beijing people ruling Hong Kong. We can never accept this,' he said.
