SEND TO FRIEND

Eleven overseas Chinese organizations in Hong Kong held a meeting Friday to condemn Hong Kong legislator Martin Lee's tour to the United States, saying it is a traitor's behavior which is aimed at messing up Hong Kong.

Martin Lee and two other members of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Legislative Council attended the US Senate hearing Thursday afternoon (American time).

In a statement issued after the meeting, the 11 overseas Chinese organizations in Hong Kong sternly condemned Lee's traitor's behavior and strongly oppose the foreign intervention of China's internal affairs under the guise of caring about Hong Kong's "democracy issues".

Lu Liong Bin, executive president of Hong Kong Overseas ChineseGeneral Association, said at the meeting that while Hong Kong residents read again Deng Xiaoping's remarks on "one country, two systems" and discussed Hong Kong's constitutional development, Martin Lee made "a pilgrimage to the US temple".

He said the act does not benefit Hong Kong's constitutional development, on the contrary it harms the interests of Hong Kong and the whole Chinese nation. He called on the public to recognizeLee's true face of a traitor in pretense of "seeking democracy."

Lu said Hong Kong's democracy and constitutional development are the internal affair of China, Hong Kong residents enjoy high degree of democracy under the Basic Law.

The Chinese people, including Hong Kong people, are wise enoughto handle Hong Kong's affairs according to law. "We won't tolerateLee's begging to the foreign intervention of China's internal affairs."

Lee Chun Tak, vice president of Hong Kong Overseas China Association, said it is not the first time for Martin Lee to go abroad to attacking Hong Kong. In the past decade, Martin Lee attacked time and again "one country and two systems", and opposedthe Basic Law.

Other participants to the meeting also urged Martin Lee to stopany traitor's acts in pretense of "democracy".
