- Mr President (Andrew Wong), as the saying goes, "foul grass grows out of a foul ditch". The Chinese Government had hand-picked the members of the Preparatory Committee, who then selected the 400 members of the Selection Committee. This same group of people will then nominate candidates for the Chief Executive. Under such an arrangement, how can the candidates' election platforms possibly exceed the limits approved by the Chinese Government?
