Well, it only took our beloved Chief Executive three days to make 3 concessions on the proposed Article 23 bill. Actually there are only 2 concessions—while the part about proscribing local groups that are linked to banned mainland groups is deleted from the draft bill, the Secretary of Security still reserves the right to decide which groups are participating in separatist activities.

But the government still wants to pass the bill on July 9.

This shows how out of touch the government is with the people of Hong Kong. They went to the streets on July 1 not only because of what is in the draft, but also because of how the bill is rammed through LegCo. The government addressed a small part of what is wrong with the draft (merely four days before the final debate in LegCo), but they have not addressed what is wrong with the process—arguably more important of the two.

Don’t think you can cheat us all, Mr. Tung.
