Democrats dismiss China's HK bluster
REUTERS , HONG KONG
Saturday, Jun 19, 2004,Page 5

Hong Kong's biggest democracy party has dismissed Beijing's warning that it will create havoc for the city's China-backed government if it wins a majority in September's legislative election.

Democratic Party Chairman Yeung Sum (??) said the party would not compromise on its principles, but was willing to work with Beijing and its government in the former British colony.

"Our basic principles are not changing. Our stance is not changing. But we can tone down our language," he said in an interview on Thursday.

Beijing is clearly worried that pro-democracy forces could derail important government legislation if they win nearly all of the 30 seats up for grabs in the 60-seat legislature, or even use their newfound clout to push for independence.
