Beijing will not allow full democracy in Hong Kong in 2007 despite growing demands in the territory for universal suffrage and a constitution that leaves open such a possibility, Hong Kong newspapers said yesterday.

Talks between Hong Kong and Beijing on election reforms are just a show, and Beijing has already ruled out direct elections for the next chief executive in 2007, the South China Morning Post said, quoting a local source close to China's government.

The source, who was not identified, said Beijing would take a tougher position on Hong Kong if pro-democracy forces become the dominant power in the territory's top law-making body in elections in September and work against China-backed leaders. The source did not spell out what Beijing would do, but said it could develop its own plan to deal with the situation.

1. They want the same for the world ...

China is a hive mind society. Our corporate executives are in league with China. Once ALL of our manufacturing is resident in China, we will be helpless as a nation to determine our own fate.

If we continue with WTO, it will be US who will have to ask for suffrage from China and the Globalists.
