Carrie Lam, Chief Secretary, Hong Kong SAR 香港人對中國共產黨的十訴求（金融人篇） Ten Requests to the Communist Party of China from the People of Hong Kong (Financial Sector) We are a group of professionals who work in the Hong Kong financial sector. We are all Hong Kong permanent residents who truly love the country and Hong Kong. We wholeheartedly believe that the central government of China is one that serves and seeks the greatest well-being for the people of Hong Kong. We hope the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party will heed the following 10 requests which reflect the voice of Hong Kong people, specifically that of the financial sector. 1. Fulfill its promises made in the Sino-British Joint Declaration by fully supporting “one country, two systems”. Allow Hong Kong people to run Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy, and refrain from interfering in the administrative affairs of Hong Kong. 2. Establish a system of genuine universal suffrage that conforms to international standards and recognize that this is the political freedom that all the people in Hong Kong seek. To implement the principle of “one country, two systems”, the Central Government must accord the Hong Kong Government with high degree of autonomy and recognize its legitimacy. 3. Defend Hong Kongs freedom of speech, press, assembly, religion, creation, and all kinds of freedom enshrined in the Basic Law and relevant international conventions. 4. Allow Hong Kong to continue to operate under a fair, just, and open business environment. Prevent monopoly by persons or organizations of special privilege in various industries. 5. Empower the Hong Kong Government to set policies independently, including but not limited to policies relating to immigration, naturalization and travel entry to advance the citys long-term interests. Maintain and enhance Hong Kong’s position in the international finance community so that it retains its competitive edge in attracting high quality professionals and talents from all over the world and from various industries and sectors. 6. Safeguard the spirit of the rule of law and judicial independence. 7. Protect and respect the freedom of the press and empower the public and the media with the right to monitor and critically challenge Hong Kong government and its policies. 8. Understand Hong Kongs unique historical background and preserve Hong Kongs uniqueness as a melting pot of Eastern and Western cultures. 9. Safeguard Hong Kongs reputation for maintaining a strong anti-corruption culture in government and business. Eliminate all perception and possibility of growth of a bribery culture, and take considerable effort to establish anti-corruption policies and campaigns in China which can only have a positive impact to Hong Kong’s status in the global economy. 10. Create and facilitate universal suffrage for Hong Kong which can be leveraged as a blueprint for democratic elections in China to advance China’s progress toward democracy.
