Organizer: Community Development Initiative, Hong Kong Transition Project Date: 29 Apr, 2014 (Tue) As Chief Executive C.Y. Leung prepares to give his report on the consultation for the elections of 2016 and 2017 that concludes 3 May 2014, how Hong Kong people will react to this consultation on constitutional reforms—with confrontation and demonstrations, or discussions, compromise, even concessions—overshadows nearly all else in determining the shape of Hong Kong’s future as part of China. This report contains findings about public views on this crucial area of Hong Kong’s next step forward in the transition to full direct universal suffrage election of its Chief Executive and all members of the Legislative Council.
