Senior Counsel, As an Individual

Martin C.M. Lee

I'd like to make a correction, although I hate to do this to my colleague.

The statement was made by the number two person in the Chinese Embassy in London, who said that the joint declaration was no longer effective, meaning that China had already gotten Hong Kong back. But that was not an official statement. I wanted that to be put on the record.

The Chair Conservative Dean Allison

Sure. Thank you very much.

On behalf of my colleagues, thank you, Ms. Fung and Mr. Lee, for the testimony today. You have given the committee some things to think about.

The meeting is adjourned.
