Hong Kong's media and democrats yesterday slammed China's decision to amend the territory's constitution to change the length of term of its next leader, saying the move undermined the city's rule of law.
Beijing ruled on Wednesday that the former British colony's next leader should serve for two years instead of the normal five laid down in Hong Kong's mini-constitution, the Basic Law.
It had been called on to make a ruling after former chief executive Tung Chee-hwa (???) resigned last month with two years remaining of his second term.
