Hong Kong Lawmakers Reject Tsang's Electoral Plan (Update3)Dec. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Hong Kong's lawmakers rejected Chief Executive Donald Tsang's proposed changes to the city's electoral process late yesterday because the plan didn't include a timetable for achieving full democracy in the Chinese city. ...Activists CriticizedRafael Hui, Hong Kong's chief secretary and chairman of the city's task force on constitutional development, lashed out at Catholic Bishop Joseph Zen, who urged people to attend a Dec. 4 march against the government proposals, and at pro-democracy politician Martin Lee, accusing them of bringing Hong Kong's democratic development to a halt.``Of course some people will blame us, but we'll have to tell them that we can't support something that's not democratic,'' said Emily Lau, leader of the Frontier grouping of pro-democracy legislators. ``We have to sit down and talk with the administration and see what we can do.'' Pro-democracy legislators will hold a press conference tomorrow, she said.
