> Chinese commentator Yu Yen rebukes Hong Kong Governor Patten for continuing to refer to Hong Kong as an international asset and seeking international support for his constitutional package. Yu Yen says that Patten's continued insistence on this designation denies China's sovereignty over Hong Kong. The comments come after the governor said he would not attend a meeting of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in Beijing next week. Other cities, Tokyo, New York, and Paris, are international cities but that does not change their sovereignty. Britain, he believes, is unwilling to return Hong Kong to China.
