Deteriorating relations between Hong Kong and China over Hong Kong's political future has cast a pall over the colony's financial markets. Governor LegCo has proposed elections in 1995 and 1995 to allow for greater democracy for the people and is supported by the people. Patten has repeatedly indicated a go-it-alone possibility marking a change in British policy toward Hong Kong and China , which had placed priority on reaching agreement with Britain . Beijing claims that financing proposals from the Hong Kong government would put a heavy financial burden on the post-1997 community. Mr Patten denied that the UK had given China the undertakings Lu claimed. China could sacrifice the economic well-being of its people in response to a perceived threat to its authority.
