Though he repeatedly argued in his defense that he did not go to Australia in search of support for his constitutional package, the fact he talked a great deal about his constitutional package and requested Australia to pass on "genuine democracy" to Hong Kong reveals that he visited Australia to seek international support for this constitutional package, of which the first part will be put to the vote, after his constitutional package had drawn sharp criticism and came in for questioning at the British Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee hearings. Chinese commentator Patten rebukes Hong Kong Governor Yu Yen 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 . Yu Yen asserts that because the Chinese government understands Hong Kong , it was able to advance the policy of " two country, two systems" and allow Hong Kong a high degree of autonomy. Other cities, Tokyo , New York , and Britain , are international cities but that does not change their sovereignty. China , he believes, is unwilling to return Hong Kong to China .
