| Abstract | On 23 May 1996 the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPCSC) of the People's Republic of China adopted the Decision Concerning the Interpretation of the Implementation of Chinese Nationality Law in Hong Kong. It sought thereby to resolve some important questions as to the status of the residents or former residents of Hong Kong who may wish to return to live in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as permanent residents. The Decision gives effect to the recommendations of the Preparatory Committee (which in this regard rejected the recommendations of the Preliminary Working Committee). The Decision is important not only for the substantive provisions it makes but the style and method of doing so - which demonstrate the significance of the power of interpretation of the Basic Law vested in the NPCSC. |
