| Abstract | While Hong Kong's political professionals continue to debate the merits and perils of joining the upcoming Selection Committee, charged with choosing the Special Administrative Region's first chief executive and provisional legislature, local people from all walks of life have shown less ambivalence. By the close of the nomination period (15 August - 14 September 1996), the Preparatory Committee was deluged with 5,883 applications to fill the 400 seats on offer. |
