| Abstract | Retired Appeal Court judge Simon Li Fook-sean - a 10-year behind-the-scenes veteran of key transition events and positions - announced on 23 October 1996 that he has officially joined the race for the chief executive post. Other candidates include shipping tycoon Tung Chee-hwa, Chief Justice Sir Ti Liang Yang and businessman Peter K.C. Woo. It can be said that there are now true heavyweights in the ring, giving the lie to those who proclaim that the selection process would amount to little more than Beijing bestowing its blessing on the pre-ordained candidate of its choice. |
