新華網老屈香港富豪

【太陽報專訊】佔中行動持續近月，內地中央級官方通訊社昨發表英文署名文章，批評本港富豪無表明立場反佔中。該篇題為「Hong Kong tycoons reluctant to take side amid Occupy turmoil」（香港富豪不願在佔中亂局中表態）的文章指，國家主席習近平上月接見本港工商界訪京團時，要求本港富豪團結一致支持中央及特首梁振英，但與會富豪中，僅政協副主席董建華公開反對佔中，長和系主席李嘉誠只呼籲示威學生回家，無明確表態，並點名指包括恒基主席李兆基、嘉里主席郭鶴年及九倉主席吳光正等其他富豪至今一直保持沉默。但此篇英文文章晚上已消失，取而代之的是新華網港澳頻道一篇有關本港商界知名人士斥佔中行動的中文文章，內容正引述了被英文文章點名富豪的發言。: I# n7 u9 ^8 V2 W$ ^6 e/ I

由新華社發表的英文署名文章指，當日富豪與習近平會面時，習近平曾要求他們團結一致，與中央、港府和梁振英聯手合作，致力創建香港更好的未來。不過，文章指除董建華公開反佔中外，當日坐在董身旁的李嘉誠至今只呼籲示威學生回家，稱別讓今天的激情變成他日的遺憾，並無表明他是否支持示威者的訴求，其他富豪如李兆基、郭鶴年和吳光正等至今未開腔力挺政府及支持警方處理示威的工作。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。% A( _$ q+ f3 p9 i) c7 v7 [* [

但本報翻查記錄，訪京團成員之一的新世界發展主席鄭家純曾批評佔領活動組織者犧牲港人利益爭民主，其本身一點也不民主，呼籲學生看清事實，盡快撤離。

提及田北俊促梁辭職行為

文章續稱，梁振英日前接受外國傳媒訪問時透露，現時仍有空間令提名委員會更民主，如把提名委員會的公司票改為個人票，直言若採用梁振英的建議，將可令更多草根打工仔在二○一七年提名特首時，有更大的發言權。

文章更提及，自由黨黨魁田北俊日前公開提出梁振英應該考慮辭職，以解決目前的困局，文章形容田是首名建制派人士在佔領行動期間提出梁應辭職。但特首梁振英昨日出席一項公開活動時表明，他不會辭職。5.39.217.76% P* Q& A: Q! Z: `. ]5 l4 E, J. N$ M
不過，這篇英文署名文章晚上卻消失了，取而代之是新華網港澳頻道一篇中文文章，標題為「香港商界：佔中影響香港經濟破壞社會秩序」，指本港商界多位知名人士曾發表斥責佔中的言論，當中交代了李嘉誠、李兆基、吳光正和鄭家純等發言，又指郭鶴年也有參加反佔中的簽名行動。

另一邊廂，中國駐英國大使劉曉明日前接受英國《議會》雜誌訪問時明確闡述對佔中的看法，他希望英國政府理解和尊重中方立場，不以任何形式介入香港內部事務和中國內政。而英國前首相戴卓爾夫人私人秘書、現任上議院議員鮑威爾（Charles Powell）接受內地官媒專訪時則表示，一國兩制在香港實施效果極好，若示威者繼續鬧事，可能導致香港選舉制度停滯甚至倒退。

HK tycoons reluctant to take side amid Occupy turmoil公仔箱論壇3 P: F! X  a6 N. ^

2014-10-25
By Xinhua writer Yan Hao+ T8 J9 S. z& l

HONG KONG, Oct. 25(Xinhua) -- Former Hong Kong chief executive Tung Chee-hwa on Friday urged once again protesters to end their Occupy Central movement since thousands of students started sit-in protests on Sept. 28 over the region's next top leader's election in 2017.5.39.217.767 b$ p3 L1 Q7 U" S1 Y; H& w5 n( U

Sworn in as the first chief executive in 1997 right after the former British colony was handed over to China, the 77-year-old Tung now serves as vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, China'stop political advisory body, who is the only state-level leader in the special administrative region.

One week before the Occupy movement, Tung led a high-profile billionaires delegation representing Hong Kong's industrial and business communities to Beijing and met with President Xi Jinping.9 b2 o- P" l, a3 g7 d/ j: _, x) i

At that meeting,President Xi asked the Hong Kong billionaires to "be united and make concerted efforts to jointly create an even brighter future for Hong Kong led by the central government as well as the region's chief executive and government."公仔箱論壇( l: `' b# m+ K  H6 {1 Y! J& ?
Tung is among the few tycoons in Hong Kong who have voiced opposition to the almost month-long movement that has severely disrupted traffic in the city and affected the daily lives of Hong Kongers.

"My fellow students, I have heard your appeals for more democracy and agree with the ultimate goal. Who does not want a more democratic society?" Tung said in the former chief executive' s official mansion.公仔箱論壇$ ^) w6 S% p1 U, V7 r  z" @! U

"In civilized societies, conflicts are resolved through dialogue, not in streets. Students should not use the occupation as bargaining chips for negotiation with the government."TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。! w( `3 \; ~8 f9 n/ |

In fact, Tung himself was also a businessman. Born in Shanghai, Tung took over his family business after his father, shipping magnate Tung Chao Yung, died in 1981 and managed Orient Overseas, one of the world's leading shipping and logistics service providers.

Sitting next to Tung at the meeting with President Xi was Li Ka- shing who made a statement on Oct. 15, calling on the Occupy protesters to go home and not to "let today's passion become tomorrow's regrets." The Asia's wealthiest man did not make it clear whether or not he agrees with the appeals of the protesters.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb" e( C9 W7 E1 Q6 G

Li built his family business empire from plastics manufacturing and accumulated wealth through real estate, supermarket chains and mobile phone network.' m6 h0 {: g: i/ \+ f6 |/ w

Other Hong Kong tycoons, such as Lee Shau-kee, nicknamed "Hong Kong's Warrenn Buffett," Kuok Hock Nien known for his sugar refineries in Asia, and Woo Kwong-ching whose businesses range from Hong Kong's cable TV to the Star Ferry,have all remained mute.5.39.217.76, g, N: _  v  T

Except for Tung who made himself clear at Friday's press conference, none of the tycoons at President Xi's meeting has expressed support to the police's handling of the demonstrations and Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying's government.

However, many small business owners and taxi drivers flared up at the protesters and their attempts to remove the barricades in Mong Kok, a commercial district in Kowloon, led to clashes with the demonstrators.

The city also has one of the largest income disparities in the world with its Gini index, the most commonly used measure of inequality, rose to a record-high 0.537 in 2011.
Many Occupy protesters said one of the reasons for their " hopeless" lives which they believe need more democracy, is that they are dismayed by various livelihood woes, for instance, an unaffordable housing price.

About 1.3 million Hong Kongers, or 19.6 percent of the population, live below a poverty line of11,500 Hong Kong dollars (1,483.5 U.S. dollars) for a three-member household per month, which was set by the Hong Kong government last year.

One of the key demands of the Occupy protesters is to introduce "civil nomination"in choosing candidates for the next chief executive before all Hong Kong's eligible voters cast their ballots in 2017.

According to China's top legislature's decision on Aug. 31, the committee tasked with nominating two to three candidates for the next leader will be a 1,200-memberpanel similar to the one which elected incumbent Chief Executive Leung, but protesters said it lacks legitimacy for the planned universal suffrage.( E/ e( Q: l8 `) Y% _!

The protesters also vented their anger at the Hong Kong police' s use of tear gas to disperse protesters on Sept. 28 and Leung's report to the top legislature, which they think was misleading Beijing on Hong Kongers' real demands on the universal suffrage.

Leung said during an interview with foreign media on Tuesday that there was still room to make the nomination committee more democratic, such as replacing corporate votes with individual ballots.. A4 R( P( j9 F3 D% ?3 z* q5 O

If so, more grassroots employees, rather than their bosses, would have a say in nominating chief executive candidates who will run for the 2017 vote.
Days later, James Tien, leader of the pro-business Liberal Party, said that Chief Executive Leung should consider stepping down not for his policies but the growing difficulties for governance.

Tien is the first major figure from the pro-establishment camp to publicly suggest Leung's resignation during the Occupy movement. Being a successful boss in clothing and real estate, he is the first son of Hong Kong late textile industry's magnate Tien Yuan- hao.
