Another showdown on constitutional change is coming this week in Hong Kong, as the territory’s Beijing-backed leaders said today that they would make a modest change to their complex plan for limited democracy and then demand that the legislature vote later this week.
The change offered this week related to the number of neighborhood councilors appointed by the chief executive. Senior officials said Monday that the administration would be willing to alter the initial reform package to reduce the number of appointed councilors, which would increase the influence of other councilors who are elected.
