Mr Lee went missing last Wednesday when he went to a warehouse in Hong Kong to collect a consignment of books.
Albert Ho has vowed with fellow Hong Kong lawmakers to begin pressing the Chinese government about the missing men and the possible indications that the government instigated the disappearances.
Stay on topic – This helps keep the thread focused on the discussion at hand.
Missing person reports were made about three others: bookstore manager Lam Wing-kei; general manager of the publishing house Lui Bo; and business manager, Cheung Jiping.
“If mainland [Chinese] law enforcement personnel enforce the law in Hong Kong, this is unacceptable because it breaches the Basic Law”, Leung said, referring to the city’s mini-constitution, in rare comments defending Hong Kong’s autonomy.
“It’s just Beijing rounding up its dissidents in Hong Kong, and that’s a huge attack on this “one country, two system” promise, and we’re terrified”. In the past, we were safe because we lived in Hong Kong instead of the mainland China.
It is believed the publishing company behind the bookstore was about to launch a book about the former love life of President Xi Jinping. If the above speculation is true, it indicates the erosion of “one country, two system” in the Basic Law of Hong Kong.
CY Leung’s remarks come amid increasing issues for Lee Bo, a publisher who sold publications critical of the top leaders in China, in a case which has triggered additional demonstrations about mainland intervention in the matters of the semi-sovereign territory. He told her that he was in the Chinese border city of Shenzhen, “assisting” mainland police in an investigation into four of his colleagues, who have also gone missing.
“The speed with which the SAR government, or chief executive, have chosen to react to this incident that makes Hong Kong people anxious (and) leaves much to be desired”. “This book has not yet gone to print, but probably it has something to do with this book”.
Hong Kong pro-democracy lawmakers say they’ll press the government for answers after a fifth employee of a publisher specializing in books critical of China’s ruling communists went missing.
“To my knowledge… the book concerns the story about the girlfriend…(from) some years ago”, he said.
“I asked him if it was related to the case before”.
Mr Lee is the fifth person associated with the Causeway Bay Bookstore to go missing.
