And I think the relationship between China and the United Kingdom should turn over a new glorious stage.  It is a relationship that is important to both the United Kingdom and to China and certainly very important to Hong Kong also.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Tung Chee-hwa, Chief Executive, Hong Kong\u003cbr/\u003eOne of the main disputes with Britain has been over China's disbanding of Hong Kong's elected legislature - on grounds that the voting rules were made by London without Beijing's consent.\u003cbr/\u003eA temporary, unelected legislature was installed on July 1 that excludes Hong Kong's most popular party, the Democrats. \u003cbr/\u003eElections are now scheduled for May 24 - but only half the legislature will be elected and a new law sharply reduces the number of people who can vote.\u003cbr/\u003eBlair's office said the prime minister discussed the election with Tung but gave no details.\u003cbr/\u003eDuring Tung's visit, East Asia's economic and financial crisis appeared to hit Hong Kong for the first time. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Hang Seng Index - the market's key indicator of blue chip stocks - fell 4.6 per cent on Monday and another 4.4 per cent on Tuesday.\u003cbr/\u003eEven so, Tung called the territory's economy very sound and said once again that its currency will remain linked to the U-S dollar.\u003cbr/\u003eLondon, Britain - 21 October 1997\u003cbr/\u003e1.
