Meanwhile, pro-democracy councilor Lau, who was attacked by the territory's media for collaborating with Taiwan's pro-independence forces by attending the conference, denied the allegations and said she is not a puppet of any faction in Taiwan.
"I speak for myself. If I can't even attend the meeting out my own will, what would people in Taiwan think about the `one country, two systems' principle?' That we don't even have the freedom to attend a meeting? It's ridiculous!" Lau said.Also See Stories:
