Hong Kong legislator-elect "Long Hair" Leung Kwok-hung (
Leung, known for his flowing locks and trademark Che Guevara T-shirts, is one of 60 legislators elected last Sunday whom Tung has invited for talks this week.
"I will tell him to step down," the outspoken Marxist and radical democracy activist said.
The veteran protester said he was not planning a demonstration, although he could not say what his friends might do.
"I won't protest when I meet him," Leung said. "But my friends haven't decided yet."
Accusing Tung's administration of favoring the rich and powerful at the expense of the poor and underprivileged, Leung has been calling for Tung's resignation for years.
He has served short stints in prison for his protest antics and says he takes his inspiration from Che Guevara and will continue to wear his trademark T-shirts with the face of the guerilla revolutionary along with frayed jeans.
"I'll wear a T-shirt and jeans to the meeting," Leung said.
Long a thorn in Beijing's side, the 48-year-old Leung has condemned almost every major move by the government and by Beijing and is a fixture at just about any protest.
He and other members of his April Fifth Action group often carry mock coffins to symbolize the death of democracy and burn the Chinese national flag.
Leung may again embarrass Tung and Chinese officials at National Day celebrations on Oct. 1.
The government has invited him to a flag-raising ceremony and other celebrations at which Tung and Chinese officials will be present.
"I am considering whether to attend. If I do, I will protest there and then," he said.
Three pro-democracy politicians, meanwhile, said that they urged a senior mainland Chinese official yesterday to pay heed to local wishes for full democracy in Hong Kong, but they reported no immediate progress or narrowing of differences.
The deputy director of China's liaison office in Hong Kong, Zou Zhekai (鄒哲開), met Friday with independent lawmaker Audrey Eu (余若薇), who was re-elected last Sunday, and two other democracy advocates who also won seats.
"I told him the fact that more than 60 percent of voters cast their votes for candidates supporting direct elections showed that they are very keen to have more democracy," Eu said.
Eu declined to discuss Zou's response, as did the liaison office.
Pro-democracy politicians took 25 seats in the 60-member Legislative Council in Sunday's election -- a gain of three seats but still far short of a majority.
Eu and colleagues Alan Leong (梁家傑) and Ronny Tong (湯家驊) are all prominent lawyers from the pro-democracy camp. But they are seen as more moderate than members of the opposition Democratic Party and the Frontier political alliance, perhaps making it easier for China to meet with them.
Eu said she urged the central government to improve communication with Hong Kong's opposition figures, saying it would help ease the political tensions that have been running high in the territory for more than a year.
LOW RISK: Most nations do not extradite people accused of political crimes, and the UN says extradition can only happen if the act is a crime in both countries, an official said China yesterday issued wanted notices for two Taiwanese influencers, accusing them of committing “separatist acts” by criticizing Beijing, amid broadening concerns over China’s state-directed transnational repression. The Quanzhou Public Security Bureau in a notice posted online said police are offering a reward of up to 25,000 yuan (US$3,523) for information that could contribute to the investigation or apprehension of pro-Taiwanese independence YouTuber Wen Tzu-yu (溫子渝),who is known as Pa Chiung (八炯) online, and rapper Chen Po-yuan (陳柏源). Wen and Chen are suspected of spreading content that supported secession from China, slandered Chinese policies that benefit Taiwanese and discrimination against Chinese spouses of
ALIGNED THINKING: Taiwan and Japan have a mutual interest in trade, culture and engineering, and can work together for stability, Cho Jung-tai said Taiwan and Japan are two like-minded countries willing to work together to form a “safety barrier” in the Indo-Pacific region, Premier Cho Jung-tai (卓榮泰) yesterday said at the opening ceremony of the 35th Taiwan-Japan Modern Engineering and Technology Symposium in Taipei. Taiwan and Japan are close geographically and closer emotionally, he added. Citing the overflowing of a barrier lake in the Mataian River (馬太鞍溪) in September, Cho said the submersible water level sensors given by Japan during the disaster helped Taiwan monitor the lake’s water levels more accurately. Japan also provided a lot of vaccines early in the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic,
PROMOTION: Travelers who want a free stopover must book their flights with designated travel agents, such as Lion Travel, Holiday Tours, Cola Tour and Life Tours Air Canada yesterday said it is offering Taiwanese travelers who are headed to North America free stopovers if they transit though airports in Japan and South Korea. The promotion was launched in response to a potential rise in demand for flights to North America in June and July next year, when the US, Canada and Mexico are scheduled to jointly host the FIFA World Cup, Air Canada said. Air Canada offers services to 13 of the 16 host cities of the tournament’s soccer games, including Toronto and Vancouver; Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey in Mexico; Atlanta, Georgia; Boston; Dallas; Houston;
The US approved the possible sale to Taiwan of fighter jet spare and repair parts for US$330 million, the Pentagon said late yesterday, marking the first such potential transaction since US President Donald Trump took office in January. "The proposed sale will improve the recipient's capability to meet current and future threats by maintaining the operational readiness of the recipient's fleet of F-16, C-130," and other aircraft, the Pentagon said in a statement. Trump previously said that Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) has told him he would not invade Taiwan while the Republican leader is in office. The announcement of the possible arms
