Robert Siegel speaks with Martin Lee about China's takeover of Hong Kong in July of next year. Mr. Lee is an elected legislative counselor and chair of the Democratic Party in Hong Kong. Mr. Lee says China is backing away from promises it made in an agreement with Britain in 1984, to allow Hong Kong's autonomy and to permit democratic rule. He is in the United States to appeal for support for a democratic, independent Hong Kong.
