‘Liaison office has supervisory power on HK issues’

HONG KONG: The Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government (LOCPG) in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) is entrusted with the authority and responsibility to exercise supervisory power on major issues in Hong Kong, the HKSAR government said.

In response to media inquiries on recent remarks made by the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office of the State Council and the LOCPG in the HKSAR on the operation of the House Committee of the HKSAR Legislative Council (LegCo), a spokesman for the HKSAR government said the HKSAR was an inalienable part of China and a local administrative region that enjoyed a high degree of autonomy and comes directly under the Central People’s Government (CPG).
