BEIJING: A spokesperson for the Chinese central government on Tuesday (April 21) said the filibuster by Kwok Wing-hang and other opposition members of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Legislative Council (LegCo) was ironclad evidence of their deliberate oath violation and may constitute misconduct in public office.
When asked about Kwok's argument after he was condemned that he was just taking advantage of the rules of procedures, the spokesperson of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council said when HKSAR LegCo members take office, they all pledged to uphold the Basic Law and swear allegiance to China's HKSAR through an oath-taking procedure.
