Jiang Zemin

"Jiang: Just now I... The most important point..."

"Jiang: Im sorry to say this, but today Im speaking to you as an elder. I am not a journalist, but Ive seen too much. I need to give you people some real-life experience."

"Cheung: It’s Chris Patten who said that."

"Jiang: Im angry! Let me say this, what youre doing is inappropriate."

"Reporters: But can you say why you support Tung Chee-hwa?"

"Cheung: The European Union recently published a report saying that Beijing will use certain channels to influence and interfere with the rule of law in Hong Kong. Whats your response to that?"

"Qian: She asked, in supporting Mr. Tung so early, whether the decision has already been internally to appoint Mr. Tung by imperial decree."

"Cheung: President Jiang, do you think it’ll be good for Mr. Tung to serve another consecutive term?"

"Jiang: Eh? To serve another term, you must follow the law of Hong Kong, correct? You should follow Hong Kongs... Of course, our power to make the decision is also very important. Hong Kong SAR, Special Administrative Region, belongs to the Central Government of the Peoples Republic of China. When the time comes, we will will tell you!"

"Jiang: Im worried for you all, truly. You people today, I would have expected... Everywhere you go... You guys are good at one thing. Running all over the world, you run faster than those Western journalists. Nonetheless, you ask questions here and there, and theyre all too simple, sometimes naïve. Understand yet?"

"Security: Ok, ok, ok. Everyone please leave."

"Jiang: Sorry, I dont have any more time to talk to you about this."
