Beijing completely broke their promise on HK, says Martin Lee-by Leslie Fong's reckoning Martin is prime example of someone who has "succumbed to cerebral shampooing by the West"

Readers will recall this bit of advise from Strait Times Singapore former editor, Leslie Fong:
Anyone without scales over his eyes and who has not succumbed to cerebral shampooing by the West will have realised by now that large parts of its media are biased, if not outright antagonistic, in their reporting of China

Compare that to the words of Martin Lee SC:

“At the time Beijing was worried that people would all leave.  To win their hearts, it (promised to allow) Hong Kong people to rule Hong Kong and to have a high degree of autonomy.....They (are) now saying very clearly that the (Communist) Party would rule Hong Kong, not Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong. So we have to do whatever they tell us. This has completely broken their promise.” 

This writer prefers the Martin Lee.
