It is surprising that 17 years after the handover of sovereignty from the United Kingdom to China, Hong Kong still does not have a directly elected legislature. In December 1992, Margaret Thatcher suggested in a speech in the House of Lords that, if all went well, Hong Kong could have universal suffrage by 2007.
香港主权回归中国已经17年，但香港仍没有直选的立法机构，这令人震惊。1992年12月，撒切尔夫人在英国上议院讲话中指出，如果一切顺利，香港将在2007年实现普选。
