How much does the pro-democracy movement influence government?
In a HARDtalk interview on 29 September, 2003 Tim Sebastian talks to Martin Lee, founder of the Hong Kong Democratic Party.
The postponement of the anti-subversion bill in Hong Kong is being hailed a victory by pro-democracy campaigners.
Martin Lee, the founder of the Democratic Party, argued the anti-subversion bill would have rolled back some basic freedoms, including the freedom of the press, of association, and of religion.
He says the protests against the bill prove the pro-democracy movement is still alive and well in Hong Kong.
But how much influence does it really have?
The bill has been postponed, but how long before it re-emerges?
And does he think the pro-democracy movement can really influence Beijing?
