Hong Kong Chief Executive Tung Chee Hwa says he will not resign in the current situation and his government has a duty to implement Article 23 of the Basic Law.
The Chief Executive says his government is seriously reviewing and looking at the Hong Kong residents aspirations and concerns with a view to learning from the experience.
On Article 23 of the Basic Law, Tung said although the consultative and legislative process has been under way for nearly a year, many of the citizens still does not understand the contents.
The government has thus decided it is necessary to put forward the bill to the whole community for consultation again.
