*******************************************************************************
Season's greetings from China Labour Bulletin!
Wish us a happy New Year!
It's no typo - we mean it, calling for your attention and solidarity in our defense of civil and workers' rights in Hong Kong in the year to come.
The one-month 'consultation' on the enactment of anti-subversion laws in Hong Kong will end on December 24, 2002. The proposed drafts, which only lay down the principles, have drawn widespread opposition leading up to the 30,000-strong mass protest on December 15.
Knowing too well what 'national security', 'subversion' and 'state secrets' imply on independent workers' organising in China, CLB has presented our strong opposition to the enactment, which is included in this special release.
We appeal to you to send your statement to the Hong Kong government in solidarity with the workers in Hong Kong and China.
Here's the address: rlam@legco.gov.hk
There is no deadline for our struggle!
‘Say No’ to Anti-subversion Laws in Hong Kong!

CLB Against Anti-Subversion Laws in Hong Kong
In China, people have been struggling hard for democracy and human rights. Instead of joining their struggle, the Hong Kong government is trying to push through the enactment of Article 23 without comprehensive and thorough public consultation, and stripping Hong Kong citizens of legally protected civil rights. This kind of political regression cannot be justified on any grounds.
CLB is set to keep on with our work for the development of the independent trade union movement in China, and stand by our convictions and defend our rights. Here's our statement to the Hong Kong government.
