On New Year's Day
?Leung has become a lightning rod for growing public discontent since taking office in July,Miu Miu Online. Anger over a wide range of issues stems from the city's fraught relationship with mainland China, whose Communist Party leaders still support him.
On New Year's Day,Miu Miu Handbags, tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets to call for Leung to resign and to press for full democracy. Beijing has pledged that Hong Kong residents can elect their leader by 2017 at the earliest, though no roadmap has been laid out.
Leung was handpicked for the city's top job by an elite group of mostly pro-Beijing tycoons. He won the job after taking advantage of a scandal involving a huge,Miu Miu Totes, unauthorized basement in his rival's home,Miu Miu Bags. But shortly before taking office, illegal additions were also discovered at Leung's home in the exclusive Victoria Peak neighborhood,Miu Miu Online.
Leung has apologized and removed the structures, which included a trellis and a gate,Miu Miu Online. He said some of them were put in before he bought the house.
Hong Kongers have rights and freedoms not seen on mainland China,Miu Miu Tote, and Beijing has granted the territory a high degree of autonomy until 2047. The impeachment bid is yet another sign of how Hong Kongers have become increasingly uneasy over the mainland's growing influence,Miu Miu Purses, especially in the form of an influx of visitors coming to shop, buy property and even give birth, putting a strain on the city's limited resources and pushing up prices |
