http://www.scmp.com/business/article/1623224/will-cy-leung-give-keynote-speech-london-dinner-next-week Financial Secretary John Tsang Chun-wah last year gave what by all accounts was one of the best keynote speeches for some years, wittily combining Hong Kong's growth with the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. He went on to liken Hong Kong to a Tardis - "small on the inside, but once inside its size and potential were limited only by imagination". But he added in words that were more prophetic than he could ever have imagined: "Even after half a century of non-stop action, you never quite know what will happen next, other than it's bound to be exciting." However, one can't help feeling that the atmosphere around this long-standing cosy relationship may have cooled in recent days with CY parroting othe mainland's accusation that "external forces" are supporting the umbrella movement.
