HK party an insult to rule of law and commonsense

A separatist organization calling itself the Hong Kong National Party was "officially" founded the other day at a press conference in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, even though its pursuit of legal status failed when the Hong Kong Companies Registry, where all political parties in the SAR have to be registered, rejected its application according to the law.

By holding a press conference to announce its existence after failing to register with the government, the separatist group has already openly challenged the rule of law in Hong Kong.

Chan Ho-tin, the convener of the HKNP and an undergraduate student at the Polytechnic University of Hong Kong, said the party currently has 30 to 50 members, most of them young students like him. If true, people have a very good reason to wonder what those young HKNP members are learning in school these days. Do they know what they advocate is illegal, unconstitutional and idiotic?
