Official: Document refutes anti-China forces' unfounded allegations on issue

Hong Kong must firmly proceed on the democratic path that suits its actual situation, as set out in the white paper "Hong Kong: Democratic Progress Under the Framework of One Country, Two Systems", said Liu Guangyuan, commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

He made the remark at a seminar on Wednesday while explaining the significance of the white paper to over 120 representatives of foreign consuls-general and chambers of commerce, business groups, youth leaders and legal experts.
