Beijing official heckled amid Hong Kong election anger

When negotiations began between Great Britain and China on returning the British held territory to Chinese control one of the conditions set was that Hong Kong  would retain its legal system which included freedom of the press and the right to vote for their elected representatives the lone exception  being the colonies administrator who would be chosen by the Politburo Bureau in Beijing until 2017 at which time that person would be elected by the eligible voters of Hong Kong.  

On Saturday the Chinese Communist government reneged on that provision  and announced that Central Committee of the Chinese Communist party would continue its policy of picking Hong Kong's administrator without impute from the people of the territory.  

The disruption took place as Li Fei, deputy secretary general of China's National People's Congress Standing Committee, prepared to address Hong Kong officials.
Agencies reported that as Mr Li approached the lectern, several lawmakers and demonstrators stood up with placards and a banner, chanting: "The central government broke its promise, shameless."
They were eventually escorted out by security guards. Local television reportedly showed police using pepper spray on other protesters who had amassed outside the hall.
Mr Li then continued with his speech, saying any leader who wished "Hong Kong will become an independent political entity or will change the country's socialist system will not have a political future".

China's powerful National People's Congress Standing Committee voted Sunday to change the way Hong Kong picks its chief executive, ruling that only candidates approved by a nominating committee will be allowed to run.

A top Chinese official made clear the candidates all must "love the country and love Hong Kong."

The city's current leader insists it's a step in the right direction.

"The majority of Hong Kong citizens, namely, the 5 million qualified voters of the selection of chief executive in 2017, will be able to cast their votes to select the chief executive," said Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying.

But that's not how Hong Kong's pro-democracy Occupy Central movement sees it. The group has vocally pushed for elections in which any candidate can run for chief executive. For weeks, protesters have taken to the streets.
