HK elites to meet with Xi Jinping

Business and professional heavyweights from Hong Kong, including Asia's wealthiest men like Li Kar-shing and Lee Shau-kee, will meet with President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Monday, three weeks after the top legislature adopted a blueprint for the city's election reform.

The delegation - comprising over 60 influential figures from the special administrative region - was led by Tung Chee-hwa, a former chief executive of Hong Kong and vice-chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

Lee, chairman of Henderson Land, told reporters at a Beijing hotel that he was looking forward to more favorable policy initiatives for Hong Kong.
