Tang sees no good in legislators' resignation
."And as reflected by opinion polls, the majority of Hong Kong people do not support the resignations, and I believe there are many far more constructive ways to bring about constitutional reform in Hong Kong."
A by-election in all five constituencies would cost at least HK$150 million (US$19.3 million).
"That money can benefit the livelihood of a great many people at the grassroots," he said.
Referring to a demonstration that turned violent outside the central government's liaison office in Hong Kong on New Year's Day, Tang regretted that a small number of people chose to express their views in a disorderly manner.
He said Hong Kong is a civil society where the freedoms of assembly and expression are protected by law. Yet while enjoying such freedoms, people should also fulfill their civic obligations.

The dashing young Captain in his unique yellow shirt enters the teleporter room along with a calm blue-skinned alien and a green-skinned alien whose uniform is augmented by an amulet around his neck and a sheathed sword at his hip. The grumpy doctor and two of his assistants are already there. The room is splattered with more blood than could conceivably have been contained within the victims. CAPTAIN: "Agreed! Professor! Zoxor! Adjust the! Internal scanners! To search for! Any! Non-human! Life forms! On board! Security! Chief Komak! Organize! Patrols! To search for! The! Malevolent! Entity! But first how! Did it get!

ZOXOR: "Captain, by plotting the locations of the known attacks along with the last known locations of the missing crewmen, I have been able to produce a map of the attacker's movements throughout the ship. It appears to be wandering aimlessly in a random pattern, which gives us the precise information we need to locate its position."
