- Group_of_89 abstract "The Group of 89 was one of the political groups existed in the Hong Kong Basic Law Consultative Committee (BLCC) and Hong Kong Basic Law Drafting Committee (BLDC) during the drafting period of the Hong Kong Basic Law in the late 1980s. It initially came into existence in April 1986 in the title of Business and Professional Group of the Basic Law Consultative Committee. It later added another two members and became known as the group of 89. It countered the Group of 19 which made up of more liberal-minded community representatives, social workers and professional in the blcc but this group and proposed a conservative constitution of electing the Chief Executive and Legislative Council after 1997, a legislature with no more than 25% elected seats and chief executive elected by a 600-member electoral college, in contrary to the more progressive proposal of the pro-democratic members of the Consultative Committee.It was formed by the conservative business and professional elites led by Vincent Lo bitterly opposed a democratic government before and after 1997, feared grassroots participation and fulminated endlessly about the dangers of direct elections. They argued that it would be naive to think that democracy would enable them to resist Beijing: no political system could stop Beijing if it wanted to interfere in Hong Kong's affairs. Only by maintaining the territory's prosperity and its economic value to China, they insisted, could Hong Kong prevent interference from the mainland. The group also hired a public relations firm to make a video which, controversially and somewhat illogically, warned of the dangers of direct elections by showing, among other salutary examples, film clips of South Korean students throwing petrol bombs.The core members of the business and professional group formed the Business and Professionals Federation of Hong Kong.".
