TOKYO -- Anson Chan Fong On-sang, former Hong Kong chief secretary under British rule, said Tuesday China can use the territory as a testing ground for democracy and that Beijing must not meddle too much in its affairs to ensure stability and prosperity.
"We've always been a testing ground. For example, we've been a testing ground for China in experimenting with financial reforms," Chan told Nikkei Asian Review on the sidelines of the annual Asia Future conference hosted by The Nikkei.
