On Monday, Chinese Prudent Hu Jintao urged Hong Kong to make sure that it is handling all political reforms effectively, right as the opposition democrats across the city are looking at fresh protests against the slow pace of change.

As guaranteed in Hong Kong's mini-constitution, the former British Colony, which came back under the Chinese rule in 1997, has struggled with Beijing's Communist Party for more than 10 years over, what some call, a "roadmap toward universal suffrage".

Currently, the city is in the process of drafting a fresh political blueprint to change electoral arrangement in 2012, which would be aimed at moving towards a "universal suffrage" in the year 2017.

But Hong Kong's carious opposition parties, collectively called the "pan-democratic camp", which controls 23 seats out of the total 60 seats in the city's legislature, is looking to give up 5 of those seats during next month with the aim to trigger a "referendum on democracy".

"The leaders indicated that the central government is sincere about hoping to push forward Hong Kong's democratic development and hope that we can properly handle the constitutional reform work. It's important that the political reform process moves forward... I will do my best on this", said Hong Kong leader Donald Tsang while on a duty visit to Beijing, when Mr. Hu praised his administration and pointed out that post the financial crisis, the city has managed to recollect itself effectively.
