FEIGN FOR HONG KONG CHIEF EXECUTIVE
Following is the transcript of Larry Feign's speech to the
Hong Kong Foreign Correspondents Club on 30 April 2004:

My name is Larry Feign and I am the first person to officially declare his candidacy for Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
I know, the new CE isn't supposed to be selected until 2007. But you never know; any day now the NPC Standing Committee could "reinterpret" the year 2007 to really mean 2099, or 2005½ for that matter, so as a candidate I want to be prepared.
I know what you're thinking-Yes, Feign is the dream candidate. But he's a-er-faan gwailo, isn't he? I'm Chinese and I can prove it. Take a look at my passport: says right on it "United States of America". Just like Tung Chee-Hwa's children have. Same as that mega-super-patriot Ronnie Chan, who yet again this week lambasted Hong Kong people for not being loyal enough to Hong Kong and China. Obviously I'm as Chinese as they are American.
