How does the U.S. Government feel about the upcoming Internet vote for Chief Executive in Hong Kong?

U.S. State Department “does not have a statement on” the March 23rd Internet poll in Hong Kong to ascertain the public’s preference for Chief Executive, but it did say that “this is an internal decision for the people of Hong Kong.”

In an e-mail sent to Etopia News, a State Department spokesperson wrote:

“In response to your inquiry, the Department does not have a statement on this since this is an internal decision for the people of Hong Kong.”

Very diplomatic of them.
