It says, and I quote: \u201cThe method for selecting the Chief Executive shall be specified in the light of the actual situation in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and in accordance with the principle of gradual and orderly progress.\u201d I have to admit that \u201cthe principle of gradual and orderly progress\u201d sounds like an incredibly vague statement to me. I won't ask you for your definition unless you want to offer it. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4101268\" data-originallang=\"en\">Is there anything specific in the basic law or other governing document that says how the Chief Executive nominations are to take place? Is there anything specific about them having to be provided by China, or is it just something that's not stated at all?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4101266\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4101267\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais poser une question \u00e0 propos de l'article 45 de la Loi fondamentale. Voici un extrait de ce texte l\u00e9gislatif: \u00ab La m\u00e9thode de s\u00e9lection du chef de l'ex\u00e9cutif doit \u00eatre d\u00e9termin\u00e9e \u00e0 la lumi\u00e8re de la situation actuelle de la R\u00e9gion administrative sp\u00e9ciale de Hong Kong et conform\u00e9ment au principe d'\u00e9volution progressive et m\u00e9thodique. \u00bb Je dois admettre que la notion de \u00ab principe d'\u00e9volution progressive et m\u00e9thodique \u00bb me semble extr\u00eamement vague. Je ne vous demanderai pas de la d\u00e9finir, mais vous pouvez le faire si vous le souhaitez. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4101268\" data-originallang=\"en\">Est-ce que la Loi fondamentale ou un autre document directeur comporte des dispositions concernant express\u00e9ment la proc\u00e9dure relative aux nominations par le chef de l'ex\u00e9cutif? Est-ce que l'un de ces textes \u00e9nonce une exigence selon laquelle ces nominations doivent \u00eatre faites par la Chine? </p>"
