HONG KONG - China's top agency overseeing Hong Kong said lawmakers blocking action by the local legislature were potentially violating their oaths, in a signal that Beijing was losing patience with the months-long legislative logjam.
"Some opposition lawmakers have resorted to sleazy tactics to paralyse the legislature for political gain at the expense of the public, which is tantamount to 'political mutual destruction,'" the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office said."They could have violated their oath, which could mean misconduct in public office."
Both the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office and China's Liaison Office in the city have"no power or right to influence or comment on how Legco and its subcommittees operate and how Legco members fulfil their responsibilities," Kwok said in an emailed statement from his office on Monday.
