Image description

Hong Kong's future leader Tung Chee-hwa (2nd left) is presented with a boxed flag that had been fired into space. The flag will become Hong Kong's new flag after the British colony returns to Chinese rule at Midnight on June 30. The presentation was made after a session of the Hong Kong Preparatiory Committee closed in Beijing's Great Hall of the People May 23. The flag was recovered after spending 15 days in orbit aboard a scientific research satellite last year. Tung is accompanied by Hong Kong Macau Affairs cabinets director Lu Ping (3rd right) and Liu Jiyuan (2nd right), general manager of China Aeropspace Corporation. CHINA HONGKONG
