I was and am still very disappointed that my remarks in a totally private exclusive session, which is a lunch, actually, which clearly is subject to all Chatham House rules have been recorded and then passed to the media. I think this is quite unacceptable, OK? So to further suggest or allege that myself or the government have any role to play in this thing is absolutely unfounded. So that point has to be made extremely clear.
On the first point about resignation, I've said on several occasions previously, and also reaffirmed by my colleagues in the chief executive's office in response to media inquiry, that throughout this period - that is, from the very beginning till now - I have never... I have never tendered a resignation to the Central People's Government. I have not even contemplated to discuss a resignation with the Central People's Government.
The choice of not resigning is my own choice, OK? But if you want to understand, because in a private session I just attempted to explain that as an individual, given the very difficult circumstances, might be it was an easy choice to leave. But I told myself repeatedly in the last three months that I and my team should stay on to help Hong Kong.
