Conflicting signals and intriguing political acts of Hong Kong\u2019s top three officials have emerged on the eve of the \u201cinspection\u201d trip of NPC chairman Zhang Dejiang, the country\u2019s Number Three, to the city on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Although there are clear signs that Zhang is likely to avoid hard-hitting bashing on the hyper-sensitive issue of Hong Kong independence, his three-day visit will be hardly held in a soft and relaxed mood. The opposite is true. Police will mobilise thousands of officers armed with counter-terrorism, anti-riot equipments to make sure the visit is trouble-free.<\/p>\n

A source familiar with the visit said Zhang is keen to convey a positive message to the city in view of the negative air prevalent among the people. He is likely to maintain the moderate tone of officials on Hong Kong issues adopted during the \u201ctwo sessions,\u201d naming National People\u2019s Congress and Chinese People\u2019s Political Consultative Conference in early March.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
