HONG KONG, Aug. 26 -- China's Hong Kong Chief Executive CY Leung urged the community to use legal means to express views on constitutional development here Tuesday.

Addressing the media before the Executive Council meeting Tuesday, Leung said the behavior of the Occupy Central organizers had hindered Hong Kong's constitutional reform process.

Noting that the National People's Congress Standing Committee will soon make a decision on his report on constitutional reform, he said he hopes the community will express their views in a peaceful and legal manner.

Leung also said political reform in Hong Kong must adhere to the Basic Law, which does not mention the "international" standard called for by Occupy Central organizers.

Occupy Central has warned it will take action if the National People's Congress Standing Committee's decision on Hong Kong's constitutional reform fails to meet international standards of universal suffrage.

The city's chief rejected the demand, saying that many political and economic arrangements in Hong Kong do not comply with international standards, such as permanent residents with overseas nationality being allowed to enjoy election rights.
