Businessman Sir David Tang discusses Hong Kong's upcoming election.

With Hong Kong police now using strong-arm tactics on protesters, Stephen Sackur asks successful Hong Kong businessman Sir David Tang about the extent of Beijing's influence.

The Hong Kong authorities seem to be running out of patience with the pro-democracy protests on their streets. We have seen police using more strong-arm tactics - scores of activists have been arrested, cameras captured one protester being badly beaten. But tougher policing will not resolve the impasse over the election of Hong Kong's next chief executive. HARDtalk speaks to successful Hong Kong businessman, Sir David Tang. Is the territory's elite in Beijing's pocket?
