This paper explores the potential of multi-dimensional politics in the Legislative Council (LegCo) of Hong Kong. The conventional understanding of Hong Kong’s elite politics is that the issues of democratization and its relationship to Mainland China have absorbed other potential issues. In contrast, this paper argues that other potential issues sometimes appear to be important in Hong Kong politics. To demonstrate this argument, I focus on the parliamentary questions of the LegCo members to the executive branch on the economic issue. The empirical analysis presents that the LegCo members’ ideology along the major cleavage has not related to parliamentary questioning on economic issue. Rather, the statistical result of the negative binomial regression presents that legislators who are less aligned with the China factor participate more actively in economic policy-making in the legislature. The structure of parliamentary politics is complex, and if we take an earlier legislative process seriously, a limited but considerable amount of diverse policy representation in Hong Kong could be observed.
