Henrietta Ip Man-hing, OBE, JP (born 7 December 1947, Hong Kong) is a paediatrician and politician.

She and other businessmen, financiers and industrialists set up the Business and Professionals group, which later transformed into Group of 89 to put forward a conservative proposal for electing the Chief Executive of Hong Kong after 1997.

In fact, your resistance to granting us full citizenship and the right of abode in the United Kingdom reflects your doubt about the Joint Declaration.
