Hong Kong legislator-elect "Long Hair" Leung Kwok-hung (
Leung, known for his flowing locks and trademark Che Guevara T-shirts, is one of 60 legislators elected last Sunday whom Tung has invited for talks this week.
"I will tell him to step down," the outspoken Marxist and radical democracy activist said.
The veteran protester said he was not planning a demonstration, although he could not say what his friends might do.
"I won't protest when I meet him," Leung said. "But my friends haven't decided yet."
Accusing Tung's administration of favoring the rich and powerful at the expense of the poor and underprivileged, Leung has been calling for Tung's resignation for years.
He has served short stints in prison for his protest antics and says he takes his inspiration from Che Guevara and will continue to wear his trademark T-shirts with the face of the guerilla revolutionary along with frayed jeans.
"I'll wear a T-shirt and jeans to the meeting," Leung said.
Long a thorn in Beijing's side, the 48-year-old Leung has condemned almost every major move by the government and by Beijing and is a fixture at just about any protest.
He and other members of his April Fifth Action group often carry mock coffins to symbolize the death of democracy and burn the Chinese national flag.
Leung may again embarrass Tung and Chinese officials at National Day celebrations on Oct. 1.
The government has invited him to a flag-raising ceremony and other celebrations at which Tung and Chinese officials will be present.
"I am considering whether to attend. If I do, I will protest there and then," he said.
Three pro-democracy politicians, meanwhile, said that they urged a senior mainland Chinese official yesterday to pay heed to local wishes for full democracy in Hong Kong, but they reported no immediate progress or narrowing of differences.
The deputy director of China's liaison office in Hong Kong, Zou Zhekai (鄒哲開), met Friday with independent lawmaker Audrey Eu (余若薇), who was re-elected last Sunday, and two other democracy advocates who also won seats.
"I told him the fact that more than 60 percent of voters cast their votes for candidates supporting direct elections showed that they are very keen to have more democracy," Eu said.
Eu declined to discuss Zou's response, as did the liaison office.
Pro-democracy politicians took 25 seats in the 60-member Legislative Council in Sunday's election -- a gain of three seats but still far short of a majority.
Eu and colleagues Alan Leong (梁家傑) and Ronny Tong (湯家驊) are all prominent lawyers from the pro-democracy camp. But they are seen as more moderate than members of the opposition Democratic Party and the Frontier political alliance, perhaps making it easier for China to meet with them.
Eu said she urged the central government to improve communication with Hong Kong's opposition figures, saying it would help ease the political tensions that have been running high in the territory for more than a year.

The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) working group for Taiwan-related policies is likely to be upgraded to a committee-level body, a report commissioned by the Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) said.

US-CHINA TRADE DISPUTE: Despite Beijing’s offer of preferential treatment, the lure of China has dimmed as Taiwanese and international investors move out Japan and the US have become the favored destinations for Taiwanese graduates as China’s attraction has waned over the years, the Ministry of Labor said.
