The reorganization of the Hong Kong election system has entered the countdown. China raised the level of pressure by releasing the contents of the draft and the roadmap, and some of the Hong Kong forces also agreed to this and began to drive public opinion. The goal of the Hong Kong democratization movement: securing a majority of the legislative assembly (our National Assembly) seats and achieving a straightforward system by the administrative ministers is in crisis of lightening the wind.
The state-run Xinhua News Agency said on the 7th, “It is essential to fully implement the principle of’Hong Kong ruled by patriots’ for the one country and two systems (one country and two systems). I will devote myself to this,” said Han Jeong, a standing member of the Communist Party Political Bureau and Vice Prime Minister. This is a statement by a deputy prime minister, who oversees the affairs of Hong Kong, met with the Hong Kong delegation who attended the National People’s Congress the day before. It reiterated the Communist Party’s will to change the electoral system through a quick decision.

In line with the opening of the NPC on the 5th, China deliberated on a draft of the Hong Kong election system reorganization. Chinese media said, “It will contain the contents of changing the size and composition of the Hong Kong administrative ministers’ electoral corps, and reinforcing the role of candidates and electoral corps.” It means that the democratic camp completely cuts off the channel through which it will exert influence in the election. According to Hong Kong media such as Myungbo, △The number of electoral members increased from 1,200 to 1,500 and the number of legislative seats from 70 to 90, and △Rather than removing 117 seats for the former council members (dominated by the democratic camp), the share of the pro-Chinese power will increase by more than 400. Forecast. By electing the head of the Hong Kong government as a trunk system, it means that even the electoral corps will be decided according to China’s breath.
Accordingly, it is anticipated that the draft will be finalized on the 11th, which will close by the NPC, and after that, the NPC will revise the annex to the Hong Kong Basic Law, and then go through the procedure for amendment of the law by the Hong Kong government. In the case of last year’s Hong Kong Security Law, it was passed through the NPC in May, and was enforced in just one month after a resolution by the Commerce Council in June.

The pro-Chinese forces in Hong Kong also came to the fore. In an interview with Reuters, legislator Martin Liao pointed out that “Hong Kong people are politically inexperienced.” At the same time, discussing the elections for the US president and the British prime minister, he urged, “(Hong Kong anti-government forces) say that one vote is the best, and accept the advice of countries that are not straightforward.” It is argued that the administrative minister’s arterial system should be strengthened in line with China’s guidelines.
Civil servants also added. Four related organizations, including the Hong Kong Civil Service Association, issued a joint statement and insisted, “We must firmly support the reorganization of the election system and block anti-Chinese forces from entering government organizations.” Some public officials’ organizations expressed their opposition to the government during the 2019 democratization protests and empowered the democratic camp, but this time it was different. The China Global Times cited representatives from 70 countries who attended the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), saying, “We support the one-country system and urge certain countries to stop intervening in China’s internal affairs.” Excluding the United States and other Western countries, many countries are friendly to the reorganization of the Hong Kong election system.
