Professor Wang Shaoguang, professor of the Department of Politics and Administration of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, pointed out that Hong Kong and Macau are in one country, two systems The country is more important than the two systems. Talking about the "two systems" and leaving the "one country" without guaranteeing national security is a "dream of the day, and it will never be achieved." It also means that many people are still dreaming. Both are important. Zheng Yongnian, director of the Institute of East Asian Studies at the National University of Singapore, pointed out that it is very difficult for China to implement one-person-one-vote elections, which is almost impossible.

"No country governs society with police only"
Wang Shaoguang pointed out that "one country" is more important than "two systems" in one country and two systems, and 23 articles must be established first to protect national security. He emphasized that many people now think that "hitting a smash, smashing a smash, no one manages themselves", which will never be achieved. He also criticized that the Hong Kong government needs to improve too much, "regardless of its control." He pointed out that no country only uses the police to govern society, and it needs to use other methods to solve problems in order to effectively manage a place. He believes that many people I think universal suffrage can solve social problems and simplify complex problems.

"One person, one vote" assumes that the wisdom of equal citizenship is unrealistic and impossible to achieve in China
Zheng Yongnian said that China's population is larger than the total number of EU countries. It is very high to imitate Western countries and implement "one person, one vote" elections. And universal suffrage assumes that all people have equal wisdom, analytical ability, and rational voting. I believe that these three major premises are not close to reality. He took the Brexit referendum as an example, referring to the "one person, one vote" referendum leaving the UK in crisis. He believed that not every citizen who voted clearly understood the impact of each political decision on the country, so he did not agree with China. The implementation of the referendum, at the same time, felt that the democratic system should be redesigned, non-compliant with the practices of Western countries.
