The Hong Kong government quoted the "Emergency Law" to postpone the general election of the Legislative Council for one year, and the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress decided to deal with the "vacuum period" of the Legislative Council. Four members of the democratic legislature, including Yang Yueqiao, Guo Jiaqi, Liang Jichang and Guo Rongkeng, were disqualified from the next election after being ruled that they did not meet the provisions of the Legislative Council Ordinance. They will stay in the parliament in the coming year , Has become the key to whether the non-establishment parties can hold one-third of the seats in the Legislative Council.

He Junyao, a member of the Legislative Council, believes that with regard to the issue of the "transitional period," the current Legislative Council members should be extended for one year with the approval of the Chief Executive. However, for members who are eligible for the next DQ election, he believes that the government's ruling of the Returning Officer should be established and respected, and the four persons should not be extended legally or logically.

In addition, He Junyao proposed that any congressman who has been found guilty by the court should not be extended regardless of whether he or she has been in prison; any incumbent congressman who fails to abide by his oath to perform his public duties, such as participating in collusion with overseas political parties, conducting subversive activities and acts, should not be granted. Renewal; any congressmen who have participated in the "Recover Hong Kong, Revolution of the Times" or "Five Aspirations, One Is Indispensable" and other activities that promote "Hong Kong independence" should be removed.

He Junyao said that Hong Kong can allow democrats to exist, but they must be "democrats within the establishment." "You can have different opinions, but if you break away from legal restrictions, you have to pursue Hong Kong independence. This is not freedom of speech but subversion of the country." He also pointed out that I did not count how many pan-democratic legislators supported the "Five Major Appeals", saying that this was a request made by me. I wonder if the government or the central government will accept them all.

He believes that in the transitional period of the coming year, the Legislative Council should enact legislation on Article 23 of the Basic Law as soon as possible. He also pointed out that in the past, pan-democratic parliamentarians used to propose a point algorithm to determine the number of people. He proposed to amend the "Rules of Procedure", use electronic equipment to locate legislators, and change the point number basis to the number of members in the building. , Believes that the efficiency of parliament can be improved.
