Last update date: 2020-08-12 07:00The government cited the Emergency Regulations Ordinance to announce that the Legislative Council elections would be postponed for one year. The former chairman of the Legislative Council and the chairman of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of the Founding Party, Jasper Tsang Yok-seng, was among the first group of establishment cores who proposed to postpone the election. He yesterday (11th ) In an interview with "Hong Kong 01", it was emphasized that the government must make preparations in the coming year. Even if the new crown pneumonia epidemic continues a year later, it can still ensure that the election can proceed as scheduled. He said bluntly: "I want the chief executive to come out and promise that I will definitely be elected on September 5 next year, that's a lot!"
As for what is meant by preparatory work, Jasper Tsang pointed out that relevant laws and regulations should be revised and administrative arrangements should be implemented, including increasing the number of voting stations, extending the voting time, extending the polling day to two days, setting up early voting arrangements, and even adding postal voting and setting up in the Greater Bay Area. The voting station ensures that citizens can go out to vote while avoiding the risk of virus spread.
For the democrats criticizing his proposal of setting up voting stations in the Greater Bay Area, he said that the approach was biased towards the establishment. Jasper Tsang denounced the democrats for taking politics above everything else. He also believed that the measures would not affect the pan-democrats, supporters of the establishment and the proportion of votes. , "Poor! It's meaningless to hold the election reform seriously."

Participating in the plan to help Hong Kong people return to the Greater Bay Area for retirement, Jasper Jasper said they care about Hong Kong
The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress today (11th) finalized the renewal of the sixth term of the Legislative Council for no less than one year until the birth of the new term of the Legislative Council. Jasper Tsang believes that in the coming year, the government must make preparations for the elections one year from now and ensure that the elections can be conducted as scheduled within one year, otherwise the government cannot explain its decision to postpone the elections for one year. He believes that the government should refer to Singapore and South Korea. Let’s explore the measures taken by these countries during the epidemic so that the election can proceed smoothly.
Jasper Tsang believes that some less controversial measures can be implemented first, such as increasing the number of voting stations, extending the voting time, extending the polling day to two days, and setting up early voting arrangements. He specifically mentioned the possibility of "early voting." Guide Han also has a related policy, suggesting that the government can arrange for people in need to vote a few days earlier, describing the approach as "easy to do and less controversial."
Jasper Tsang proposed to set up a voting station in the Greater Bay Area earlier. This proposal was severely criticized by the democrats, including accusing it of favoring the establishment, making it difficult to monitor the voting process, and violating the regulations that require voters to "usually live in Hong Kong." When asked about the proposal to set up voting stations in the Greater Bay Area and to vote overseas, Jasper Tsang asked in the opposite direction: "Is it okay to understand? In the end, it must be passed by the Legislative Council. This is not uncommon in the world, especially Hong Kong as an international city, an open In the city, people go around. Don’t talk about moving to other places. On the polling day, there are many residents of Hong Kong.”
Jasper Tsang continued that the government often encourages citizens to return to the Greater Bay Area for development. He himself is also participating in a plan to assist Hong Kong people to return to the Greater Bay Area for retirement and rest. He described these Hong Kong people as having a heart for Hong Kong and seeking ways to allow them to vote. , Reasonable and reasonable.

Does not affect the proportion of institutional pan-pop support
Regarding the democrats’ opposition to the establishment of voting stations in the Greater Bay Area, Jasper Jasper criticized the democrats’ politics overriding everything. He doubted that even if voting in the Greater Bay Area was opened up, there would not be a system and a pan-democratic voter ratio, and he denounced: "Polar! It is meaningless to be serious about electoral reform."
Jasper Tsang believes that the government must work hard to design and deploy new voting measures from now on, otherwise it will only end up being "failed." He also believes that if the community is also "smoothing" on some controversial measures such as overseas voting, these measures should not be implemented in the next year's election. The most important thing at the moment is that the Chief Executive can promise that the election will be held as scheduled in one year. The chief executive must come out and promise that he will be elected on September 5 next year, that's a lot!"

US sanctions against China and Hong Kong officials Jasper Tsang: ridiculous
The US Treasury Department earlier announced sanctions against 11 Chinese and Hong Kong officials including Chief Executive Carrie Lam. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately responded and announced sanctions on 11 US politicians. Jasper Tsang said with a smile that the US sanctions are "ridiculous" and "sniffing", and they have no actual impact on the 11 Chinese and Hong Kong officials under sanctions. , Don’t mess with me, I don’t do it, I don’t do it", but it is even harder. I feel that the implementation of the "Hong Kong National Security Act" is an honorable task." For some DAB members who believe that citizens celebrate the sanctions of officials or violate the "Hong Kong "Regional National Security Law", Jasper Tsang said: "Society is a matter of fact. There are people in Li Zhiying who open champagne." He believes that it is a fact that some citizens are dissatisfied with the Lam Cheng government. Otherwise, the anti-amendment law will not be "made a big deal." Therefore, he believes that the central government and the SAR government must do work to win back the hearts of Hong Kong people.
The battle between China and the United States in geopolitics has made Hong Kong a "eye of the wind." Jasper Tsang believes that Hong Kong’s role in the Sino-US game "doesn’t make our decision." He also points out that it is because of Hong Kong’s special status that it will inevitably make Hong Kong anxious. The honeymoon relationship between China and the United States in the past few decades has gone forever. How to deal with yourself is a big challenge.
