In an exclusive interview with "Hong Kong 01", the vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and former chief executive Liang Zhenying said that the Sino-British Joint Declaration and the Basic Law clearly stated that the Chief Executive can be selected by election or negotiation and appointed by the central government. "If tomorrow Announcing that the Chief Executive will be changed through negotiation, the British cannot say that we violated the "Joint Declaration."

The New Democratic Party chairman Ye Liu Shuyi responded that Leung Chun-ying’s proposal complies with the Basic Law and believes that "new thinking" can be discussed, but has no particular opinion on whether the next chief executive should be negotiated instead.

Democratic Party Vice Chairman Lin Zhuoting criticized that if the chief executive is elected through consultation, it is more retrogressive than the 1,200-member election. It is better to directly appoint the chief executive.

Regarding the possibility of negotiating the election of the chief executive, he said that anything can happen in Hong Kong.

Liu Zhaojia, vice chairman of the National Hong Kong and Macau Research Association, believes that the chief executive is usually elected by election, but mentioned that if Dai Yaoting’s "Ten Steps" is successful, the election committee will be controlled by anti-Chinese people and the chief executive cannot be formed. This has to be considered. Under the circumstances, the central government may adopt the negotiation method.

Ye Liu: The "Joint Statement" does not mention universal suffrage and democracy

Ip Liu Shuyi pointed out that the Basic Law states that the chief executive can be elected or negotiated. The Sino-British Joint Declaration does not mention universal suffrage and democracy, and that Leung Chun-ying's statement is in line with the Basic Law.

When asked whether the sudden change to the chief executive through consultation would violate Article 45 of the Basic Law, that is, according to the actual situation in Hong Kong and the principle of gradual and orderly progress, the goal of universal suffrage will eventually be reached. Ye Tai pointed out that democratic elections are institutionally A good thing is that it can strengthen the government’s accountability and make the government respond to public opinion. However, in recent years, there have been signs of being robbed, "to oppose it for the sake of opposition, or abuse the Rules of Procedure to mobilize, and even want to use the election mechanism to approach coercion." The SAR government even wants to overthrow the SAR government and force the Chief Executive to resign. It has gone beyond the permissible scope of the Basic Law. Therefore, some members of the public have proposed new ideas and I think it can be discussed."

Member of the Executive Council and Chairman of the New Democrat Party, Ye Liu Shuyi, pointed out that the Basic Law states that the chief executive can be elected or negotiated. The Sino-British Joint Declaration does not mention universal suffrage and democracy, and believes that Leung Chun-ying’s statement is in line with the Basic Law.

Liu Zhaojia pointed out that the micro-election of opportunity can strengthen the acceptance

Huang Biyun, a former legislator of the Democratic Party, expressed surprise and dissatisfaction with Liang Zhenying's statement and questioned Liang's selective use of Article 45 of the Basic Law in order to generate a chief executive for negotiations.

Huang Biyun pointed out that universal suffrage of the chief executive was the ultimate goal promised by the central government that year. If the chief executive is negotiated 23 years after the transfer of sovereignty, it will be a major retrogression in democracy.

When interviewed by "Hong Kong 01", Liu Zhaojia said that the election of the chief executive can strengthen his acceptance, and at the same time change the election committee system and the qualifications of election committees, and also prevent the opposition from attempting to seize power. Therefore, he believes that the election of the chief executive through consultation is Minimal.

Liu Zhaojia believes that the Sino-British Joint Declaration at that time stated that the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region could be elected or negotiated and appointed by the central government. No objection was raised at that time, so the outside world is now "silent."
