Xia Baolong, director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office of the State Council, set the tone for the principle of "patriots ruling Hong Kong" at a seminar held by the National Hong Kong and Macau Research Association last week, emphasizing that important positions should not be occupied by "anti-China chaos in Hong Kong" under any circumstances.
Starting today (February 28), Xia Baolong attended a two-day symposium in Shenzhen to listen to the opinions of representatives from all walks of life in Hong Kong on improving the Hong Kong election system and "patriots ruling Hong Kong".
Fan Xu Litai, a former member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, said in an interview that it is recommended that the National People's Congress abolish the number of members of the Hong Kong District Council on the Chief Executive Election Committee and replace them with NPC deputies and CPPCC members.
Means that 5 seats "Super Zone" should be cancelled
Fan Xu Litai pointed out that Article 97 of the Basic Law states that Hong Kong can have non-political regional organizations and cannot play a role in the political power. Therefore, it is necessary to consider whether the district council should be included in the election committee for the election of the chief executive. 1 seats, it is believed that representatives of district councils do not need to be on the election committee.
She also pointed out that the seats in the five super district boards of the Legislative Council should also be cancelled.
During Xia Baolong’s attendance at the seminar last Monday (22nd), he set three major standards for "patriots ruling Hong Kong". The first is that patriots must sincerely safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests, and do not engage in activities that endanger national sovereignty and security. Activities, this is the lowest standard for patriots, attacking the central government, publicly promoting "Hong Kong independence", begging foreign countries to impose sanctions on Hong Kong, etc., are undoubtedly not patriots; the second is to respect and safeguard the country’s fundamental system and the SAR Constitution The socialist system under the leadership of the Communist Party of China must not be compromised. The third is to make every effort to maintain the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong, emphasizing that "speculators" are not among patriots.
Xia Baolong also emphasized at the time that "patriots governing Hong Kong" is the core of the "one country, two systems" policy, and the election system must be improved as soon as possible.
He said that after the return, Hong Kong must be governed by patriots, and that the power of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region must be in the hands of patriots. He also said that insisting on "patriots ruling Hong Kong" is a major principle issue related to the success or failure of the cause of "one country, two systems" and cannot be tolerated. A little vague.
