The National People's Congress will open today (5th). The meeting will consider the motion of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress on submitting for deliberation the "National People's Congress Decision on Improving the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Election System (Draft)".

Several establishment parties immediately issued statements expressing their support for the draft. The DAB believes that the relevant decision can implement the principle of "patriots ruling Hong Kong", guarantee the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong, and allow "one country, two systems" to achieve stability and long-term development.

Tung Chee-hwa, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former chief executive, pointed out that Hong Kong has reached a critical moment when it cannot reform. Patriots hold important public positions. This is the core principle of "one country, two systems" and a universally recognized political ethic.

He believes that the vast majority of Hong Kong citizens want to see patriots who love Hong Kong govern Hong Kong, adhere to the foundation of "one country," make good use of the benefits of "two systems," and strive to solve various social, economic, and people's livelihood problems.

The DAB’s National People’s Congress and CPPCC members put forward 22 proposals and proposals at the two sessions, including exempting Hong Kong residents from being vaccinated from quarantine, allowing Hong Kong residents in the Mainland to receive domestic vaccines in Shenzhen, and relaxing the calculation of personal income tax on the Mainland.

According to the DAB, according to Article 62, paragraph 14 of the Constitution, "The National People's Congress decides on the establishment and system of special administrative regions." Therefore, it is entirely the central authority to improve Hong Kong's electoral system.

After the draft is passed, they will fully cooperate with the SAR government in making necessary local legislative work.

The DAB believes that there are loopholes in the current election system in Hong Kong, allowing anti-China and chaotic Hong Kong elements to gain access to the power structure of the SAR, wantonly obstructing the administration of the SAR government, creating social conflicts and turmoil, opposing the central government, and even encouraging the separation of "Hong Kong independence". Ism, colluding with foreign forces.

The DAB stated that this deviates from the principle of "patriots ruling Hong Kong", threatens the effective implementation of "one country, two systems," and harms national sovereignty, security, and development interests. It is necessary and timely for the National People's Congress to make relevant decisions.

Tung Chee-hwa: Hong Kong cannot improve the electoral system if it is not reformed, the welfare of 7.5 million people is related

Tung Chee-hwa, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former chief executive, pointed out that Hong Kong has reached a critical moment when it cannot reform. Patriots hold important public positions. This is the core principle of "one country, two systems" and a universally recognized political ethic.

He believes that the vast majority of Hong Kong citizens would like to see patriots who love Hong Kong rule Hong Kong, adhere to the foundation of "one country", make good use of the benefits of "two systems", and strive to solve various social, economic, and livelihood issues, and actively integrate into it. The overall situation of the country’s development is to complement the advantages of the Mainland and develop in coordination to create a harmonious, stable and prosperous social environment for Hong Kong citizens to live and work in peace and contentment.

Tung Chee-hwa described that from the perspective of Hong Kong governance, the full implementation of the principle of "patriots ruling Hong Kong" and the improvement of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's electoral system are major measures for the central government to fully implement the "One Country, Two Systems" policy. It is not only related to the well-being of 7.5 million Hong Kong citizens, but also must It will bring a sound system guarantee for the long-term stability of the special zone.

He pointed out that since the reunification, the central government's determination to unswervingly implement the "one country, two systems" policy in accordance with the Constitution and the Basic Law has not changed, its determination to protect Hong Kong citizens' rights and freedoms in accordance with the law has not changed, and its determination to promote the gradual and orderly development of Hong Kong's democratic system has not changed.

He believes that the principle of "Patriots governing Hong Kong" should be fully implemented, to correct the chaos of Hong Kong's political ecology in the past few years, and to prevent anti-China chaos Hong Kong elements from entering Hong Kong's governance structure through elections, which will affect the national sovereignty, security, development interests, and long-term Hong Kong Prosperity and stability cause harm. This is what the people want, and it is a matter of course.

Representatives of the Hong Kong People's Congress of Pakatan Rakyat and members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference put forward 17 proposals.

The CPPCC members of the party jointly proposed that the central government establish a "vaccine clearance pass" approved by China and Hong Kong to provide incentives for Hong Kong citizens to vaccinate and restart personnel exchanges between the two places.

Regarding the central government’s efforts to revise and improve the relevant electoral system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Pakatan Harapan Association also issued a statement expressing its full support. Only by improving the electoral system, ensuring that patriots join the governance structure, and improving the quality of governance and political discussion, can Hong Kong bring chaos to society. Return to the right track, refocus on economic development, improve people's livelihood, and achieve long-term stability.

According to Pakatan Harapan, the anti-China chaos in Hong Kong has entered the Legislative Council and District Councils, and implemented various anti-China chaos in Hong Kong, which seriously challenged the bottom line of the principle of "one country, two systems" and seriously damaged the well-being of Hong Kong people. The most important reason is that "patriots rule Hong Kong." The principle has not been fully implemented.

The Alliance believes that Hong Kong is currently in a critical period of transition from chaos to governance. The full implementation of the principle of "Patriots governing Hong Kong" can eradicate system risks, bring chaos out of order, and ensure that Hong Kong's governance is firmly in the hands of patriots and sincerely serves Hong Kong. Citizen services will help resolve deep-seated problems in Hong Kong, bring society back on track, focus on economic development and improve people's livelihood.
