The nomination period for the general election of the Legislative Council ends on Friday (12th), and all seats are in competition.
Liu Zhaojia, the vice president of the National Hong Kong and Macau Research Association, said that due to the fact that the "opposition" failed to "get into the gate" to run for the election, and there were no fierce political issues, the voter turnout rate in the next month's Legislative Council election was expected to be only about 30%, which he described as expected.
He believes that to reverse the political situation in the past, low turnout is an inevitable price.
Refers to the low turnout rate as an "inevitable price"
Regarding the democrats and the “non-establishment faction” who have successfully obtained enough election committee nomination, Liu Zhaojia believes that strictly speaking, if the candidates who can pass the qualification examination, they should all be “patriots” and believe that some of them come from democracy. Candidates from the opposition faction and opposition faction still want the support of some pan-democratic and opposition voters, so they dare not claim to be "patriots" and "establishment factions." In the support of some pan-democratic voters.
Liu Zhaojia believes that it is only a transitional period. In the future, everyone will call themselves "patriots." The labels of establishment, democrats, and pan-democrats will gradually lose their political theory and practical significance.
Liu Zhaojia believes that competition in all sectors is a "good thing." "It's not reasonable to be caused by (competition)." This means that competition naturally prevents all political participants from being elected. All politicians have to face up. In order to be elected by competition, members of the Diet will naturally have to do a good job and possess the true skills of governing Hong Kong when they are in office.

Liu Zhaojia said that historical decisions are very important
The Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (Sixth Plenary Session) passed the "Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Major Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party's Centennial Struggle", which mentioned Hong Kong.
Liu Zhaojia today (14) said in an interview with "Wireless Program" to explain Chu clearly that the CCP had made historical resolutions twice in the history of the Communist Party. The first was to overthrow the ultra-left line and establish Mao Zedong's status in 1945, and the other was in 1981. The rejection of the Cultural Revolution shifted the focus of work from political struggle to reform and economic development. Therefore, this historical resolution is very weighty and extremely important, and it points the way for the future development of the CCP.
The historical resolution mentioned that in adhering to "one country, two systems" and advancing the reunification of the motherland, "the Party Central Committee has adopted a series of measures to address both symptoms and root causes", and firmly implement "patriots ruling Hong Kong" and "patriots ruling Macao" to promote the realization of the situation in Hong Kong. The major transition from chaos to governance has laid a solid foundation for advancing the rule of law in Hong Kong and Macau, and promoting the steady and long-term practice of "one country, two systems."
Liu Zhaojia believes that the turmoil in Hong Kong in the past few years has caused the CCP to attach great importance to the Hong Kong issue. He also pointed out that the CCP regards overcoming the color revolution in Hong Kong as a major achievement. He explained that the "temporary cure" is to prevent another major turmoil in Hong Kong, and the "root cure" is to resolve the deep-seated contradictions behind the turmoil. The solution is to implement patriots to govern Hong Kong, deal with the deep-seated contradictions in Hong Kong, and prevent anti-China chaos. Hong Kong people entered the system, launched ideological education, strengthened government governance, etc.
Some analysts pointed out that this historical resolution may establish that President Xi Jinping will be in power for a long time. Liu Zhaojia pointed out that the CCP Constitution itself has no limit on the term of office of the general secretary, and the Constitution has also been revised earlier to exempt the President’s term of office. Xi Jinping hopes to be re-elected, and he will not encounter any institutional obstacles.
