Tan Huizhu: When the time is right, the Election Committee can change the Chief Executive Election Committee

Tan Huizhu pointed out that the improvement of the electoral system is constitutional and legal, and the ultimate goal of double universal suffrage has not been revised. He believes that some foreigners criticize the improvement of the electoral system as a violation of the Basic Law. He emphasized that the background of the election committee complies with Article 45 of the Basic Law. It must be widely representative. When the time is right, as long as the number of people and the functions of the election committee are changed, the general election of the chief executive in Article 45 can be met.

She said that despite the efforts of many governments to revise the electoral system after the reunification, they did not solve the deep-seated problems in Hong Kong. The opposition continued to politicize democratic economic issues, used loopholes in rules to spread the word, and led the elections with the ideology of "democratic resistance to communism." Some politically veterans paralyzed the parliament after being elected, and even unscrupulously promoted Hong Kong independence.

She said that in the past, Hong Kong citizens could not enjoy the benefits of high-quality democracy and fell into the trap of vote democracy. Hong Kong’s deep-seated problems cannot be resolved through constant elections. It is necessary to deconstruct whether the previous system has deepened the opposition between the executive and the legislation, weakened the function of parliament, and created society. Torn.

Tan Huizhu stated that the Qualifications Examination Board plays a gatekeeper role and implements the legitimate requirements of the patriots to govern Hong Kong. The response from the media and all walks of life shows that the Qualifications Examination Board's review decisions are fair and just, which has deepened the acceptance of elections.

Fan Xu Litai reprimanded former congressmen for begging for foreign sanctions

Fan Xu Litai pointed out that because one country exists, two systems are meaningful. She criticized some legislators who begged foreign countries to sanction Hong Kong in the past. "Have they considered the livelihood of the people of Hong Kong? Have they considered that Hong Kong is part of the country?" She said. In the past, Hong Kong’s mechanism for forming members of the Legislative Council had serious problems. Now the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress is re-planning based on the principle of patriots ruling Hong Kong.

She hopes that the members of the next Legislative Council will have a "Hong Kong view" and consider the interests of Hong Kong as a whole. They should not only look at their own sectors or constituencies, but also give up considering only for their own voters, sacrifice the benefits to the whole Hong Kong, and give up only talking about their own voters. If you like it, and give up putting all problems on the government.

Tian Feilong pointed out that the concepts of patriotism and democracy have been separated in Hong Kong for a long time. It seems that the more patriotic, the less democratic, and the more democratic, the less patriotic.

Tian Feilong: Elections must serve national interests

Tian Feilong, director of the National Society for Hong Kong and Macau Studies, said that under the principle of patriots ruling Hong Kong, competitive elections are no longer about splitting Hong Kong, but about building consensus. Hong Kong elections only serve Hong Kong society and citizens, and must serve the interests of the country. The selection system should point to good governance and good governance in Hong Kong, and undertake the important task of transforming the second half of the one country, two systems.

He also pointed out that patriotism and democracy should be the co-existing elements of modern society. However, in Hong Kong, the two concepts have been separated for a long time. It seems that the more patriotic, the less democratic, and the more democratic the less patriotic. It is unhealthy. Under the new election, patriotism can be established. The foundation of democratic culture.
