Original title: Improvement of the RAE electoral system to guarantee the stability and long-term practice of “One country, two systems”
Xinhua News Agency, Hong Kong, March 7 Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government officials recently stated that the constitutional level of the National People’s Congress to improve the electoral system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region can ensure the long-term stability and practice of “One country , two systems “and allow Hong Kong to maintain long-term prosperity and stability.
The fourth session of the 13th National People’s Congress considered the “Decision of the National People’s Congress on Improving the Electoral System of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (Draft)”. Hong Kong SAR government officials believe that the upgrading of the SAR electoral system fully reflects the central government’s determination to safeguard national security, the central government’s unwavering adherence to the “one country, two systems” policy. and the firm maintenance and concern of the central government for the general interests of Hong Kong and the fundamental welfare of the citizens.
The Chief Administrative Secretary of the Government of the Special Administrative Region, Zhang Jianzong, said that “the patriots rule Hong Kong” is justified and upright, perfecting the electoral system does not require delay.
He said that the “rabbit” of opposition lawmakers has caused the House Committee of the Legislative Council to not function normally for many months. To hinder the administration of the government of the RAE and achieve their political goals, they do not hesitate to harm the well-being of citizens and do everything possible. If “the patriots rule Hong Kong”, these internal disputes and frictions will not appear. The Legislative Council can focus on doing practical things, work hard to improve people’s livelihoods and promote economic development, so that Hong Kong will advance and the practice of “one country, two systems” will go further. Further, faster and better.
The Finance Secretary of the Government of the Special Administrative Region, Chen Maobo, said that Hong Kong, as part of the country, “one country” is in danger, and the operation of the “two systems”, the development of Hong Kong, and you can’t even argue the status of an international financial center.
He said that plugging the loopholes in the electoral system from the legal and institutional level not only solves the difficulties that Hong Kong faces and cannot handle on its own, but also fills Hong Kong’s deficiencies in national security. Only in this way will Hong Kong be able to focus on promoting and improving construction and development holistically, gradually solving deep-seated people’s livelihood and economic problems.
The Secretary of Justice of the Government of the Special Administrative Region, Ruohua Cheng, said that anywhere the governance power should be in the hands of the patriots, patriot governance is a basic criterion.
He said that when Mr. Deng Xiaoping envisioned “one country, two systems,” he pointed out that the limit and standard of the “Hong Kong people who rule Hong Kong” is that the patriots should be the main body. Therefore, the principle of “patriots ruling Hong Kong” has long been embedded in the “one country, two systems” policy. According to the Hong Kong Constitution and Basic Law, the power of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region comes from the central government. Although the RAE enjoys a high degree of autonomy, there are still some issues that fall within the central authority, including national security and constitutional order related to the RAE. As the highest organ of state power, the National People’s Congress has the power to enact laws, other legal documents, and make decisions in accordance with the Constitution.
The Director of the RAE Government Civil Service Office, Nie Dequan, expressed his support for the improvement of the RAE electoral system. He said that “the patriots who rule Hong Kong” is nothing new and fully complies with the constitutional requirements of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. To ensure that the practice of “one country, two systems” is stable and powerful, we must always adhere to the principle of “patriots ruling Hong Kong”. This is a fundamental principle that concerns national sovereignty, security and development interests, as well as Hong Kong’s long-term prosperity and stability.
The Secretary of Security of the Government of the Special Administrative Region, Li Jiachao, published an article in which he affirmed that improving the electoral system is an important measure to protect the well-being of more than 7 million citizens of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region . After the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, Hong Kong gradually returned to stability, but gaps and deficiencies in the electoral system remained, posing direct risks to Hong Kong’s social stability and national security. This issue must be fully resolved to ensure the long-term stability and practice of “one country, two systems” and to ensure the long-term stability of the SAR.
Since March 5, many groups and politicians in Hong Kong have established dedicated street stations in the community to collect citizens’ signatures, support the improvement of the SAR electoral system and implement the principle of “patriots rule Hong Kong”. Among them, Xu Yingwei, Director of the Office of Civil Affairs of the Government of the Special Administrative Region, and Xue Yongheng, Director of the Office of Innovation and Technology, also went to the relevant street stations to sign their support.
