This design is aimed to form a new democratic electoral system suited to Hong Kong’s realities and with Hong Kong characteristics. Over the past 24 years since Hong Kong’s return to motherland, no one cared more about Hong Kong’s democracy and continued prosperity and stability than the Chinese government. Hong Kong is part of China and its electoral system could be classified as China’s local electoral system. The purpose of improving the electoral system in the HKSAR is to make sure the democratic system in Hong Kong moves forward more healthfully and smoothly. The implementation of “patriots governing Hong Kong” principle and the improvement of Hong Kong electoral system will help Hong Kong shift from chaos to stability, eliminate the worries of international community on the social chaos of Hong Kong and fully serve the interests of all parties.
