When the NPC and CPPCC meet for their plenary sessions in March, the subject of political reform will probably be included in the agenda. That is contrary to speculation that it would be taken up by the NPC standing committee instead of the plenary. Specifically, these include those who hysterically attacked the central government, openly advocated Hong Kong independence, bad-mouthed the country and Hong Kong internationally, called for sanctions against the nation and the SAR, and advocated mutual destruction during the 2019 protests. First comes the Election Committee which selects the chief executive. In the last CE election, the pro-democracy opposition secured a minor, but substantive, presence in the Election Committee.
