Zhang Jianzong believes that the implementation of a well-established electoral system can ensure that "patriots govern Hong Kong" and protect the overall interests of society, and help promote the steady development of democracy in Hong Kong.
In the final analysis, political security is the foundation of national security.
Without political security, Hong Kong cannot achieve long-term prosperity and stability.

Chen Maobo said that improving the electoral system and the Hong Kong National Security Law implemented last year is very important, necessary and urgent for the comprehensive implementation of "one country, two systems", "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong" and a high degree of autonomy.

It will help the entire society focus on gradually solving Hong Kong's deep-seated problems, so that Hong Kong's society and economy can continue to grow, stably and prosper.
"The central government has actively collected opinions from all walks of life in Hong Kong on improving the electoral system in a short period of time, so that the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress will fully consider it. Increasing the number and composition of the Election Committee and the Legislative Council just reflects balanced and orderly political participation and broader representation. , Represents an important step forward for the democratic electoral system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region." Zheng Ruohua said that she will lead the Department of Justice to fully cooperate with the government's work, implement and improve the electoral system as soon as possible, and enhance the governance efficiency of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
